Mojo Monday #238 & H2H

Got busy and missed last weeks Mojo Monday but this weeks sketch begged to be created!  So simple and fun.  Also, well popping around the inspiration blogs I saw this weeks Heart 2 Heart colour challenge which is so the Dotty for You papers.  Two challenges in one! Fun.

I decided to use my new Close To My Heart Cricut® Art Philosophy cartridge as much as possible on this card as I haven't had much of a chance to experiment with it yet.  I ended up only using a few images on this card but it did take awhile to decide which ones I wanted to try!

The size of the card became 4 x4 1/2 once I got the postage stamp squares cut out and of course I used the exclusive limited edition Dotty For You papers as they are just so bright and cheerful!

I used a few Just Blooms flowers inking them with Sunset and stamped the "Hello!" from the A Bowwow stamp set in Lagoon.  A bit of Startdust glitz glitter gel in the centre of the flower and it's ready for a friend.  So simple and fun. Enjoy.

Sunday Afternoon

Image
It's Sunday and I finally got to spend some time down in the craft room!  Last week was very busy with company and I had performances with The Allegra Singers.  I so love to sing! I live a very charmed life in that I am married to a wonderful man, have an amazing child and get to do things that make my soul happy like scrapbooking and singing! A very charmed life indeed.

Today's little creation was inspired by "Dynamic Duos" Challenge #1!  This is a brand new challenge blog where you create only using the colours they suggest and neutrals.  For the layout I decided to try Freshly Made Sketches #33 where the aim is to keep your project clean-lined and fresh.  I am also submitting this card to CAS-ual Fridays #51 in celebration of their first birthday.


 I used Close To My Heart Pear and Lagoon for the colours and a scrap from my Dotty For You paper package (that wonderful $5 pack of paper is going to be used for a long, long time).  I also used my Art Philosophy Cricut…
