and here is my card....I hope you like it :) I rotated the sketch because I like the upright look :)
 
Hope you get to craft today :)

mojo monday 315

Hello Crafty Friends!
    I really wanted to make a card with the beautiful reindeer that the new CTMH cricut cuts! So I cut some out and waited....tonight I was checking all my usual blogs and saw the mojo sketch and thought that would work perfect.
I used the beautiful frosted paper and the colour dye ribbon by CTMH that I sponged twilight ink onto. What do you think?? I love it :)
What do you think?

Atlantic Hearts Sketch # 25

Hello Crafty Friends!
    Wow I cant believe we are at sketch #25 already!! This sketch has so much versatility that I had a hard time deciding what element to choose! I have been making a lot of Christmas cards lately and thought I needed something else....So I chose to make a Halloween card! Check it out....
 
I used the laughing lola zip strip, bats are cut out on the cricut with the artbooking cartridge and some grey sparkles. What do you think?
 
Here is the layout from Atlantic Hearts Sketch

Thank you… now on to our hop!


If you have just hopped onto my blog, you can start here as this is a circular hop, or if you have come from Tamara Lisowski's blog here http://geermara.blogspot.com/2013/10/ctmh-october-blog-hop-giving-thanks.html then you are in the right place!

For my layout I really wanted to use the babycakes and show how it can be for more than just the themed baby layouts. I had the pictures from 2000 that I had so that's where I started. I looked on pintrest for layout inspiration and used the layout from Nicole Norris. I also used the circuit artbooking cartridge :) I think it needs more embellishments...what do you think?
