Perfect Blend (The Mojo and a Snow Day!)

Hi!

We're having another snow day, and I love it! Perfect for me to catch up on work and to get things ready for the baby (that's due in 4 weeks!)

Speaking of "Perfect"... Today I used the Stampin' Up! Perfect Blend stamp set to play along with the Mojo Monday Sketch challenge. I've had this set for a while and am just getting around to playing with it. I've also had the Simply Pressed Clay (the button) for-eva and am just now using it. I like it and it is easy to use.

We'll be playing with it at my stamp clubs this week. Actually, this is one of the cards we'll make.

Here's the sketch...

I really like how this one turned out!  What are your thoughts? 

 Of course, I used all Stampin' Up! supplies and they can all be purchased in my online store by clicking here!

I hope you all had a great Holiday Season!  Today, I played along with the Mojo Monday Sketch Challenge and I used the Happy Watercolor stamp set from the new Occasions Catalog.  At first, I really didn't know what to do with this stamp set, but then as I was browsing the web, I started seeing all these beautiful cards made with it.  I had to get my hands on it!

Here's my card...

And here's the sketch....

Grill Punch Art and the Mojo Monday Sketch

Hi!

Punch Art class is coming up on Thursday night! It's almost Memorial Day, so I figured there is no better time to make a grill. I combined the punch art grill with this week's Mojo Monday Sketch challenge. I really like the sketch this week. There's still time for you to play along! 

Notice that I used the ornament punch (Item # 119847) to make the grill. It's retiring this year... You'll only be able to purchase it until June 3... and... it's on sale for only $12.71. You can see a list of all of the accessories that will be retiring right here!  Remember that these accessories are only available while supplies last... so don't hesitate to buy them now.  Things are selling out.  If there is an X beside the item in the spreadsheet, they are already sold out.  All retiring stamp sets are guaranteed in stock until June 3.  You can see the list of retiring sets here!  

You can order these items by clicking here!

Have a great weekend!
Love,
Keisha
