All Hallow's Eve

 Hello crafty friends and welcome!
I was able to make a few cards this past weekend,
since Mr. Mojo decided to return from
him unauthorized vacation.
Here's a fun Halloween card:


I've been hoarding this spooky dimensional sticker for
years. That's right, years! I finally decided to
part with it and use it on a card. The packaging
says that it's from 2009! 


It's a special sticker, as it lights up!
And it still works after all these years!
(I hope you can see this short video!)


Here's the finished inside:



I love Halloween. It's my favorite holiday.
Strangely, I don't make nearly as many
Halloween cards as I do for Christmas. I
should work on that. LOL!

That's all for today. Thank you so much for
visiting! Have a great rest of your day!

Coastal Chic Birthday Wishes

 Hello and welcome!
It's been a minute since I've been here.
Mr. Mojo was apparently on vacation for over a week,
but he's back and so here is a card I created over
the weekend:


I'm digging this color combination of red, pink and craft!


Here is the finished inside:



Not too blingy. I've added some glitter drops to the
berries and the centers of the flowers for
a bit of sparkle. 😊

That's all for now. Thanks for visiting, and I
hope you have a great rest of your day!

Blue Ridge Mountains Birthday

 Hello and welcome crafty friends!
I have a card to share with you.
I have been challenging myself to start
using the items in my NBUS pile, and
the stencils used here were finally inked
for the first time:


This is a mini slimline card. I don't have many blue inks, so I
just used what I had. It doesn't look too shabby. 😊I inked the
top lightly with some gray ink before stamping the birds and sentiment.
Ta-da! Instant Blue Ridge Mountains!


Here's the inside:


I didn't add any embellishments as I think I'll be sending this to
a dude in my family for his birthday.

That's it for now. Thank you for visiting, and
I hope you have a great rest of your day!

Merry Christmas Florals

 Hello and happy Fri-YAY!!
I'm popping in with another
Christmas card:


Anyone else take advantage of the Christmas in July sales?
Yeah, I did too. The stamps and designer paper used on this
card was the end result of that. 😊
Bonus, I actually broke open these new-to-me goodies
right away, instead of adding them to my growing
pile of NBUS! LOL!


The center of the large flower has glitter drops on it, and
all the other flowers/buds were winked with Stella
for some extra shimmer and glitz.
(Although you can't see that with my crack photography skillz)

Here's the finished inside:


That's all I have for now. I thank you for stopping by,
and hope you have a great weekend!
