Mojo Monday #280

My posts are fewer and far between these days... so I'm glad to sneak in some crafty time this evening to get my Mojo Monday card done.  I started working part time at our local library back in November, and we are short a couple of people right now, so I am picking up some extra hours.  When that happens, something else has to give!  On a positive note - see those little zig zags on my card?  Yes, it's stitching!  If you know my cards at all, I stitch on nearly all of them... and I have been without a sewing machine for almost 3 months.  It's nearly killed me (smile).  Round about the same time, my husband's car was in an accident and out of commish for 3wks, and our computer was on the fritz for about 3wks, but we were all healthy & happy, so losing my sewing machine was kind of small potatoes, you know?  Here's what I came up with:

Papers & stamp set are all La Belle Vie Workshop on the Go; Sentiment is from Happy Birthday; Rosette ribbon - all CTMH; Copic markers.

Deconstructed Sketch #84

I have a little bit of a Parisian theme happening for this week's Deconstructed Sketch...  I used La Belle Vie workshop on the go stamp set & papers and the Jardin stamp set to put it all together:

 Patterned papers are La Belle Vie; Cardstock is Bamboo, Colonial White & La Belle Vie Mauve; Stamp sets are La Belle Vie WOTG & Jardin; Ink is Black, Bamboo & Desert Sand; Rosette ribbon; Cricut Artiste cartridge - all Close To My Heart; Notebook Plain Jane stamp & Rectangular die, Verve; Tilda Swirl die, Poppy Stamps.

Dynamic Duos #32

It's monochromatic week at Dynamic Duos!  Our colours are Pretty in Pink and Rose Red, so I have chosen CTMH's Hollyhock and Blush with a few touches of black thrown in.  I have had major computer issues this week, with our desktop crashing... and it could be another week or so before it is back, so I apologize for the poor quality of my photo taken with my husband's cell phone!  Once I'm back up and running, I'll edit the post with a decent photo :o)  I really love this Eiffel Tower image, and all the delicate images that came with it in the La Belle Vie workshop on the go, so I was excited to use it for this week's challenge:

I cut out the Eiffel Tower, the library card and the Magnifique die cuts with the Cricut Artiste cartridge and then stamped them with their coordinating stamps in black ink. Then I used Copic markers to shade the Magnifique banner in both of the pink shades of our challenge.  Both the tower and banner are popped up on pop dots, and I added some bling to the scallop and the top of the tower.  A very different card for me, but I love it!  I have used this week's Mojo Monday sketch.
     We hope you'll join us over at Dynamic Duos this week, we ask that you use just the two colours from the challenge, but adding neutrals like black, kraft, skin tones etc. is allowed.  Head on over to the DD blog to see what the design team has come up with this week, or you can see all of their links on my sidebar.

Cardstock is Hollyhock, Blush, Black and White Daisy; Stamp sets are Jardin, La Belle Vie, and Approved; Ink is Black; Baker's Twine and Sparkles; Cricut Artiste Cartridge - all CTMH; Copic Markers; Tilda Swirl die.
