MOJO Birthday Wishes…
Apr 9th, 2008 by Jen
I think that I have expressed in the past how much I love Julee’s Mojo Monday sketches. If you missed me saying that before, let me tell ya…I LOVE ‘EM!! This week being no exception. I took a couple artistic liberties to make this card exactly how I wanted it, but for the most part it is the sketch from this week. I love how the top panel drops past the panels below it. It rarely occurs to me to do that, especially at the bottom of the card. I think that I have also mentioned that I love to pair my Bellas up with the sketches. As you can see, I did it again. The sentiment is from PaperTrey and the red panel is run through the Cuttlebug with the Swiss Dots folder. As for the coloring, I used Copics and then highlighted with my Sakura Stardust pen, which I like more than my Spica because I can actually get the “ink” to come out. I spread the shimmer all over, and dulled the glittery lines by using an Aqua-Painter.
Today Ellie and I are off to story time at the library. We went for the first time last week and she loved it! It was music week last week. They sang songs, read a book, played instruments and even made a little kazoo from a toilet paper tube, wax paper and a rubber band. Hopefully I won’t need Tylenol after story time today. You can only image what 18 kids under the age of 5 with instruments sound like. Ellie had the cymbals and thought they were GREAT…imagine that! As much fun as that was, I am hoping for little less BANG in story time today. LOL! Have a great day!
this is waaaayyy cute Jen - I absolutely love it! I think I need that image!!!!
This is fantastic Jen! I just love it when Bella gets her mojo on! The scallop edges and ribbon are such a fabulous touch. Thanks for playing!
Oh she is just perfect! I’ve been really neglecting my bellas so I think you have inspired me to pull them out and get crafty! xoxo
I LOVE this card!! I just might have to CASE this. Gorgeous!!
This is darling! Beautiful coloring…
Super cute card Jen! I love the color combo and your coloring is FAB!!!
Jenn, this is just so adorable!! I love all your cards, and visit your blog on a daily basis. I wanted you to know that I have the same problem with the Spica pen, I thought it was just me not “using” or “holding” it right!
So, my Sakura Stardust pen gets the most use, too! lol
Jen,
She’s too cute. Great card..

Hi Jen,
Love this card. I finally placed my order with MFT and Papertrey today. I spent way too much money. I went to the Stampin Up Catalog to find blank cards but did not see any. I like this card that you used in this project. I am sure it is just a basic white card but I cannot find it anywhere. I know you emailed me about my questions on the cards last week but you mentioned it was just a white cardstock layer. Any help I can get will be greatly appreciated. You can email me back
and Thanks for all of your help.
