Mojo Monday

Good evening! It's contest week over on the Mojo Monday blog, and I'm definitely making a card this week. I've missed several of these in a row due to the holidays. Plus, this sketch was intriguing... I usually have, well, "issues" with circles, but I could almost visualize this one. It definitely helped that I had some of my Bloom & Grow dp by My Mind's Eye sitting on my desk. It's been staring at me for the last two days, begging to be used. I love this paper... the colors, the patterns. And some of my favorites are almost gone! Might be time to order some more. :)

I used on of my flower nestabilities for the outer circle and went from there. I added some jewels to the corners in addition to the embellishments indicated in the sketch. And I had to sneak a bow on there somehow, lol! That middle just felt a little lonely... It needed something to balance the layers. And I didn't want to go overboard on the floral theme.

Well, I'm off to join my roomie for a little Chuck marathon on NBC. LOVE that show! It's the cheesiest humor, but it makes me laugh out loud during every single episode. Chuck's just so endearing, hehe. Have a wonderful rest of your evening! And happy almost Friday!

Thanks for stopping by!

  1. What a wonderful job with this mojo sketch, Kristina :D Great DP and colour combo. Love the nestie you used to frame the sentiment with and the bling is the perfect touch. I agree with your decision re: the ribbon/bow, it does fill in the space perfectly. Lovely job :D

  2. Wow! I can see why you love that dp!! Aqua and orange...a new twist to the pink and yellow of last summer! LOL I love that sentiment and the gems are adorable. Thanks for your continuing support...I'm doing well, it's just a matter of getting used to it. My faith has been strengthened which is a blessing :) (that's why I'm loving your sentiment right now!) Went into the school after hours yesterday to talk to my sub and a few colleagues...just so I'm not bombarded on Monday...planned for Monday and got caught up on mail...and a new student!! All is well, thanks, dear friend.

  5. Beautiful work! The bow fills the space nicely. I had the same troubles and kept me up way too late.
