Mojo Monday 152

This is my first attept at the "Mojo Monday" challenge.

Happy Birthday Cupcake Card

Okay, this card was a learning experience that I want to share! The glitter paper I used is Colorbox and it is beautiful BUT a pain. There was glitter all over my cricut mat and I had a difficult time sticking anything to it. I tried the tape gun because it usually works wonderfully, fell off! So I used 3M glue and I had to hold pressure on it until it dried, about a minute. So... for the card, I used paper from DCWV (patterened paper), PaperTreyInk (solid paper), and the beautiful background paper is some more cool stuff my friend Stephanie got me! The cupcake is cut from Hello Kitty Greetings. I simply printed to greeting from the computer and dressed it up with a couple of brads! This is a trick I like if I don't have a stamp that says exactly what I need!

Mom, when are you going to start scrapbooking again?

That is what my dear sweet daughter wants to know!  I have been consumed with making cards lately and probably have only made 5 scrapbook layouts this summer.  I signed up for a few card swaps, so as soon as I complete my obligation, I'll start scrapbooking again!  I think she's excited to see herself in a layout on my blog!

Baby Card

I used a Martha Stewart punch that I got off Ebay, for a fraction of the real price.  I used the Cuttlebug folder Swiss Dots and PaperTreyInk paper and ribbon.  The sentiment is a rub on that I got on clearance at JoAnn's.  I am trying very hard to be a frugal crafter!  I cut the moon with the Cricut cartridge Nursery Rhymes (I think!) and Stickled his face.

Animals on Parade Card

Here's a card I made for a monthly card swap on the Cricut message board.  I use the same paper combo, DCWV patterened paper and PaperTreyInk solid paper.  I used the Animal Kingdom Cricut cartridge.

Buttoned and Tied Card

This is a card I made for a card swap on the Cricut message board.  I am addicted to card make lately!  I guess It's a good thing since I joined a swap that I have to make 60 cards for before Oct. 1st!  This card is made with DCWV printed paper and PaperTreyInk solid cardstock.  I used PaperTreyInk stamps too.
