Mojo with Pizzazz!

It's that time again and with the heat here in Toronto I had to pull out the Brights and Petal Pizzazz!

I love this set for it's bold and fun designs and paired with Tempting Turquoise, Rich Razzleberry, and Pumpkin Pie (all from the new Brights Collection) it's just an all around cheerful card.

I used the Lattice Die impressions folder for a bit of texture on the background. The 1/4" grosgrain ribbon and designer buttons were the perfect finishing touches!

Here is the design for you to create your own.

Don't forget that my new catalogue launch party, Summer Fiesta, is coming up on July 18th! If you haven't rsvp'd yet get on it because you'll get an extra ticket into the drawings for prizes just for letting me know you'll be attending!

Island Oasis DSP

I had scheduled this post for yesterday but I noticed today that it never posted so my apologies for that. But now that I'm here I will also let you know that my video for this week will be a tutorial on Colour Embossing and it will be ready on Saturday.

Also, the countdown is on to the new catalogue with less than a week until it goes live and only 3 weeks until my launch party, Summer Fiesta! The catalogues started arriving at my house yesterday with another box coming in today and I will start creating samples as soon as I place my order....around 12:01 am on July 1st I'm sure. :)

Anyways, as promised here are two of the coordinating cards I created to go with the Island Oasis 12x12 box. I'm loving this paper, it just screams summer and fun! It also makes me realize how much I could use a tropical vacation.....*sigh*

Mojo Monday 144

Welcome to another fabulous Monday....are you ready to kick start your mojo? The sketch this week is, as usual, gorgeous and I am loving the card I got out of it. I'm running short on time today since I have a sick little boy so I literally ran downstairs and this just came out...lucky, eh? It's simple but it's so elegant and it's actually the first card I've made with the Elements of Style stamp set. It's an absolutely stunning set and *spoiler alert* made it into the next catalogue!

Here's the sketch....have fun!
