Home Run = a Memorable Mother's Day Card

This week I went for a home run: Mojo Monday sketch, Heart 2 Heart challenge (Mother's Day), Practical Scrapper challenge (use up stickers) and Jeanette Lyton's Color Me Monday.

I'd have to say this stretched me and a few pieces had to be reconsidered or filed in the trash. I am rather happy with the final project though.  

At our crop on Saturday, we taught the ladies how to make crumpled flowers and brainstormed how to use them. A brooch for Mother's Day seemed to be a perfect fit and what better way to give them than to include them as part of a card.

Hopefully my Mom won't look at this before she receives it this card :)

Another Mojo Monday - This time ON TIME

After missing out on last weeks Mojo Monday just by a little over an hour, I was determined not to miss out this week.  Actually, I am a little shocked that I was able to not only create a card in one evening, I was also able to get a photo shot and edited. Yippee!

Do you notice some new papers?  The floral and striped papers, plus the super cute My Stickease and  Irresistables Die Cuts  are from our upcoming National Scrapbooking Month special called Miracle. I can't wait to pick up another package as I only have very small scraps left (I have another project I'll be showing off very soon).  Oooh, I think I'm in love!


Life is feeling a bit chaotic right now.  Classes (to finish up my BS in Computer Science) just started back up and I'm a little scared...this teacher seems intense.  On top of that I am working on two special projects with CTMH (love it!) and we are fast approaching our May 1st All Day Crop (sa...weet, can hardly wait). Those close to my have commented that I thrive under pressure, it is true as it makes me stay focused and I feel like I am accomplishing a TON.

Have a marvelous day all!
