Mojo Monday Week #36 - Mojo Madness CONTEST

It's the first Monday in MAY, and that means it's time for another Mojo Madness Contest! To participate, just make a card using this sketch and leave a comment on this post with a link to your project by Sunday, May 11 at 8 PM Eastern. Once all the entries are in, I'll pick the TWO entries that I think are the mojo-est of them all. Those two winners will each receive their choice of ANY Verve stamp set! Sound like fun? Well, let's get started! If you upload your cards to SCS, please use keyword Mojo36 (no space between Mojo and 36) so we can see them in one place. As always, you can use any stamps or products your heart desires. If you're hoping to be crowned the mojoest of them all, remember to stay as true to the sketch as possible.

I've been working on some magnets in Soft Sky, Pretty in Pink, Groovy Guava and Mellow Moss lately. I really like the way all the magnets look together all lined up in a row, so I decided to combine the four colors on one card using the scraps on my desk. I pulled out my Serenity set, since that's what I've been using on the magnets and first stamped the solid smaller flower in Soft Sky and then stamped over the top with The Joy of the Lord is My Strength in Versafine Vintage Sepia. The rest of the card is pretty self-explanatory. It's made mostly from scraps of patterned paper. The moss is the solid side of some Tres Jolie paper by My Mind's Eye (cuttlebugged with the Swiss Dots folder), the Guava is the solid side of a piece of Blue Hill paper by Crate Paper, and the pretty in pink and soft sky scraps are from the Stampin' Up Prints packs. The flower is from the BRIDE'S collection at Michael's and it's finished off with some SU! chocolate taffeta and a glass pearl from Stamping Bella.

And to start your week off right, check out the fabulous entries for last week's challenge. These cards are hot stuff! ;)

Hi, Julee! Love your sketch! I had to switch the embellishment to the other side---I didn't want my fish to be facing away from each other! Hope this is okay; I know we are supposed to stay true to the sketch! I've uploaded my card to SCS Mojo36---thanks! Angela

Great Sketch Julie! Made me actually try to use Patterned Paper (I am pattern paper challenged!). I created two cards with the sketch, but I am not sure if the second one deviated too much frm the sketch...I will let you decide. Thanks for the challenge!
