Mojo Monday - #97

Another fab sketch from Mojo Monday this week. I'm really loving their sketches, they are so easy to work with :o)

The image is one of Sugar Nellie's Gorjuss Girls #2, coloured with Promarkers. The Sentiment was computer generated.

I couldn't get a decent picture of this one today, the weather is just too dismal. The little metal plaque in the bottom corner is really sweet - it's a single flower with a tiny ladybird just flying away from it :o)

Winter Wonderland - Week 9 'Make A Tree Decoration'

This week's challenge theme over at Winter Wonderland is to 'Make A Tree Decoration'. We really hope you will give this a go this week .... But remember if you still want to continue to make cards - that's fine too :o)



I created these lovely paper snowflakes using a YouTube tutorial from the wonderful Monica Gale. If you would like to have a go yourself, then here is the link - Paper Snowflake Tutorial. These snowflakes are really easy to make and take very little paper. I have followed Monica's tutorial, but just used smaller squares of paper - 6.5cm for the Blue and Brown Snowflake and 5.5cm for the Red and Blue Snowflake.

I have used all Stampin' UP! products this week .... :o)

Cardstock ........ Chocolate Chip, Bordering Blue, Real Red
Pattern Paper .... DSP Ski Slope
Stamp Set ........ Snow Burst
Ink .............. Bordering Blue
Other Products ... Dazzling Diamonds, Silver Elastic Cord

Also this week we welcome a new DT member! The wonderful Teri S has now joined us. Please take a few minutes to checkout Teri's blog .... her projects are amazing and truly inspirational.

The paper I've used here is absolutely gorgeous! I cut the flowers and butterflies out of one sheet that has the most marvellous glittering on it. The 2 background papers used also have a beautiful subtle shimmer (I couldn't get this to show up well in the photos).

And ....... I loved this paper so much, I just had to decorate the inside too! This is a big first for me never, ever having done this before :o)



I love this card ..... did you guess? LOL! It's the papers that have made it extra special for me :o)
