Mojo Monday 123

The folks at Mojo Monday added a twist to this week's layout - a choice of round or square. Examples like this help me understand how to take any layout and make it my own.

Here is this week's sketch:

For this card, I used a stamp set from the Occasions Mini as well as a Sale-a-bration set. I bought these in the new clear mount option which I like a lot - much easier to store.

Supplies:

Stamp sets: Whimsical Words, I {Heart} Hearts

Ink: Rose red, Taken with Teal

Paper: Sweet Pea DSP, Rose Red, Taken with Teal, Sahara Sand cardstock

Other: border punch, Buttons, Ribbon, Pearl Cotton thread

Stamping Sisters

A while back, my sister came to visit for the weekend and we spent the whole time stamping. It was fun to share supplies and try some tools and stamps that I don't own. We got her Christmas cards made and had some fun with some other projects. Here are some of our creations:

I love the idea of sponging a second color onto the medallion stamp. Such a pretty effect.

Just playing around with embossing plates and the Big Shot.

We cased this great card (I'm sorry I have forgotten the link to the original) .

Love this Cottage Wall designed paper!

Playing around with my sister's Circle Circus stamp set. I may have to buy this one.

This last card I made more recently after I read on a blog about using the Medallion stamp on printed paper instead of plain cardstock. Cool idea!
