Mojo Monday 177 - Sweetheart Be Mine!

Hello again,

My Mojo for this week is a little late due to the Dentist wanting to pull out the remains of my tooth, which had snapped off last week whilst eating a nut bar!The snapping didn't hurt, the old tooth was dead from a root canal 20 years ago, but the pulling sure did.

This took me ages of mucking around to get it right, and I'm still not entirely happy with it.  As you would know I'm not one for making everything perfect, the sentiment is a bit too messy me thinks, but here it is anyway.



Here is a bit of a close up of the little birdie - it's from stampin up and while I don't have that punch, my friend Trish does. I dabbed green perfect pearls all over his wing and across the top. It's really shiny, but as usual doesn't show in the photos.


The background was a pretty metallic paper I picked up at my newsagency and embossed with the new Stampin Up embossing folder. I love this folder!!! Again the shine is not showing darn it!

The lace is a strip of seam from an old lace jacket that was past it's prime and much more suited to my cards lol. get it jacket - suited, small pun there.

Hope you all like my Mojo this week.

Beautiful Flowers on Lattice

Hi Blog-land,

Today I have been having a blast making these gorgeous Lattice front cards. I have been inspired by another blog and this amazing lady who owns it even gives tutorials. Her name is Valita and here is a link to her blog so you can try it out for yourself!

Among other things on Valita's blog that I love are the flowers decorating the lattice. I am going to be back with Valita for a few more lessons in other gorgeous crafty cardy things for sure!

Here's what I made today...



The blue flowers have a little perfect pearls on them - of course! and the red/pink ones have a bit of glitter. I used a spellbinders die (labels 4) to cut the window on each of them. The Yellow card has been embossed with the budding vine embossing folder and the a bosskut flourish used as stems. The green card was stamped with ink boutiques memoirs and a little crepe paper used as stems.The cards are all from my Stacks.

Hope you like them, however, they have nothing on Valita's works of art - do check her out at the link above, her work is amazing!
