Mojo Monday 482

Hello friends!  I've finally gotten a card ready to enter into a Mojo Monday challenge.  It has been awhile.

I'm in my craft room trying to keep my germs to myself - I've got something and it's driving me insane! - so I started going through my things and found this cute stamp set I got from Paperwishes a few years ago.  I think they still sell it.  It's Janie's Girlfriends - Our Friendship.  I colored the girls with Spectrum Noir markers.  The paper is from HOTP Red Velvet Artful Card set. 



I loved the friends so much I had to try them in another color.  This time I colored them with Spectrum Noir Essential colored pencils.  I was tickled to find patten paper and ink to match the dresses' colors.  I have a bad habit of coloring the outfits first and then hunting feverishly to find the right color paper!

CHEER!

I am stuck home today without a voice!  I've had laryngitis for the last two days.  So, I thought I'd let my fingers do the talking.  This is a picture from my newest coloring book and I used Spectrum Noir professional colored pencils - Essentials!  :-).  It took me back to my short-lived JV cheerleading days. (The season was cut short due to bad weather and frequent game cancellations.  They cut the JV games in order to get the varsity games in before the season was over!)  I went to Gretna High School - GO HAWKS!  Our colors were blue, gold and white and the wonderful cheer was BLUE GOLD AND WHITE...YOU SHO' LOOK GOOD TONIGHT!  Good times!

Baby, it's Cold Outside

Good evening everyone!  I made this card using the card sketch from SCT365 this month and the leftover papers and embellishments from my layouts.  Enjoy!

SCT365 class

Well it has been AGES since I've created a layout to post on my blog.  It's been ages since I've had any activity on the blog.  Instagram has SPOILED ME!  Nonetheless, I am determined to be more active this year so to help with the effort, I signed up for the SCT365 class.  It lasts all year!  Talk about having motivation to make layouts and cards to post.  Got something to get me going now!

For my first layout of 2017 and for the January sketch from SCT365, here it is...

Not too bad.  :-)  Next week, I'll work on a few cards.  Until then, be blessed!

COMING SOON...

...Hello blog friends!  I've been away but am about to start on a whole new venture in papercrafting.  Stay tune for my announcement coming Labor Day!

Opposites Attract

Hi all!  It took me until the last week of the month but I got my layout done!  Boy, did this month fly by!  My DH and I are about as different as two people can be and it shows in this picture.  This is an old pic of us and even though none of the colors from Happy Times are actually in the photo (hence the reason for the added green accents throughout the page.  I wanted to pick up the green in the carpet!  Also, it matched the green leaves and my blue suit is not too far off the blueish leaves in the paper!) it still made for a cute layout.

All the products are from CTMH Happy Times except the gems, doily, wooden couple accent and green cardstock.  I used Copic pens to color my couple to match the paper and to continue my opposite theme.  The letters were cut from my Cricut Expressions 2.

Enjoy!
Debra :-)
