Liana Card

Liana - 5 Pieces

Thanks to Mojo Monday for this sketch! it was perfect for this BasicGrey paper with the eskimos, deer and Santa's!

Used: 5 Pieces of the "Eskimo Kisses" line by Basic Grey

Haven Card

Haven - 9 Pieces

Nine pieces is a lot for me! Totally worth it though! I love this card. Thanks so much to Mojo Monday for the beautiful sketch! I didn't use any ribbon, but I am still really happy with this card. I love how fun these Fancy Pants papers make this card pop! So fun and bright, this is me hanging on to summer with all of my might! I'm SO not a winter person! One other thing about this card that I like is the fact that I reused the cardboard lid flaps from box and used it to back the green piece of paper that I stamped the sentiment on. My own chipboard, and it was pretty much free! Sweet!

**BTW I forgot to mention that this card is on that I am using to play along with the Fancy Friday Challenge over on the Fancy Pants blog. I love their papers and have a blast using them. When I found their blog and their challenges I was so excited!

Used: 9 pieces of the "Summer Soirée" line by Fancy Pants

Keaton Card

Keaton - 7 Pieces

I love, love, love this card! Thanks to Mojo Monday for the wonderful sketch! I was not so sure how it was going to turn out, but in the end I think it's going to be a longtime favorite! I have not had many cards that I've made with this line of papers from Fancy Pants, that I haven't liked. Be sure to let me know what you think about the card. Thanks for checking it out!

Hudson Card

Hudson - 6 Pieces

Thanks to the wonderful ladies over at Mojo Monday I have this fun new card to show off today. I really love how it turned out! It's definitely got a masculine feel with the paper and I love that right now! I got to use some brads, something I don't do very often, and I think they really make the piece. I also used a chipboard piece to give the circle some dimension. I hope you all like it. Be sure to leave a comment if you want or just use one of the quick buttons below!

Used: 6 Pieces of the "Mr. Campy" line by Cosmo Cricket, a 1 & 3/4 inch chipboard circle and 3 brads.

Claire Card

Claire - 6 Pieces

Another Mojo Monday Challenge (8.22.09) from this week. I think this card, with this paper, really made me step outside of my comfortable little box of card making. I find myself doing that a lot lately, and I have really liked the results, for the most part. I am usually a firm believer in alternating patterned and solid (and semi solid) papers in my cards. This card has no solid papers. And though it's pretty wild, I like it.

Used: 6 Pieces of the "Girl Friday" line from Cosmo Cricket and a corner rounder.

Ryder & Lola Cards

Ryder - 5 Pieces

Lola - 6 Pieces (5 Patterns)

The Lola card came from Mojo Monday's challenge from this week. They turned 100 this week and did one challenge a day. The Ryder card seems like it will be one that will translate to a masculine look very easily. I wasn't sure how these were going to turn out, but in the end I am really happy with them. I used paper from a company I had never heard of before, The Paper Company Studio, and after looking them up online I would like to use some of their other lines in the future.

Lola Used: 6 Pieces (5 Patterns) of the "Flowers & Frills" line by The Paper Company Studio

Willow & Silas

Willow - 4 Pieces (as shown)

Silas - 5 Pieces (as shown)

Two new cards thanks to Mojo Monday! Both cards show how you can take a card and mix it up by adding ribbon where a paper piece was or by just not putting a paper piece in. In the Willow you can very easily swap out the ribbon and use a strip of paper. On the Silas sketch there is a small strip of paper on the left edge of the green rectangle, but I didn't want to use it with this card.

Willow Used: 4 Pieces of the "Prudence" line by Crate Paper and one length of 3/8 inch ribbon.

Silas Used: 5 Pieces of the "Happy Day" line by Chatterbox.
