Mojo Monday #55

This is what I put together for Mojo Monday #55 challenge.
SU's Upsy Daisy stamp set is so much fun! I love the dramatic effect. And that Urban Garden DP - the colors are so lovely.

A Flower for all Seasons Gift Set

Well, it was raining here on Saturday afternoon, or I think it was so off to my workshop I went. I just got this cute little stamp set and wanted to put it to good use right away. It's nothing fancy, just a fun little whimscal set that can go a long way.
I made this little set and will draw it at my next Mother/Daughter get together.

Mojo Monday #54

Well as you can probably tell, I am not a great photographer.
As vain as this will sound, this card is much prettier in 'person'.
I kid you not, I must take at least 7 shots of one card to get one acceptable one to post. So hopefully you all can still tell that I used the Bali Breeze paper with those fun build a brads which I am hoarding. And one of my favorite stamp sets is Happy Harmony which I used SU markers in a light green for the flower and darker green for the stem. If anyone out there has a good tip for picture taking, this may be a good time to leave me a comment.

Two, two challenges in one

This card consists of two challenges - one for a new color challenge blog I discovered that is super fun and lots of talented ladies participate which you can find here: http://colorthrowdown.blogspot.com/
The cards are unbelievable.

The other is a sketch challenge for the Card Positioning System #83 http://cardpositioningsystems.blogspot.com/

Our House is a very very very fine house

Just thought I would try to replicate our house with this stamp set,
beige house with burdundy shutters. With the exception of the cat,
I think I duplicated it quite well.

Sweet Smells of Fall!

What is it with this time of year to want to get back in the kitchen and cook something tasty and wholesome. I spent part of the morning yesterday making a batch of savoury spaghetti sauce (which I discovered doing in the Crock Pot makes it that much better). And with a basket full of ripe peaches on the counter, yes, you guessed it: Peach Crumb Pie. Oh yum! And the odors from my kitchen: PRICELESS!

Bonne Fete Maman

Hier c'etait l'anniversaire de ma mere Aurore. Elle aurait eu 86 ans! J'ai fabrique cette carte avec sa couleur favorite, le mauve. L'oiseau perche sur une branche, toute fragile, me fait penser a elle. Je t'aime Maman... je m'ennui beacoup.

Yesterday was my Mother Aurora's birthday. She would have been 86 years old. I tried to use one of her favorite colors, purple.
The bird perched on the branch, so fragile, makes me think of her.
I love and miss you very much, Maman.
