Mojo108 - Mojo Monday Challenge

Here is my Mojo Monday challenge card. Aren't these snowmen cute? I had to add a some bling with the Dazzling Diamonds glitter on both the snow and the flower centers. Both stamps , Christmas Punch and The More the Merrier, are from hostess sets and what an incentive to host a party!

PPA11 - Color Challenge

This weeks challenge is a color challenge with Perfect Plum, Old Olive and Pumpkin Pie. I wanted to keep the colors light and the overall look clean. Even though it is fall, these colors remind me of spring so I thought flowers. I used the Big Shot Birds and Blooms dies with small circle stamps from Always. The greeting is from So Many Scallops ( retired hostess) and mounted with dimensionals on a Scallop Circle punch. I love how Stampin' Up! products coordinate so well with each other and how this scallop circle punch matches the flowers. One of my new favorites is the 1 1/4" striped grosgrain ribbons, so I happily added the old olive ribbon to underline the little flowers.

Mojo107 - Mojo Monday Challenge

AGAIN, I love the Autumn Meadows Designer Series Papers. They are so diverse and the colors so rich. The colors in the barn wood paper remind me of the Araucana chickens my sister and brother-in-law raise on their property in Washington state. The feathers of the Araucana are so beautiful and colorful especially when the sunlight hits them. They even lay colorful eggs in beautiful Martha Stewart blues and greens. I thought this might make a good card for my brother-in-law's birthday.

PPA10- Gratitude and Thanks- Thanksgiving Place Setting

Napkin Ring

Place Card

Wine Glass Marker (total of 8 in different colors)

The holiday season is my favorite from Halloween all the way through the New Year. I love entertaining and preparing our traditional Thanksgiving and Christmas meals. Megan and Jake also enjoy participating in the cooking and decorating the house and I am so glad they enjoy being actively involved. I am using this weeks challenge to help with my next class and our Thanksgiving table. As I have stated in my previous posts, I just love the Autumn Splendor stamp set and the Autumn Meadows designer paper. I am also going to use these to create more fall decorations around the house and for our Thanksgiving table. I have much to celebrate and be grateful for.

Mojo106- Mojo Monday Challenge

Here is my card for this week's Mojo Monday challenge. It was great timing because I needed an idea for a card for my friend Dave's birthday. I LOVE LOVE LOVE the new Autumn Meadows DSP. I paired it with the Autumn Splendor stamp set and incorporated most of the colors in the paper for the card. I think the papers are absolutely beautiful and worked well for a masculine card.

PPA9 Challenge - Pottery Barn Inspiration

This weeks challenge was to use the Pottery Barn picture above as an inspiration. I used the new Charming stamp set with pumpkin, pie, old olive, kraft very vanilla and a touch of chocolate chip to replicate the colors from the picture above. Sounds delicious doesn't it? The very vanilla card stock was embossed using the Textured Impressions Finial Press with the Big Shot. Of course I need to add ribbon which I accented with the very vanilla Hodgepodge Hardware. Ummm very vanilla, chocolate chip, pumpkin pie.... I'm getting hungry.
