MOJO 300

Climbed way back in my stash for this one. But here in Texas we've had a bit of a cool front come in and it put me in the fall mood. Of course those of you who know me, know FALL is my favorite season!

I haven't used this Stampin' Up! set in a long time so I thought Spooktacular Greetings would make a fun card. The dsps as I said came from my scrap stash and I can't remember but I think they are from MME.

I just want to say congratulations to VERVE on their 300th MOJO MONDAY!

Be sure and check out the blog, there's some SWAG to be won!!!

Mojo done gone

Most of the folks who come here are looking at cards. But since my bad is hatin' on me, I haven't been very creative. But I've been perusing other blogs and trolling at Pinterest. Ha. I've seen so many things I want to try when I can get back to my workspace. I've found a few terrific recipes that I can sit at the table in my kitchen to prepare and right now I am going to share a simple one dish meal that will feed a family of four!

Taco Dogs

1 8 pk. of your favorite franks
8 corn tortillas
1 can Hormel chili ( beans or no beans, it's up to you)
1 can green giant whole kernel corn (drained)
1 1/2 cups grated cheese (cheddar/jack blend)


Roll each frank in a corn tortilla. Place flap down into a 9x13 baking dish you've sprayed with Pam.
Pour corn over tortillas. Pour chili on top. Sprinkle with cheese. Cover and bake.

350 for 30 minutes. Remove foil and raise the oven temp. to 400 and bake uncovered for additional 15 minutes or until cheese is golden.

Serve with a side salad, guacamole and sour cream.



Ok, hope you will try this recipe and if you do, you will enjoy it!

*********************************************************************************
I hope you all are being very creative and enjoying a beautiful Sunday afternoon. Have a terrific week. Monday and Thursday take me back into physical therapy. Then the following week another Monday and Thursday session. Then I'll be evaluated and either more therapy scheduled or discharge. I'm doing pretty good, no pains meds. not even Tylenol in a couple weeks except before going to p.t. Yay me!

Ok, mojo, I'm gunnin' for you!

MOJO281

MOJO MONDAY @ Verve #281 - I chose some very festive colors and dsp for my card today. Loved the colors in the dsp so I ran with them on my cupcakes and sentiment. I'm quite pleased with the way it turned out. I also spotted Libby Hickson's blog where she used a stick pin through the thread on her button so, Libbykins, I borrowed your idea.

Hope you all are warm, safe and having a very happy and color filled day!

MOJO256

MOJO MONDAY #256. I'm not a big fan of round cards. Well let me rephrase that, I am not a fan of MAKING round cards. I don't normally have much success. I've seen round cards make by other cardmakers and I drool over them. But for me the process isn't usually much fun. You see I don't make great circles. But this die I used was perfect and I love the way this card turned out. Hope the peeps at Verve are impressed enough to give me a nod. :O)

Imagine Happiness

It's another MOJO MONDAY Challenge #226. My friend Deb and I went over to our other friend Ann's house today to do a Stampin' Up! card class. When we got back to my house, Deb and I started playing with a decorative paper pack she had purchased recently. I loved all the greens and a couple of the papers were nothing but glittery butterflies. YIPPEE! So with a few products from Stampin' Up! I was able to throw together this design. For the embossing and die cutting I chose the NEW Textured Impressions Embossing Folders - Adorning Accents and the Edgelits Dies Adorning Accents. I've used Stampin' Up! cardstock too! The craft cut two matching butterflies and with Crystal Effects I adhered one body to the other. Then I folded up the wings to make it look like it just landed. I added Crystal Effects to the wings too add a little dimension. The sentiment is 2 stamps from the Loving Thoughts set. I punched two little hearts and tied some yellow and white dotted organza ribbon into the hole of my tag and called it done.

This is the LAST WEEK of my KIT OFFER. I have a few spots left, so if you are interested please contact me as soon as possible. These will be ordered on the 4th. Then I will close the KIT OFFER.

true friend - MOJO189

If you saw my card entry for MOJO188 you're probably thinking they are quite similar. Well, you'd be right in that vein of thought. However, I didn't realize it myself until just when I went to upload it to my blog. I used some of the same papers and cardstock. But this is a brand new card using MOJO MONDAY sketch challenge #189. This was so much fun for me. I love the Stampin' Up! stamps I used which come in the Bliss set (from the Sale A Brations catalog) and the sentiment is from the Perfect Punches set #120516. They were stamped in Night of NavyI punched the border with the Stampin' Up! Eyelet Border punch #119853. The white matte with the words and swirlies is stamped with the Vintage Vogue jumbo wheel #117693 in Marina Mist ink. Cardstock used: Marina Mist and Certainly Celery. The punches I used: 1 3/4" Scalloped Circle #119854 & Oval Lg. #119855 (1 3/4" x 7/8"). The little key is one of the charms from Trinket Keys #121892.

Love - MOJO174

Love - Verve's Mojo Monday Challenge #174. I stamped my Stampin' Up! Wings of Friendship bird in clear Versa Mark and heat embossed with clear embossing powder. Then I brayered over first with Rose Romance, then Real Red and finally with Cherry Cobbler. Then I used my largest Nestie scalloped oval and cut the image, after which I daubed around the edges with Cherry Cobbler. I used the Stampin' Up! Elegant Bouquet embossing folder to emboss and then I cut it using my Top Notes die. I added ribbons, glitter stickers and rhinestones for some added pizzazz!

HOWDY! - LTXTS & MOJO172

Howdy from the Heart of Texas!
For my card I used stamps from Deabeat Designs & Texana Designs. I stamped my bluebonette in Night of Navy and colored with my Stampin' Up! markers in Brilliant Blue, Marina Mist, Tempting Torquoise and Daffodil Delight. I had some chipboard hearts lying around so I added them as per the MOJO172 sketch design.
This is my card for Trail Boss Libby's Texas - Tues - Step. We create something Texas related on every 1st and 3rd Tuesday of each month. Please visit the rest of the Posse member's blogs to see what beautiful Texas-y something or t'other they have created for your eyes to gander. Remember to leave some love!

Rudolph - MOJO169 & SSCCCCA60

Rudolph is wishing my postman and his family all the Joys of Christmas. I used some stashed Christmas dps and a LOC stamp along with some rub-ons to create my card. James the postman will love this one!!! The dps were from a CupCardsToGo kit. The cardstock is Stampin' Up! Certainly Celery and Chocolate Chip. The ink is also Stampin' Up! Chocolate Chip. I used the MOJO sketch and Stacey's color combination of Real Red, Old Olive, Certainly Celery, and Chocolate Chip. Luckily for me the dp has Real Red and Old Olive in it.

Season's Greetings - for Cinema Saturday #100 & MOJO MONDAY#164. The movie is Pride & Prejudice. Although my card doesn't reflect the movie very much I did you a lacey stencil to create my dp. I also used the Victorian embossing folder for the backdrop for my image. I used as many Stampin' Up! products as I could get my hands on that related to the challenges.

friend - MOJO128 - using SoftPencil Prize

Got my MOJO working about 1 a.m. this morning. I was up rather late last night. Nerves I guess, today I am having a needle biopsy on my right thyroid. Freakin' the heck out. Although my doc says, most of the time these cysts are NOT cancer. It's just a scarey thing is all. Hubs, Mike will be there to hold my hand though. :O)
Anyhoo, as I said in the opening, this little Japanese Girl is from SoftPencil Digis (she was part of my prize package. I won a $10.00 gift voucher to the store and I just had to have her!) Thanks Again Elizabeth. This card was created using Julee's sketch at MOJO MONDAY #128. I think I incorporated the sketch layout in both the top and lower portions of my easle card. The other Asian stamps are from a set I purchased a while back from Pink Cat Studios (they offer both digital and rubber stamps). There are some lovely images in this set and I have hoarded them long enough. :O) The card stock is from Basic Grey's Lime Rickey paper pad. The green cardstock is Bazzill weave texture.
Here's a closer look at the lower portion of the card where I actually used the pattern cardstock and the Bazzill to create the layout.
