Mojo Monday

Its a double me Mojo Monday! The sketch and the inspiration are from ME..ME .. I do not do many layouts anymore -  they are hard to do when your mojo just  does not want to work with you when it comes to layouts ...so I have to start days in advance to create a layout and then (shhh I cheat .. I  make the sketch after the layout)  

I hope  through the  sketch or inspiration layout we have  sparked your  creativity and can not  wait to  see your creation!  Remember to share  it  on our  forums or on our Facebook Page for a chance to win a  10.00  gift card from the store! 

For the layout I used Jodie Lee's Fairy Bell Collection for Prima  - They are my colors and I love the softness ... when  mojo is not  with you - you have to go to tried tested and true   to make creating a  little easier. 

There are lots and lots of handmade resin flowers (the lilies the small daisies, the leaves ) and they have been painted with 13@rts paints... If you have not used the 13@rts paints yet -  then buy 2 or 3 of your favorite colors and trust me you will be back to by them all .... They are the bomb in paints!  This was my first time using them ... and  I was shocked  how  much I am in love with them  ... A staple on the desk forevermore. Flying Unicorn Flowers with Petaloo flowers mixed in .

Sweet Child of Mine

From the time  my son was  born  I have always  referred to him as "Sweet Child of Mine" 

Now at  sixteen, I  have  dropped the word Sweet, lol   but  is still referred to as "The Child "

This  layout  was  for  Jax's challenge Gender Bender  - girl layouts  in blue and  boy layouts in pink-  so  here is  the  child  dressed in my  favorite color Pink!  This  was a fun and  inspirational  challenge -  I  enjoyed  making  a pink layout  for a boy ! 

Hot  Air  Balloons by Fab Scraps and misted  with  Fireworks Angel  Pink and Paint Dabber Gold by Ranger 

Some of the  flowers were handmade others are from Petaloo  along with the  laser cut  butterfly and  keyhole.  

Carpe Diem - January 2013 Kit of the Month

Another  layout  using the  Kit  of the Month- Carpe Diem .
I used the main kit, flower add on and  embellishment add on.
The misting   was  done  by  mixing the  Viva Inka  Gold - Gold and Steel Blue into a  misting bottle and  spraying ( love  inka  gold)  and we are carrying all the colors in the store.
I also used  Inka Gold - Gold  on  the  brick  stamp to add to the  background  ...

Year Gone By

"If you think back and replay your year, if it doesn't bring you tears, either of joy or sadness, consider the year wasted." 

This month on the forums I am  hosting a challenge - The Year Gone By  ..  I think most of us   capture that  moment in a  beautiful  profound way - but  we forget to add the  words to the story-  Words are an art form as well ... so this month  its  about the  year gone  by - those  profound  moments that  made you laugh or made you cry - but  you need to  journal them as well .. and if it  is  hidden  .. well you  need to show us  to . 

Here is  my  example for the  challenge : 

There is  not  title   to this  layout but  a quote : 

God doesn't give you the people you want, he gives you the people you need. To help you, to hurt you, to leave you, to love you and to make you the person you were meant to be.

My  journaling is  hidden  but  a pull out  tag ( very top sheet ) 

Inspired?  Come  join  us  for  this  challenge  or  many  more -  some  great RAK's are  up for  grabs as well! 

Thanks for stopping by ! 

CSI #48 and Flying Unicorn

Case Number  48 is up and  running strong!  Though this is the  last week we are  sponsering this  year , it  surely does not  mean that you and I can not  continue to play along.   Just  take a gander at the incredible palette that  this  week has  to offer and  journaling  ideas and  inspiration to help you along ! 

Using the above  palette-  here is  my  inspirational layout 

Dad always told me a cup of tea will solve the problems of the day. So if I am having a bad moment you will find me having a cup of tea and escaping the problems of the day . Journaling is well hidden behind the half circle which includes dad-isms and the rules I was brought up with - Never go to bed angry, Never leave the house without kissing the ones you love, your word is your bond, if you go into business always own 51% of the shares, and have a cup of tea to solve your problems.

products used are from the flying Unicorn store - Paper by Bobunny – Country Garden Collection, Riddersholm, Leaves Cottage Cutz Die, handmade flowers, Flying Unicorn Flowers, MS Punch, Magnolia Diecut, ZVA bling.
