Mojo Monday #266

Welcome!!!  Have you ever woken up (grammar police, I will voluntarily turn myself in later) in the morning expecting to feel pretty blah, but then you don't?  Anyone with me here?  Well, I am in the best kind of crazy, happy mood!  Probably a bit because I am anticipating someone receiving a little something that I made them for a very special day!  ;) 

I ALSO made this same person a card with the sketch for this week's Mojo Monday!!!  Here it is--my entry for Mojo Monday #266...

I am so in love with this paper right now, but alas, it is a retired pack from CTMH.  Sigh.  The color combination is just beautiful though, and I added some solid Twilight Cardstock. I used my Art Philosophy Cartridge from Close to My Heart to cut the scallop and the circles.  The card is a standard size A2.

I used the sentiment "Hello friend" that I received as my prize for being a winner in Mojo Monday 257 a little while back.  It is in the Verve stamp set Hope Blooms.  I also used a snowflake theme Cuttlebug folder to emboss this background banner.  My Gelly Roll Clear Star pen added sparkle to all the raised parts of the paper after I sanded it.  LOVE.  I hope you can see it...

I also used my absolute favorite product that I carry for Close to My Heart called Shimmer Trim.  It is basically glitter on a roll with an adhesive back. I love the texture of it!

 This adorable snowflake is cut out with the Art Philosophy Cartridge as well.  I actually like the little bits of fuzzy paper left behind in the little tiny cuts.  It makes the flake look fluffy!  ;)

I FINALLY remembered to add some interest to the inside of my card as well!  Quite proud of that, lol.  I used Close to My Heart My Acrylix D1187 For All Occasions for the Happy Birthday sentiment inside.  I have cut apart several stamps lately, but not this time.  I just inked up one word at a time to stamp them on separate lines. 

Thanks for stopping in, and if you see Carisa, tell her not to read my blog until at least Saturday!  ;)
