Mojo Monday Challenge

2009-05-19T10:49:00.000-07:00

Just raided our holiday craft room and produced this -pink really not my colour - hope you like it!!! On the other card, lost my way a bit-started with stamps of flowers, and took it from there.

The elephant card is based on the Mojo Monday Challenge.

The "drinks" card was done with bits and pieces - stripes and spots seem to go well together. It's great babysitting the animals -lotsof time to create. Perhaps more later on in the week.......... Best wishes to all -Barbie

Finally, it took me ages to think this one out - I don't know whether it's too much. I'm getting on, slowly but surely and am now embarking on my next offerings. So long for now!!!!

This is my first effort with animals and flowers, and I have to say that I enjoyed doing this one. Again, stamps and colour blending have worked well (I hope).

More of the same and similar. I am beginning to get the hand of colouring using blending stumps. I hope you all like it.

At last, an update to my blog. I have used stamp and colour this time although I think the colour could be a bit more saturated, but iy seems to suit the background.

These are my latest offerings - very simple but I have much difficulty in matching layers. I think I prefer the lighter touch. I had some hand made papers for Christmas and some Whispers, and I am gradually coming to terms with the latter, coupling them with ordinaary coloured pencils.

I made this card to send my Neice and Nephew pictires of their children taken over Christmas.

I recently had cause to thank Scoopy for letting me have her crafty "castoffs" and I made her this card

Hi everyone, and a very happy new year to you all. Updating my Blog this time has been a pain, but I hope it works this time. I have bought a couple of "Forever Friends" stamps to "play with, and the results of one are here for your approval and suggestions for improvement. I am not very good at matching background paper - I had some for Christmas, and I musyt try and use them. I enjoy colouring but don't think I have got the hang of it yet. Await your comments.....

I made these cards from peel-offs, ribbon and wallpaper hope they are up to scratch. It is difficult to make cards for men - thought the grey one might do!!!
