Mojo Monday #242

This was made with my 2 favorite paper packs, Love Letters, and Newsprint.

I loved the papers last year.

Not near as much this year.

I think the difference was that all the prints in a pack worked well together and I could always tell from which pack they came.

This year there are mixes of papers that simply cannot be put together.

I prefer the "garanimal" paper packs. LOL!

Happy Monday to you all and thanks for stopping by!

Wednesday ... Cards I Love! and Retro Sketches

I am on a Night of Navy kick. I have always loved Navy but haven't used it much in the past 6 months or so. Now, I am reaching for it every other time I sit down to make a card.

It is easy to go masculine with Navy, but I love the challenge of making a sophisticated feminine card using Night of Navy.

This sketch was a perfect match for this type of card!

I love the way it turned out.

Supplies:

• Sahara Sand CS, Night of Navy CS, Very Vanilla CS, Whisper White CS, First Edition DSP
• Artistic Etchings, French Foliage, Elements of Style, Fresh Vintage
• StazOn Black, Sahara Sand, Night of Navy
• 5 Petal Punch, 1" Square Punch, Postage Punch, Antique Brads, Dimensionals, Stamping Sponges

Trending Tuesday

I have misplaced my magazine. I have been meaning to pick up a new one but haven't made it to the book store. This was a card featured in the magazine using SU products. So this isn't a TRUE trending Tuesday, but I thought this card was adorable and easy to do. I don't have the magazine to tell you who the original card maker was, but she was published! :-)
