And the final creation of the night for the stampin 411 sketch challenge.... I used the make a monster set and inked the ribbon to make it blue....

MOJO 157

Here is my mojo for the week, something a little different this time....

All in the family

Here are tonights creations, both birthday cards for friends... hopefully they do not look at my blog!

The first one is for one of hairdressing tutors at work (Fiona), it's her 40th Birthday tomorrow so I made this card with a big 40 inside and the people on the front are my hair and beauty tutors and me of course!



and lastly a birthday card for my friend Michelle who is celebrating her 40th on Saturday night. There is a bit of a story to this card and anyone who knows me will surely LOL at this card (You had to be there!)....

I seem to know a few people turing 40 and am so glad I am still 39! Scary!!!!!

It's always good to start the week with a mojo sketch!

Brayered sky

I thought I'd try the brayer technique again, unfortunately I am still not very good and can't work out where I am going wrong....

Check out Michelle Zindorf's site on the my blog list, she is amazing! The holiday greeting card is her design, I didn't really do it justice though.

So after trying one of Michelle's I tried four of my own creations.....

I wish she would come to New Zealand to run some classes!

Quick and easy thank you cards

Here are a few very quick and easy thank you cards...

Mickey & Minney Mouse

Here is a sweet little card made using the cuttlebug cut and emboss dies, Mickey and Minnie Mouse...

Watercolours

I thought I'd make a couple more cards tonight, however nothing went right and the only one I am really happy with is the last one on this post.

Motorbike card

Another request from a lady at work has kept me very busy tonight, I had no idea how I could make a moterbike birthday card.... but this is what I ended up with.

Unlike the penguins in my previous post, I only had to try this once.

Little hellos

This is a set of eight I got via trademe recently, I'm not sure that I will be keeping it though so I have made a couple of cards with it in the meantime...
