Mojo Monday #203

I made a card for this challenge...and then forgot to post it in my excitement over beads.  I love Mojo Monday challenges.  There is usually some element that throws me a bit, and this time was no exception.  It was the ribbon across the top corner.  I think i did it and re-did it about 15 times before i was satisfied with it.  The pearl centers for the flowers was an afterthought...still not sure how I feel about them.
And here is my take on this week's challenge.

Cardstock: Vintage Cream (PTI), Pink (C'ordinations), Black (Bazzill Basics)
Patterned Paper: It's the Little Things (Fancy Pants)
Ink: Tuxedo Black (Tsukineko), Pixie Dust (Versa Magic), Aloe Vera (Versa Magic)
Stamps: Daydreaming Set (PTI), Sentiment (A Muse)
Embellishments:  Ribbon (Michael's),  Pearls (Basic Grey)

A Change of Pace...

I've always got a project on the go ...ever since I can remember.  I love paper, beads, fabric...paints, charcoals..and there's surely something out there yet that I've not yet discovered and will LOVE.  This post isn't cards or paper...its BEADS!  Yesterday I discovered crocheting wire with beads into beautiful necklaces.  I love making them!  So without further ado....here for your viewing pleasure:  The necklaces.

Mojo Monday #202

It's been a bit busy around here, but I've finally found some time to spend in my crafting corner.  I thought this week's Mojo Monday was quite a challenge for me.  It must have been the triangle elements that were throwing me off...I managed to put mine opposite to the sketch!
