Mojo Monday Sketch 122

I'm giving you a sneak peak of the February Stamp of the Month! It's all about cakes in February -- couldn't be sweeter! (Sorry, I couldn't resist.) For more artwork featuring this stamp set, please check back on Feb. 1 for the monthly blog hop!

For this card, I used the Topstitch paper packet. The cake is heat embossed on chocolate cardstock using white embossing powder.

Mojo Monday Sketch 121

These days, I'm operating on the "better late than never" principle! It seems like there is so much going on that things like crafting get set aside. After a long week, though, there is nothing like making something beautiful to soothe the soul.

I love this sketch! (I say that every time, don't I?!) Instead of making the card front one piece, I made it a flap to lift to see the inside. The paper is called "Caboodle" and seemed to say "baby boy card."

Other items I used:

• D1266 - Baby Steps
• D1187 - For Every Occasion
• C1338 - Just for Boys
• Z1123 - Sorbet Ribbon Rounds collection
• X7121B - Caboodle Level 2 Paper Packet

Felicity Layout

I am having such a great time using the papers from Felicity! It's great to have papers that can have a very masculine look or a feminine look. I came across this picture of my oldest son, Michael, from when he was in preschool, and the argyle papers said, "Use me!" :) I chose a layout from "Imagine," and away we went. The Twilight courderoy brads worked so well with the layout -- I'm really tickled with how it turned out! All the stamp images used on the layout are from the set that comes with the Felicity package, even the alphabet!

We're having some change at our house: my two oldest children are moving out. When my daughter found an apartment, I knew exactly what I would do with her room -- make it my scrapbook room! So I'll be busy this week, moving all my stuff (and it's a lot 'o stuff!) from the dungeon (aka the basement) to my bright and shiny new room! Once I get moved, though, the first paper I'm reaching for is this lovely Felicity collection. I can't get enough of this paper!
