Girls just wanna have fun & Give Thanks

It feels good to be back!!!  Missing MOJO is no longer a dilemma.  I was able to finish 2 cards this afternoon and evening....all while tending to our Sadie girl (our Yorkie) who went into labor and has given birth to a baby boy.  He looks just like Pablo (our Yorkiepoo).

The first card I finished was pulled together with the help of the following challenges:
  1. Flutter by Wednesdays - #170 - Open/AG
  2. Penny's Paper Craft - #61 Photo inspiration (beautiful photo by the way!!!)
  3. The Paper Shelter - #30 Embossing
  4. Crafts and Me - #51 Buttons and Bows
  5. Your Next Stamp - #50 Song Inspiration
  6. Emerald Faeries Garden - #8 Buttons
  7. Sweet Stamps - #31 Lace
  8. Die Cuttin' Divas - #31 Sketch
  9. Creative Craft Challenge - Just Charming
  10. Bearly Mine - #18 Flowers

RECIPE
Cream Color Card Stock (textured lines) 8 x 5.5
Core'dinations Aqua embossed card stock
Purple card stock embossed with damask folder by Darice
Sentiment by Whimsy Stamps/Raindrop Echo Designs (Fast Lane Sentiments)

Heart charm (below pink button)
Butterflies and flower (pulled off of old bobby pin hair pieces laying around the house)

The second card I was able to finish today was a Fall Theme card.  I love FALL.  The crisp breezes, the smell of the rustled leaves, and mmmmm Pumpkin Pie.   This card was pulled together with the help of the following challenges:
  1. Stamp Something - #AG - Final Challenge
  2. More Than Favors - Sketch
  3. Scrapalicious USA - Fall Theme
  4. CAS-ual Fridays - #19 Paper Piecing / Fall

RECIPE
Forest Green Card Stock 8 x 5.5
Autumn theme paper from Cloud 9 Harvest Holiday
Yellow textured dp by DCWV
Tree cut using Serenade Cart. at 3 3/4" (paper pieced using brown and yellow)
Background scallop cut using Serenade Cart. at 3 3/4"
Sentiment is by Basic Gray (Give Thanks)
Pumpkins are photo stickers from the dollar store (smallest one is paper pieced)
From Stash:
Leaf and rhinestones

It has been a truly blessed day and I feel very fortunate to be able to get back into the groove of crafting again.  Thanks for stopping by!!
