It's a MOJO Day...

The sketch below was actually designed by my upline, Mary Fish.  She came up with a wonderful sketch...probably one of my favorites.  I know I will be using this layout again!

Sometimes I change up the sketch just a bit.  For this one I only changed one thing.  On the bottom, I put my brads on the right side of my card.

Click on over to the MOJO website and see what everyone is making and be sure to upload your card too.  It is always so much fun looking at what everyone creates. 

A friend of mine had to have surgery this past Monday.  I made this card with her mind.

I had so much fun last month I couldn't wait to participate again this month. I started quite a few different projects as I was not sure I liked the direction they were going. It hit me at 4:30 a.m. Monday morning on what I should make. I have always wanted to stamp on a birdhouse. What do you know, I had an unfinished wooden birdhouse in my craft closet. So the final project started...here is the finished product.

Paper:  Pretty In Pink, Melon Mambo, Wild Wasabi, Chocolate Chip

Ink:  Pacific Point, Always Artichoke, Melon Mambo, Pretty In Pink, Chocolate Chip (marker), Staz-On Timber Brown

Paint:  Delta White and Burnt Umber

Accessories:  Two-step bird XL punch, pearls, circle punch, CB swiss dots embossing folder, sea sponge (non-SU), spanish moss (non-SU), Mod Podge (non-SU)

The following pictures are showing more details on the sides and back.  I wanted to show the roof since I spent a lot of time on it and it was fun to do.  I ran the Chocolate chip cardstock through my cuttlebug and then punched out circles.  I added some paint to the roof to give it a worn look.

While cropping the pictures, I noticed the butterflies are larger than the birds.  Hmmm...guess these are baby birds coming out of their house.   Funny how I did not notice this while I was making it.

A back and side view.
