Last Mojo Monday of 2014

Before I get to posting my card for today's Mojo Monday Challenge, I would love it if you would stop by the

 Pumpkin Spice blog 

and vote for this card,

which I entered in their Blue & White challenge.  Thank you!!

***************

Here is the card I made for
 Mojo Monday Sketch Challenge #378 .

Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge also posts a new sketch on Mondays.  And I've made a quick card for that challenge, also.

And there you have it... A tall & skinny card and a square card.  Both are made with CTMH products.

Have a great day everyone! 

and please don't forget to vote for my card here.

Snowflakes for the gals

For Christmas this year

 I made crocheted snowflakes for my crafty friends.  

Since these are supposed to be dishcloths, I added a bottle of Lemon Grass hand lotion 

and tied it up in a neat little bundle with a red bow.

I actually finished my last snowflake just last evening.  I made 10 snowflakes out of 1 big ball of crochet cotton.  But I needed 12.  Luckily, I had a partial skein of white with silver thread through it in my stash to finish up this year's gift project.

I am sharing this at these challenge blogs:
Allsorts Challenge 290/291 - Last Minute Gifts
Crafting for all Seasons Challenge #92 - Anything Christmas but a card
Miriam's Crafting Blog 19th Monthly Challenge - Handmade Gifts
Top Tip Tuesday Challenge - Make Your Own

Christmas Thanks

This little card is already in the mailbox to thank my dear friend on the other side of the country for the lovely gifts she sent to our family.  Using last week's freebie from Bugaboo Digi Stamps, I quickly made this thank you card so everyone could sign it yesterday and I could post it today.

Of course, I'll be entering this in the Catch the Bug December Bingo Challenge using the first column,
 
Bugaboo image, glitter and player's choice.  With most of my craft supplies tucked away for the holidays and not much time, my choice was quick and easy.
I'm also submitting the card to:
C.R.A.F.T. Challenge #291 - Anything Goes
Creative Knockouts Challenge #69 - Anything Goes
Cute Card Thursday Challenge #353 - Anything Goes


Take a look at this beautiful plate my grandson made for me for Christmas.  
Not bad for 8 years old!

It's almost time!

Making cards for men is often difficult. * If you need some inspiration, all you need to do is visit Cindy Groh's blog, Cre8tive Cindy, and check out her Manly Monday posts.  This week she was kind enough to feature one of my cards.  Thank you, Cindy.

And she's made a wonderful clock card as her own contribution.

Speaking of clocks, by this time tomorrow my house will be in bedlam as my grandchildren tear open gifts in less time than it took to wrap them.  Hopefully the weather will be nicer so we can send them outside with their new pogo sticks.  It is so terribly dreary here today, rain, fog and general yuck!  I delivered Christmas cookies to my neighbors and came home drenched.  I only have a few simple things to wrap, those that the mailman delivered just today.  So I finally have a handle on the holiday.    

*My DH just looked over my shoulder, started reading the post and said "doing anything for men is difficult".

His exact words, I swear!

I came across a card I received last year and decided I could quickly upcycle the image for the current Blue & White challenge at Pumpkin Spice.  All my crafting stuff has been temporarily relocated so I could use the dining room table tomorrow.  I did manage to find enough items, DP, dazzles and ribbons, to make this card.  

I am submitting this card to:

Pumpkin Spice Challenge #96 - Blue & White

Get Creative Challenges #4 - Blue, White, Silver

Challenge Up Your Life Challenge #4 - Christmas without Christmas Stamps

Fussy & Fancy Challenge - Snowflakes and Ribbon

Crafty Little Fairies Challenge - Holly or Ivy

Break's over, my tea is cold, I must return to last minute preparations.  TTFN

Another Mojo Monday Card?

Usually I only do multiple Mojo Monday cards when it's the first challenge of the month to increase my chances of winning (winning a set of Verve stamps is on my bucket list).  This week I wanted to make a special card for a friend so I used the mojo sketch and made this card....

(Stamps, ink and paper are CTMH)

Then I realized I couldn't post this on my blog or my friend would see it before she got it in the mail.  So I made another Mojo card which I posted on Monday.  But it is safe to post this one now because, after seeing the sketch at Atlantic Hearts Challenge, I made my friend another card which I know she will love.  I'll post that one later this week for you to see, too.

Mojo Monday #377

With Christmas just days away, we'll all be celebrating the New Year shortly thereafter.  They say, and I have no idea who 'they' are, that whatever you do on New Year's Day you'll be doing all year.  I generally clean the old condiments out of the refrigerator. 
  But once a year is enough of that!

Using the January stamp from a CTMH calendar set, here is today's Mojo Monday card.

I am submitting this card to these challenges:
