Just a Note

Hello...

After many weeks of searching for my lost mojo, it has returned, albeit slowly.  

Thank goodness for this weeks' CAS(E) this Sketch sketch # 60, it's what finally got me going.  

Thank goodness also for the new pad of patterned paper I got from My Mind's Eye (Lost and Found 3) on sale at Winner's.  I love this wonderful bright pattern that is so perfect for a dull January day.

The sentiment sticker is from an old sheet of stickers that I've had for ages, manufacturer unknown.  Seemed to fit perfectly here.

Thanks for dropping by.  Hoping to visit here more often myself!  :)

Hello, hello, hello...

I love small cardmaking forums where you can get to know each other, chat, challenge and swap if you'd like to.  There was a wonderful group over at the CardMaker magazine site but that closed down last year.  That didn't stop the wonderful group over there.  They started a new group called ScrapZee.   

Last year they started a Birthday club where everyone sends a card on your birthday.  The most wonderful thing is getting a mailbox full of beautiful cards when it's your birthday.  During the summer, I fell off the list for a while and I've felt bad about it ever since.  So I made a bunch of 'Hello' cards to send out to the members whose birthday I missed.

 

Here are a few of them.  The Hello is from Hampton Art Stamps.

Happy Sunday.

Strictly Stripes

My wonderful friend Barb, spoiled me rotten this Christmas. In my Christmas parcel , she included some simply gorgeous Christmas papers from Pink Paislee and Melissa Frances. I couldn't wait to use them.

With Moxie Fab's latest Tuesday Trigger challenging us to use stripes, that's just what I did. Here's the Trigger:

And here is my card...

The striped paper is from Pink Paislee, the others are from Melissa Frances. Punched label is from Stampin' Up, bird sticker is from Martha Stewart and the sentiment sticker is from SRM.

These are my 'Hello...I didn't get my Christmas cards out in time' cards. Now that the rush is over, I still wanted to send a card to a few friends that I didn't get a chance to before Christmas. I think these will be perfect and hopefully I'll be forgiven!

Hope you have a wonderful evening...Ivanka
