Mojo Monday (but a little late!)

So I was a little late with the card below.  It is actually for the Mojo Monday challenge from last week.  I still thought I would share it with you though!!!  I'll try and be better about doing these challenges on time (LOL!).

Are you wondering where the dark brown wood grain paper is from?  It's a Stampin' Up! product believe it or not!  As a demonstrator, I am very lucky to get a chance to pre-order products from catalogues in advance of their release.   The new Holiday Catalogue will be going live on August 1, 2012 (mark your calendars!).  Now this is actually a textured impressions embossing folder for your Big Shot!  It screams owl card to me and I will try and create one at some point.  But this is just one of the many fabulous items that you can get come August 1st!  Remember, the Holiday Catalogue items are only available until the end of December 2012, so be sure to get your favourites asap!

The other items used in this card are:

*Crumb cake card stock (120953)

*Early espresso card stock (119686)

Primrose petals card stock (126841)

*Whisper white card stock (100730)

*Birds of a feather DSP (126899)

*Flock together stamp set (W126730 / C126732)

*Lovely little labels stamp set (W126260 / C126262)

*Rhinestone basic jewels (119246)

*retired ribbon

Hope everyone is having a great week!

Blank card

Well, it's been very hot here in Ottawa this weekend, so I took the time to do some stamping!  I thought this gave me the perfect opportunity to get some cards made in advance in case life gets too busy in the next few weeks!  I went over some of the old sketches at some of my favourite sites (Clean & Simple, Mojo Monday, Sunday Stamps, etc).   Unfortunately, my memory has failed me and I can't remember where I got the sketch below from - must be the heat!

The products I used for this card are as follows:

*Daffodil delight card stock (119683)

*Floral district DSP (126919)

*Baja breeze card stock (for the 3" circle) (111352)

*Whisper white card stock (100730)

*Rich razzleberry card stock (115316)
