MOJO Monday #234 - Bright Blossoms & Summer Smooches

Can you believe that it is Monday and I actually have my card done for Mojo Monday? I can't. LOL. Usually I keep saying I'm going to do it and then I just don't make it up to my closet to work. Well... not today. I've been wanting to share a card using the new products I got so I headed over to Mojo Monday to get some inspiration. I pulled out my Summer Smooches DSP and my Bright Blossoms stamp set. These products will be available to order April 1st... so mark your calendars. You are gonna love them!

For this card I got my markers out and colored on the stamps to get the colors you see. I love the Stampin Write markers. I don't have all the SU colors in the ink pads (yet)....but I have ALL the markers. Now... no matter what color ink I need... I've got it. Here is my take on this weeks challenge.

The blues and yellows are pretty accurate in the picture... but the Tangerine Tango came out a little brighter than real life. I'm still working on finding a program that I'm happy with to edit my photos. iPhoto is just not doing it for me.

Here is the sketch. I obviously went for square. 

Also... don't forget to head over to my YouTube channel and check out my video. I'm doing my first giveaway.

SUO Challenge #41 - Easy Events Card Box and Cards

Happy Thursday!
Well... I had hoped to have a video to share with you today. However... my three year old has had a fever over 103 for the past two days. Today he is all better...YEAH!!!... but he's still home with me. He has decided to exert all the energy he missed out on the past two days TODAY. So... no video. BUT... there WILL be one tomorrow. If nothing else I will at least be doing the giveaway that I've been talking about.

I do have a project for you though. I worked on it here and there while James slept. I hope you enjoy it.
My inspiration came from the SUO Challenge of the week. It was "Think Spring". I decided to make a small card box with some 3x3 cards. This is the first time I entered a challenge for SUO. My entry is for the front of the box.

The cards measure 3x3. I used my Stampin Up Simply Scored to make matching envelopes and I used the Simply Scored and the Diagonal Plate to make the box. Maybe I can do a video tomorrow on how I made the box and the envelopes :)

Also... I check out all these blogs and I love the way they photograph their pictures. I'm not so great and I'm experimenting. I made my own little photo box today but it needs some tweaking. I had seen a YouTube video on how to make it but I can't find the video now so I kind of made it up from memory and I know it's horribly wrong. But it is how I took my photos today. I would love your ideas and comments about how YOU take your photos of your projects.

And I always love how someone takes a "sneak peak" preview of a card or just highlights part of it. My cards today are pretty simple but I wanted to at least take one picture like that, just to see if I could. Again... still working on that. But here's my pic. Tell me what you think.

It lacks that "wow" factor but I'm not sure how to get it. Somebody want to help me out?

Heres my supply list:

Mojo Monday 228 & PP82

I headed over to Mojo Monday for a little inspiration. And along the way I also checked out The Paper Players. I decided to use TPP color challenge with Mojo Monday.

I actually just ordered the Poppy Parade and Pool Party colors. Plus... I just got the Everyday Enchantment DSP paper and the Language of Friendship stamp set FREE! Plus the brad that I used in the center of the flower was also free. So I thought this was the perfect chance to see what I could come up with. I love getting free stuff and SAB makes it so easy. Here is my take on these two challenges.....
