Mojo Monday #296 Contest

Hello! Today I am playing along in Mojo Monday's Sketch #296 Contest! When I saw the sketch, I knew I wanted to use Basic Grey's Fact and Fiction collection that I just received in the mail-instant love!




Here is my take on the challenge:


 
And since you can't really read it:
 



I'll let you in on a little secret: the book page is in the 12x12 paper, but it is also the backing for the chipboard stickers. I used the backing here. Can you tell? I didn't think so!

Paper: Chandler (Bazzill)
Patterned Paper: Fact & Fiction 12x12 (Basic Grey); The Sweetest Thing-Tangerine 6x6 (My Mind's Eye); This & That-Graceful 6x6 (Echo Park)

2.5in. x 4in.The blue piece is 1in. wide.

Mojo Monday #295!

Hello! This week I decided to play along in Mojo Monday Challenge #295! I made a card for last week's challenge, but completely forgot to post it. So, this is technically my second time playing, but my first linking up!



I decided to do the round card sketch and came up with this:

















As you can see, I omitted the diamond because my image was too big (I hope that is okay!). The card base was made by overlapping the die on a piece of folded cardstock and then cutting a full circle with the same die.

Supplies

Paper: Kraft (Recollections); White (Georgia-Pacific); Vellum (The Paper Studio)
Patterned Paper: This & That Graceful 6x6 (Echo Park); The Sweetest Thing Tangerine (My Mind's Eye)
Stamps: Blue Skies (Lawn Fawn)

Markers: Creamy Caramel (Stampin' Up)

Moxie Fab World Gift Packaging Challenge

Hello! After playing along in a few other Moxie Fab Challenges, I decided to try out the Gift Packaging Challenge! This one was definitely a challenge as I don't normally make boxes. The finished size is 4 in.x 4 in.x 2 in.



The box closes with Velcro flaps at 3 different points. I decided to fill the box with Hershey Kisses because if I were to receive that much, there would definitely be blue skies for me!

Supplies

Paper: Kraft (Recollections); White (Georgia-Pacific); Baja Breeze (Stampin' Up)
Stamps: Blue Skies, And a Partridge (Lawn Fawn)
Ink: Chestnut Roan (Colorbox); Tuxedo Black (Tsukineko)
Markers: Bermuda Bay (Stampin' Up)
Punches: Stampin' Up and Marvy
Other: Heavy Duty Velcro
