Mojo Monday was great inspiration for this card. I'm going to be giving it to my husband for Christmas. Inside is going to read:

Don't walk behind me, I may not lead. Don't walk in front of me, I may not follow. Walk beside me and hold my hand. ~Albert Camus

I loved you yesterday. I love you today. And I'll always love you.

Papercraft Star Challenge #16 (http://papercraftstar.blogspot.com/)







This one goes out to my Dad.....his birthday is October 6th! I strayed a little from the sketch design with the placement and shape of the sentiment, but think this card turned out great!

Papercraft Star Challenge #15 is based on one of the seven natural wonders of the world.

Grand Canyon
The Great Barrier Reef
The Harbor at Rio de Janeiro
Mt. Everest
Northern Lights
Paricutin Volcano
Victoria Falls

Choose one, and base your card or layout on your interpretation of this incredible wonder of our earth. This is one unusual challenge, and should generate some very interesting ideas !!




I love the outdoors. I went hiking a couple years ago with some girlfriends over in the Duluth, Minnesota area. Breath-taking is all I have to say. This stamp set "Beautiful Things" from Close To My Heart was a must have for me and instantly came to my mind for this challenge. :) Have a BEAUTIFUL DAY!

MOJO Sketch 158

I went round, because I've never done round before. Wanted to use my Close To My Heart 'Creepy Cobweb' stamp set and thought circles were definitely the way to go! I love how this card turned out. My husband even gave me the "Well Done" look with this card! :)

Thank you for the great inspiration!
