Thank You...

Thank YOU, readers, for being patient with me while I dawdled in my posting! I'm so sorry it's been a month. Eek! Lots has happened... I ran my 10K (6.2 miles) in 1 hour, 1 minute, 36 seconds (a 9:55 pace for those interested). This was well faster than my goal time of 1 hour 10 minutes! I also ran the Twin Cities Komen Race for the Cure on Mother's Day. I raised over $500 for Race for the Cure, so had to make some Thank You cards for the generous people who donated. Here's what I came up with:

Race for the Cure Thank You
Stamp Sets: Season of Friendship, Three Little Words
Cardstock: Pink Pirouette, Certainly Celery, Very Vanilla
Designer Series Paper: Candy Lane
Stamp Pads (Classic): Chocolate Chip, Certainly Celery, Pink Pirouette
Accessories/Tools: Big Shot, Top Note, Scallop Oval, Large Oval, Horizontal Slot, Certainly Celery ribbon from SAB bundles

It turned out just perfect, I think! I wanted something springy and pink (since it was the Race for the Cure). The crabapple trees are just blooming now in St Paul, so I thought these kinda look like them. I also LOVE this layout. I'm sure I saw it somewhere on SCS, but who knows where.... I spend hours browsing cards on there. :)

Thanks for looking! I promise not to to take so long before the next post. :)

More Mojo fun

I just must post more of my Mojo creations. I'm finding that I just love their layouts (for the most part... I skip any that require me to cut a big circle, as I've not any tools to do so!) and create awesome cards when I don't have to think about where to put stuff! I have nothing but a run at the gym planned for this lazy Sunday, so I hope to work through a few more.

Mojo 73
Stamp Sets: Cheep Talk, Trendy Trees
Cardstock: Pacific Point, Whisper White, So Saffron
DSP: Good Morning Sunshine
Stamp Pads (Classic): Chocolate Chip, Kiwi Kiss, Pacific Point
Accessories/Tools: Scallop edge punch, Kiwi Kiss Satin Ribbon, Kiwi Kiss Corduroy Button, Blender Pen

My first time using my new fave set! (Cheep Talk). I know the many discussions out out there about "all the birds" in the new catalog, but I LOVE them. Birds are very hip and in now, and I think nothing says SPRING like a cute bird.

Mojo 72
Stamp Sets: Three Little Words, Best Yet (hostess fall 2008)
Cardstock: Cameo Coral, Rose Red, Whisper White
DSP: Raspberry Tart
Stamp Pads (Classic): Pink Pirouette, Rose Red
Accessories/Tools: Scallop edge punch, Scallop Circle Punch, 1 1/4" Circle Punch, Kiwi Kiss Satin Ribbon, Kiwi Kiss Button Bouquet

How can you NOT love this Raspberry Tart paper? There isn't a design in it that I don't like, and I'm on my 2nd package of it already!! So bright and cheery... just what a Minnesotan needs in February (after a snow storm, yuck!)

Thanks for looking! I will post more Mojo creations (and upcoming classes/workshops) soon!
