New to Mid Week Mojo? Get started here!

Graphic 45 Olde Curiosity Shoppe Collection  the perfect color palette for any project. Olde Curiosity Shoppe is like stepping into lavish party, during the Victorian era, where imagination is the guest of honor. Our fabulous guest designer, Marisa Torp brings imagination to life using this collection with her hot air balloon photos.

Let me start by saying I am beyond thrilled to be a guest sketcher. I have been around Scrapbook Steals since before they hit 3,000 fans on the Facebook page. When I was asked to be a guest, I think I had a small heart attacked and then quickly said yes!!

I started scrapbooking a little more than two years ago with the First Mojo sketch, I was just setting out to make pretty pages to keep the memories of my family. It has turned into an obsession, and I love it every day.

Marisa Sketch Peridot 3 Mid Week Mojo

The papers for this collection were dark, so I decided to pull out a few pictures that were very vivid. I think the color offset the collection very well.

I really liked the “B” sides of the papers. I did a little fussy cutting with my craft knife and used the paisley as an embellishment.  I  added a little bit of twine to the title and the balloon brighten it up just that little bit more.

I couldn’t figure out how to incorporate the flying pigs from the collection, but they are super fun and I can’t wait to get them on a different layout.

Bo Bunny Welcome Home | Mid Week Mojo Peridot #2

Melodee Card, Challenge, Layout, Mid Week Mojo Comments

Peridot – Week 2 of 10
New to Mid Week Mojo?  Get started here!  

Bo Bunny’s Welcome Home Collection is the perfect collection for all kinds of projects!  It was ideal for this week’s Mid Week Mojo and the photos of Erin Shultz’s new baby Alexa.  When I saw the photos of little Alexa, I just knew this collection would be the best way to say “Welcome Home.”  Here is my layout:

Here is the sketch:

I love this collection and how neutral it can be.  The earthy colors with splashes of blue can compliment any project.  The layered chipboard pieces are an easy way to add dimension.

 There are tons of embellishments in this kit in addition to the layered chipboard.  The layered stickers, chipboard stickers, buttons, jewels, cardstock stickers, brads, and metal trinkets are great for adding to any project.

With this collection I couldn’t resist creating a couple of cards.  I took the base of the sketch with the strips of paper as the background and made these two cards.

Now I have a couple of hand  made cards around in case I need to send a little note to someone.  I love that!

American Crafts Stamps and Memory Marker | Mid Week Mojo Amber #10

Melodee Blog Giveaway, Layout, Mid Week Mojo, Sketch, Stamping Comments

Amber – Week 10 of 10
New to Mid Week Mojo?  Get started here!  

American Crafts Stamps and Memory Markers are some of the best around. Now, I love stamps and stampers but I am not one. I used to be a stamper but that was years ago and I am definitely out of practice! I took on this week as a challenge and I am pretty happy with the results.

Stamps are so versatile and can be used in many different ways. I ended up using them mostly to make die cuts.  Here is my layout:

Here is the sketch:

A simple sketch, but you can add many layers.  I used the banner stamps for my title, and colored in the outline with the Memory Markers.

 I love to layer items to create dimension.  I used the grid stamp as a sort of a background and layered die cuts on top.

Here is where I cut out the stamp images into little die cuts.  I also just added some chevrons to add a little on the background.
