I Am a Water Bender

Ever see Avatar, not the movie with the blue people but the kid's cartoon turned movie?  If you haven't, the story is about kids who can control earth elements.  Today, although I can't control it, I am definitely fighting my arch enemy Dr. Leak.  There is a dark cloud over my home (literally) and all is not peaceful.  I discovered a leak in my new kitchen cabinets that is coming from the upstairs bathroom.  Part of the cabinet is coming down tomorrow to see what can be done about that.   I try to catch up on my chores and Whap! Whammo!  Another leak under my dryer.  I am trying to use all my powers to send the water back to where it came but I am fighting a losing battle so I decided to drown my troubles in my scrap room for now ...

This card is comprised of a couple of challenges, other than the ones I face on a daily basis!

Paper - KaiserCrafts new Bubblegum Hills collection

Stamp - Studio G (a michael's 99center)

Ribbon - Making Memories

I used the following challenges as my inspiration:

On to conquer more drippy demons!

I Need Me Mojo ...


I'm trying to get back into my 'room' more often so I searching all my favorite challenge blogs to get some inspiration.  This week I'm using the sketch from Mojo Monday and the stying of Etsy Inspired, 


Here's the Mojo sketch ...

Here's my inspiration from Etsy Inspired:

So ... drumroll.... here's my combo ...

I used the houndstooth pattern from the new Couture paper pack from DCWV.  The flower and tag is from an old Making Memories set.  I used my Scor Pal to crease the flowers for texture.  Fun! Fun! Fun! 

Feels so good to spend a little time in my 'room'!!  

I fell in love with the color combo at Embellish Magazine blog this week.  The colors were so subtle but so spring!  I didn't have to dig too deep in my stash to find the colors to match ... I also got my Mojo on too!









How'd I do?

I used Bazzill Cardstock and K & Co pattern paper.  The image is from Crafty Secrets.  Love it!  I used ribbon from May Arts with a metal charm from Maya, an oldie but a goody! I've been into crinkling my paper lately so I just kinda pleated the paper and it turned out great!  I popped it on the bottom for 'effect'!!  I used a Martha punch on the bottom too!!!  Hope you like it!

Gettin' My Mojo

You guys know I love a good challenge!  I try to keep up with them but it is so hard and there are so many fun ones out there!  I was able to complete one today for Mojo Monday!  Yeah me!  Plus I also used some paper I've been hiding, nay, hoarding, for QUITE a while!  Actually it is an old SEI pack ... remember them?  They had tons of stuff on the market, then went to paper packs and have been kinda quiet for a while ... SEI are you out there?  Can you hear me now?  I miss you SEI with your coordinating paper and buttons and ribbons ... and those cute albums ... but it felt good dusting off the tablet and using a few of the sheets.  I actually made the rabbit for another project and wasn't sure the purple was right so I had to use it somewhere; it's from the Give a Hoot cart then I flocked the top layer - super fuzzy!  I used a dusty ol' Matha punch, Iron Gate maybe, for the border.  It's not an exact match for the sketch because the bunny was bigger than I hoped but it's an interpretation so  I'm going to give this one to my mom for her secret pal card for Easter ...
