Here is my Mojo Monday sketch challenge on what I have renamed Tojo Tuesday...Lately I have had other things going on on Monday evenings, but summer is  coming and that should change. I will be working on this card tonight. Check back for my version. I found a card the other day that the colors that really inspired me. Here is a picture of that card:

Congratulations Grad Gift

We have several grads to "Congradulate" this year. I made this gift for them, instead of a card, and I plan on placing money in the back along with a small note. The cellophane bag measures 2"x8" and is resealable. Each scallop is attached to a mini peppermint patty. At the top, I used the Modern Label Punch and adhered it with SNAIL adhesive.

Mojo 241 on Tuesday...

I'm only a day behind...Mojo Monday on a Tuesday. Tojo Tuesday then? When I saw the sketch, the stamp from Besty's Blossoms came to mind for the center circle. The stamp set also had the flower and leaf elements. 

These items used in this card are a sneak peak from the Stampin Up catalog coming out June 1st. 


I used two embossing folders to add lots of texture and the smaller flower and leaves are hand cut.



Added the rhinestone for sparkle.
