Mojo Monday Sketch Challenge, Heart 2 Heart,Papercraft Star and Color Me Monday

It has been a while since I have played with any of the sketch challenges lately.  So, I sat down this afternoon and checked out the Mojo Monday Sketch Challenge and Color Me Monday on Jeanette Lynton's blog.  Heart 2 Heart Challenges and Papercraft Star are also holding challenges and my card fit in to BOTH of those as well.  Heart 2 Heart Challenges is having an embossing challenge while Papercraft Star is accepting Thank You submissions.  So what the heck?  I entered this little owl in the 3 that I could!

I REALLY liked the sketch and loved the colors that Jeanette picked for this week.  I have yet to get out all of the NEW colors that were introduced in the Autumn/Winter 2010 Idea Book and thought it would be fun to play with them.

If you would like to play along with the sketch challenge, click on the Mojo Monday banner on my sideline.  The colors for the Color Me Monday were Gypsy, Pear, Lagoon and Cotton Candy.  I ended up using just the Pear and Lagoon on my card, so may end up playing a bit more with the other colors in the challenge.

Supplies used:
Paper: ALL CARDSTOCK Lagoon, Pear, Black and White Daisy (no wonder it is so heavy!)
Stamps: Say it in Style, Hot Diggity
Inks: Black, Pear and Lagoon
Embellishments: Lagoon Sparkles (blue and green sparkles assortment) Black Ribbon, Lagoon Mini Medley Accents and Black Hemp.
Tools: Cuttlebug Embossing Folder and Nestabilities, 3/4 Circle SU! Punch

Thanks for stopping by!!

Hope this has inspired you to play along with some of the challenges out there!  It is a lot of fun and helps stretch your creativity a bit!

Happy Scrapping and Stamping!

Mojo Monday Sketch using Color me Monday color combo

WOO HOO!!  I am SO excited that not only have I created a card for the Mojo Monday sketch challenge, but I used the color combo from Jeanette Lynton's Color Me Monday color combo!!!  Not to mention that I used what I have and pulled out some B&T from the Free Spirit paper pack, which is no longer a current product.   That was actually a HUGE step for me.  I usually don't break out the retired papers to use on my current projects.  Guess I just like to showcase the current products that CTMH has to offer......

SO here it is......  The colors used are Outdoor Denim, Indian Corn Blue, Cranberry and Creme Brulee.  I cheated a bit and used a bit of Honey Ink on the Creme Brulee CS to ink the embossed lines AND the B&T paper uses Honey too. 

Supplies used are all CTMH

Paper: Free Spirit, Outdoor Denim CS, Creme Brulee CS, Indian Corn Blue CS

Stamp Set: Childhood Portrait

Inks used: Creme Brulee, Outdoor Denim, Indian Corn Blue, Honey

Embellishments: Cranberry Ribbon, Outdoor Denim Brads and Outdoor Denim Ribbon

Tools used: Paper Trimmer with scoring blade to create lines on CS

Thanks so much for stopping by!!  

I hope that I have inspired you to participate in a challenge or two!  This was a fun one for me and I look forward to the next one......

Happy Scrapping and Stamping!!
