My First Mojo Monday Challenge
I have been checking this blog out for months now and finally decided that tonight I will meet the challenge.
Each Monday a new sketch is added to the blog; the challenge is to use the sketch to create your own "masterpiece".
I, of course, playing with the new Stampin' Up! My Digital Studio, first created my "masterpiece" on the computer and then went to my craft room and created the card with real cardstock.
I used all Stampin' Up! products with this card
- Mellow Moss card base
- Really Rust cardstock and DSP from the Patterns Pack III (available as a Level 1 Hostess Benefits)
- Mellow Moss 1/4" grosgrain ribbon
- Thoughts & Prayers stamp set
- Large oval and scallop oval punch
- Basic Black ink
- Stampin' Dimensionals

Thanksgiving Treats
I love giving gifts to my guests around Thanksgiving.
I wanted to create a classy party favor. I created the flower using SU Scallop Circle punch. The flower actually takes nearly 30 minutes to create, but I did them while watching TV. I was inspired from by a YouTube Video.
I used the Stampin' Up! 2009 Sale-A-Bration stamp set Yummy.
I love SU DSP and find it hard to use...some papers are just too pretty to use. However, I think the oohs and aahs from the recipients will be worth it.
