♥ love ♥ {MOJO383}

I can't believe Valentine's Day is right around the corner! Wasn't it just New Year's Day? I better get started on some Christmas cards because that will be here before I know it! Whew!! Here is a card I made for this week's Mojo Monday Sketch.

I used papers from Authentique's Crush line. The heart die cut is Simon Says Stamp's Large Heart Doily Die. I finished it up with some flowers and lots of White Opal Liquid Pearls. The stamped "love" is from the Simon Says Stamp Beautiful Words Clear Stamp Set.

Here is the fab MOJO383 Sketch!

Hope you all have a wonderful and fun weekend! :)

♥ Simon Says...Use Heather's Sketch! ♥

Woo-Hoo! We have reached the middle of the week! Weekend here we come! And that also means that it's time for a new challenge at the Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge Blog! This time we have a fabulous sketch by our own super talented (and sweet) Heather!

This week the Simon Says DT are showcasing products by Jane's Doodles and/or Authentique! I chose to use the Glistening 6x6 Paper Pad by Authentique. It has so many fun and pretty papers including that vintage image you see on my card.

I also used the Kate Snowflake Die an exclusive by Simon Says Stamp. LOVE this Die!! I also used the Frosty Sentiments Stamp Set by C.C. Designs. I finished it off with some White Opal Liquid Pearls and some White Glitter.

And don't forget, the super sweet and generous Heidi will give the random winner of this challenge a $50 Credit Voucher to the Simon Says Stamp Superstore! Good luck everyone!

Have a wonderful day!

Happy Halloween! Well, not sure if it's so happy for us yet! You see, I am writing this post on Saturday due to us getting Hurricane/Tropical Storm Sandy starting on Sunday. It is supposed to make landfall right on top of us and we are only 10 minutes from the ocean. If we have power on Tuesday, you won't see this post! I will re-write it, but if you see this right now, that means we have no power. So please pray for us! We have a generator but it will be used for refrigerators, lights, etc. The poor kiddies won't have a Halloween! But hopefully they will reschedule Trick-or-Treating for them and also reschedule the Halloween Parade our town has every year. It's the 2nd Largest Halloween Parade in the World! So hopefully, the storm won't be too bad. Please pray for all of us here in the Northeast and Mid-Atlantic States.

This week's challenge at the Simon Says Stamp Challenge Blog is all about Shaped Cards! No squares or rectangles. You can make cards in so many shapes! You can do circles, triangles, hexagons, snowflakes, a house, a stocking, etc, etc! Be creative and think outside the box!

For my card, I wanted to make something a little different. So I racked my brains for days and then one day, on my die cutting table, I had a scalloped circle laying next to a heart. And then, my Turkey was born! I first ran the largest die from the Spellbinders Large Scallop Circle Dies through my Cuttlebug with some Timeless paper by Bazzill and 2 more circles using some Kraft cardstock. Then add glue to the very top of the Kraft circle and adhere it to the back of the patterned paper circle to form a card base.

I then punched out several hearts using the Martha Stewart Heart Punch and some papers by Authentique from the Thankful 6x6 Paper Pad. Now adhere each heart individually to the back of the card to form the "feathers". When finished, adhere the other Kraft circle over the back of the card.

Now, add 2 hearts to the bottom inside of card, folding at the top to make 2 feet and another to the front of the card to act as a beak. The eyes are Prima Crystal Hearts. I added a Happy Thanksgiving stamped sentiment to the inside of the card using Lawn Fawn's Happy Everything Set.

And don't forget, Heidi will generously give the random winner of this challenge a $50 Credit Voucher to the Simon Says Stamp Superstore! Good luck everyone!

Have a wonderful day!
