Just Because.... ........you are my friend, I'm thinking of you, your special, I love you.... this card could be used for a number of occasions.. I had a good time making it and it turned out really cute (if I do say so myself :) I have a special person in mind to send this to..

This image is a digi stamp from Sassy Cheryl colored with Copics... I am really loving the digis !! I must find more of these (anyone know any good sites?) the little butterfly is a die from Papertrey Ink , it's cut from wool felt, also from Papertrey Ink.. All the paper is scraps..

Well, I'm off to get a head start on my Halloween cards... we already have fall and Halloween items in at Michael's , yesterday we got in Christmas and... it's not over yet !!! Holy cow man !! ( honestly, just between you and me... I love it :)

Love the embossing.. wish you could see it better.. Oh, well, hope your having a good day.. thanks for stopping by... Jen

Happy Easter ...

Mojo Monday 129 on Friday... Holy Cow Man... I can't believe it's Friday already !! I finally got the Mojo card done and even did a couple more :) I just love it when I can come in my scrap room and go through all of my paper and stamps and all of the hundreds of other things I have in here... it's heaven (BIG SMILE) I have some very cute pictures of my grandson and his new dog, so I can't wait to get those scrapped !

All scraps of course, some clip art and I added some Copics.. and Stickles... The card says "When Irish Eyes are Smiling"

I'm done with the St. Patty's day cards and now on to Easter, I have a lot of stamps that are waiting to be inked !! Have a great weekend & thanks for stopping by..... Jen

Mojo Monday on Saturday !! I don't know what it was with this card, but it took me forever to make ! Maybe it's because it is round... who knows... I just really had a lot of trouble with this :(

I used some clip art and all leftovers from my stash... Now I am off to do a page of my grandson.. we went to the mountains last week and I got some really cute pics of him in the snow... so I guess I will see you later.. thanks for visiting and have a good day...

triumph.. is a little umph !!

Mojo 115 Wow... it feels so good to be crafting again (big smile) I made this Mojo Monday card today, and started my 25 day's of Christmas book. Pat, Cheryl and I did one last year and is was so much fun Pat and I decided to do one again this year.. and... I started decorating the house. I am having fun putting all of my decorations up in the new house. It is smaller so I am giving a lot of my stuff to my daughter-n-law ! I will post some pic's when I'm finished... Wish you could see the stickles, I used a ton ! This card just sparkles... Enjoy the rest of your week...Jen

Happy Tuesday :) Hope all of you are having a good day.. I got in the mood to make a few cards last night. I had to use stuff I had laying around since I have packed up almost everything (very sad face) I hate to leave my beautiful house but am looking forward to decorating a new one.. and no more stairs.. Woo Hoo!! Anyway here is one of the cards, I think it looks sort of vintagey (is that a word). I think I am going to invest in a light box and lights so I can take better pictures, so all of the bling will show up better :)

I used my new Spellbinders "Fancy Tags" and cut the ends off and found the pearls in my bag of odds and ends... I am working on some Halloween bags for the neighborhood kids so check back for those... enjoy your day... Jen

Mojo Monday 104.... Happy Monday... I've been finding a lot of stuff I forgot I had.. and some of my two son's baby things. They are 30 and 29 now and both fathers ( and it all happened in the blink of an eye ) I found Michael's "Curious George" and Jason's "Glow Worm" .. those were the thing's they had to have every night to get to sleep. I really miss those day's and those cute little boys ! Well, the packing is getting done, slowly, but it's getting done. I guess I will just be making cards for a while till we get moved, then back to the pages and all of the book's and other fun things.. Here is my take on the Mojo Monday card.....

I "love" the Debbie Mumm paper.. it just makes me smile :) Enjoy the rest of your day...Jen

Thanks to my mother, not a single cardboard box has

found it's way back into society.. We receive gift's in

boxes from stores that went out of

business twenty years ago...

Chucky Cheese...

This was Alyssa's official birthday party at

Chucky Cheese.. awful pizza, screaming kids,

creepy man in the mouse suit... but she loved

it !! Her friend Madison was there and they went

on every ride and tried to play the video games..

they are still to little.. but they thought they were

winning .. so cute :)

I will be looking for a new house this weekend,

so I will hopefully be back on Monday with a

Mojo card.. Have a "cool" weekend.. Jen

Boo & eek !!!

Holy Cow Man.. it was a hot one here today in Cali..

104 in the shade !! so I didn't do much packing, I turned

on the air and made a few Halloween cards just for fun..

I got the stamps in the dollar bin at Michaels..

I used scraps leftover from last year..

Sure hope it's cooler where you are.

It's supposed to be another scorcher here

tomorrow... 107 :{ No matter how rich you become,

How famous or powerful, when you die

the size of your funeral will still pretty

much depend on the weather...

Mojo Monday Sketch 1...

This was a fun card to make.. I inked the background

with a dragonfly stamp I've had forever..

I'm off to look at more houses and maybe get

Sketch 2 & 3 done.. Have a great day.. Jen

Thank You...

I can't believe how fast this week is going..

Thursday already !! I had some scraps leftover from

Alyssa's B'day pages so I decided to make a

few thank you cards, it seems like you can never

have enough of those... I had

a little assembly line going

and got them made super fast...

I used some stamps, (can't remember the brand ) vintage buttons,

ribbon and twine.. gotta love the twine.. a finishing touch :)

I'm going to work on a new project

I started last weekend... it's soooo cute..

guess you'll have to check back to see what it is..

Enjoy the rest of your day... Jen

Ah, summer.. what power you have to make us suffer.. and like it !

Altered Composition Book...

I found Comp books at Wal-mart for 50 cents each..

so I bought a few of them to have on hand.. I write down

everything, ideas, shopping lists, songs I've heard that I

want to put on my ipod, recipes.. well, you know stuff like

that..

I am really into these paper flowers, thanks to

donnasalazar.typepad.com

you can spray them or ink them any color,

so they will match whatever

you are doing..and so easy to make..

I just bought a old book for a dollar at the

thrift store, it was cheap so I don't feel so bad

tearing a page out :) I'm hoping it will be cooler today,

it was 103 yesterday, to stinkin" hot !! I'll be back

tomorrow with a few cards.. ttfn... Jen

Friend's are those rare people who ask you how you are..
