Easter Chick

This darling chick is from North Coast Creations and her proper name is Easter Bonnet Chick.  I found the chicken wire embossing folder at Tuesday Morning (score!) and couldn't resist using it for the background.

The sketch is from Sunday Stamps and the soft plaid is from the Paper Garden.

Mojo 491--Happy Birthday

I love the big, happy sun and the sentiments in Verve's Rise Above set, and the Mojo sketch is going in my file of favorites.    I sponged some clouds on the Tall Tag from Reverse Confetti, but really debated about how the clouds actually look with the dots...maybe too busy?

Thank You Post/CASE the DT

                                                                                                                                                                        The Postman brought happy mail today.  I was blessed with a flash prize from A Creative Journey with Melissa during the Spring Coffee Lovers Hop, and my new stamps arrived today.  Perfect timing for some Saturday crafting!  I used this fun set to create from A Creative Journey with Melissa and  CASEd Becca Cruger's amazing card on the CASE the DT Challenge at the Coffee Lover's Blog.

Many thanks are in order:

Thank you, Melissa, for the wonderful new stamps.  The images and sentiments ink up beautifully, and I love how you packaged the order.  I admire your commitment to important causes and your courage to follow your dream of creating your own stamp company.

Thanks, Amy and all the team at the Coffee Lovers Blog.  It was so much fun to play along with the Spring Hop to see others' cards.  The volume of creations was just mind-boggling.  Hope you are rested from this labor of crafty love.

Thanks for visiting!

Guest Design Post--- Stop and Smell the Flowers

 I am so honored and excited to be sharing as a guest designer at 4 Crafty Chicks for the month of April!  This week, Leanne is the hostess  and the theme for this week's challenge is flowers. My card features the Stitched Flowers Die set from My Favorite things and a sentiment from Verve's Kindness Matters.

I hope you will take time to visit 4 Crafty Chicks for some inspiration and to play along.   May your day be sweetened by kindness and include a little time to stop and smell the flowers.

Blessings,
Christine

Mojo 491: With Sympathy

This card features this week's Mojo sketch (just love skewed panels), Verve's Joyful Blooms/Dies, Reverse Confetti's Tall Tags, and the smaller RC Wreath Die.  I set a goal that every so often I would make a sympathy card to have on hand as they can be hard to make.  I like how the soft Amour papers worked with the stamps and dies to create a gentle look.

S'More Mojo---Birthday Blssings

We have a couple of family birthdays this week.  First, I made a masculine card using the Mojo 490 sketch, and it came together so easily, I couldn't resist using it for the second card.

The fun loopy frame and the sentiment are from Verve's On Occasion set, one that sees lots of ink.  I picked up a whole package of Cosmo Cricket papers at Tuesday Morning several summers ago and am still enjoying them along with the coordinating chipboard elements!
