Christmas Advent Calendar
Today I’d like to share an advent calendar I made for my son. This baby is a substantial size… about 11″ x 11″. It was created from a Lori Whitlock file available on the Silhouette online store. And while there were a couple curses muttered under my breath during the construction of the frame, […]
Autumn Harvest Challenge at PPPR
Today is the last day of the Autumn Harvest challenge over at Pretty Paper, Pretty Ribbons. I seem to work well under pressure! Just kidding… these have been ready to go for a couple of days but I almost forgot to post them!!! For my project, I made place cards using PPPR’s Thanksgiving Wear Cutting Files. The set […]
A Deconstructed Halloween
If you’ve read my blog for any length of time (like, the last 30 days) you would know that my BFF and I are big fans of the card sketches at DeconstructingJen.com and use her archive to pick sketches we like. Then we each whip up a card for whatever occasion we have a need for. […]
Are You Out of Your Gourd?
Hope you’re not tired of Halloween cards cause I have a few more up my sleeve! This one is perfect for a friend who has somehow talked me into a Cross Fit class. Maybe I’m the one out of my gourd because I actually agreed 😉 The image is another of Elizabeth Dulemba’s coloring […]
Steampunk Halloween Card
Back for a 2nd post today… whoo hoo! Just wanted to share the steampunk card I made for my son for Halloween. He’s been on a steampunk / industrial kick for a few months so I thought he’d totally appreciate the style of this card: The steampunk ghost and ghost hunter / explorer are […]
Happy Halloween!
Today I have a 3D project to share… a spooky little something I made for my son: The cut file is a freebie from Bird at Bird’s Cards, and was cut on my Silhouette. The file was a breeze to work with and assemble. I really wanted to fill the eye cavities with small, black rhinestones, […]
Karate Master
I whipped up a quick card today… it was so nice to get back to crafty fun after last week’s busy schedule. It took more time to glue this card together than it did to get all the pieces ready! The adorable spiderweb image comes from TiffanyDoodles and the hysterical sentiment is one of my […]
Tickle your funny bone
I was just playing around tonight with some Halloween digital stamps and this card came together really quickly: The skeleton is a coloring page from Elizabeth Dulemba subtly shaded with Promarkers, and the sentiment is from Create with TLC. I cut the sentiment and its layer on a label shape from the Silhouette store. The […]
Eek! A special Halloween card
I am so excited to show you a special card I received in the mail! Today’s card is courtesy of Sharon, the only official Guest Designer here at Misplaced Mojo. I’m hoping to showcase quite a few of her projects (hint, hint Sharon!) in the coming months! 🙂 Have a look at what may […]
Silhouette Weekly Challenge – Flowers and Frames
This week’s challenge on the Silhouette blog is to use flowers and/or frames from the Silhouette store. I love the 3D flowers available through the Silhouette store so I selected the Nested Flower 3D set. I cut it out in 3 shades of red, gently curved the petals to give it more dimension, and gave […]
Deconstructed Sketch 119
My BFF and I sometimes challenge each other to create a card and take turns picking a sketch to use from various websites. No pressure (usually!) and no time frame. I find that our friendly challenges are a great way to make me carve out some crafty time in my busy week… or just give […]
Deconstructed Challenge – Sketch 120
One of my favorite bloggers/crafter/colorers is Jen at deconstructingjen.com. The woman has mad coloring skills. She hosts a (weekly?) card sketch challenge. I’ve used her archive of sketches before for inspiration, but I wanted to see if I could actually pull off a card during the current week’s challenge. You can read more about the […]
September Challenge @ MyScrapChick.com
I guess I work best under pressure. I’ve known about this challenge for almost a month, but it took me until the last day to get off my butt and make something. I’ve been a customer and fan of MyScrapChick.com for years. They sell cut files and their stuff is really cute. If you subscribe […]
