Mojo Wednesday-Unity style

So fellow Gleeksters....was last nights episode all that you hoped and waited for?! LOVED IT!! I totally missed Sue and her crazy antics. She's also slightly grotesque sometimes. Can't wait to see how all the new twists affect life at McKinley!

Now, on with the "show"!

I've been playing some more with my Unity March KOTM. Needed to squeeze as much play time in with this kit before the April one arrives any day! Fell in love with this little bracket stamp at first sight. I paired it with the quote from the same kit. So cute! My layout follows this weeks Mojo Monday #163. Still loving my BG Green at Heart dp too. So much so, that I think you'll be rather sick of seeing it by week's end!

With my leftover scraps, I decided to make cute tags for May Day. I like leaving May Day plants on doorsteps. Such a fun way to bring cheer! Thought these tags would make a fun, easy way to leave a note with the plant.

Materials
Stamps: Unity March KOTM
Paper: BG Green at Heart, CTMH cs
Other: Copics, CTMH inks and edge distresser, EK border punch, misc. ribbon, foam tape, CB Swiss Dot folder

It's here! It's finally here!!

FINALLY!! The "Glee" premier day has arrived! It seems like the wait has been FOREVER! I can't wait to see all the shenanigans the Mc Kinley High gang gets into this time. Bring on the singing, dancing happiness......and Sue's wacky comments! :D

Now, onto an actual card (Lol!):

Another Chanter card. Just colored her slightly different and used some more beautiful Kioshi paper. I must say that Chanter is my favorite of the Sweet November fairies. She just looks so sweet and innocent. She's fun to color too!

This "kinda" follows the Unscripted Sketch #50 I really love this green ribbon. Thanks Chrissy!

Alright fellow "Gleeks", hope you clear your schedules tonight! It's going to be terrific!!

Late Mojo


Nothing like a last-minute post to squeeze into a contest! I'm a GREAT procrastinator! Lol! So this is for the Mojo Monday sketch from last Monday. Fun little sketch. Great chance for me to use some of this beautiful ribbon my friend Chrissy sold me. So pretty!
Isn't this image cute?! It's from the March Unity KOTM. I needed to make a sympathy card for my good friend Josie's parents. Josie just lost fer grandfather this week, and I wanted to send her parents a card to let them know I'm thinking of them. I'll actually be seeing them all tonight at Josie's where she's going to be making us a fabulous dinner. I love having a chef as a friend!
Only 2 more days until Glee!!!

"Green" Ketto


I'm loving this new BG paper! I had a lot of fun coloring images to match it too. I need to seriously restock my backstock of birthday cards, so I'm afraid that's most of what you're going to see for a while.
This layout (semi) follows Mercy's sketch #67 from last week. After I assembled it, I realized that I did it a little wrong. Oh well, it's still cute! Only 4 days and a wake-up until GLEE comes back!!

Paper-BG Green at Heart, CTMH cs and dotted green dp

Simple but oh-so cute!


When I first flipped through my new Kioshi paper, I saw this sheet and I knew it would make a super simple, yet nicely elegant card. And!...I also knew that Chanter would be the perfect complement! Doesn't she just look so happy?! This follows the Sweet Sunday Sketch #63.
Still haven't found my Coluzzle knife, but Fiskars makes a swivel knife and it works perfect! Yay!
Only 5 more days until GLEE is back! AND!....Neil Patrick Harris as a special guest star?! Shut-up! I can hardly wait!

Happy Birthday Katie!!

....yesterday. Another birthday, another card. My friend Katie celebrated her 25th birthday yesterday. Good times of pizza and beer at our favorite hang out, The Rock. The spry little Dahlia was a perfect choice for Katie's birthday card. Katie is just as spunky and unique. Shoulda colored her with more reddish hair though since Katie's a redhead.

This layout follows this weeks Sketchy Saturday over at Club Anya & Friends. Good thing they allow spouts in their challenges now, since I tend to lean toward them more. Finally played with my new Basic Grey paper too. Love it!

So GLEE fans....did you watch the special Oprah show yesterday with the cast of "Glee"?! oh yeah, AWESOME! Only 6 more days!!

Stamps: TGF-Dahlia, CTMH-Fringed Phrases

***HAPPY BIRTHDAY SPARKLE!!***


It's my friend Sparkle's birthday TODAY, so make sure you stop by her blog and wish her a happy birthday! Of course I had to add "sparkle" to her card too. Hee hee! She'll most likely see this card here before she gets it in her mailbox today, but oh well. At least it will be on time. ;)
It has been sooooo long since I've had the time (and construction-free space) to play with my crafts. Oh, how I missed it so! I brought images to color over to Mom's for Easter yesterday and got quite a few colored. Today I will make them into cards. I'm sad though......I think I lost my Coluzzle knife somewhere on the way to CU because I've looked EVERYWHERE and can't find it. *sniff sniff* Now that Coluzzle is no longer, it's going to be a miracle to find a new knife.
Well, the good thing is that I'm back to blogging! Thank you for sticking around and waiting.
