Circle Card Mojo 295

A great way to start when creating a card is to find a sketch that you like.  One of my favorite sites for this is the Mojo Monday blog.  They have hundreds of sketches to choose from.  For today's card I was intrigued by a sketch from last May.  It's Mojo 295.  The sketch is for a round or square card. 


I decided to use the round card and came up with this card.

Easter Punch Art Treat Bags


When I saw these adorable Easter treats on Pinterest I just knew I had to make them for my grandsons.  They were designed by Connie Stewart of Simply Simple Stamping.  Click HERE to see her post about these adorable treats.  My good friend came to visit earlier this month and I sat and made these for her grandsons and mine while she worked on some cards for friends.  I'm putting mine in the mail today.  Yummy treats for Sam and Joel. 



Put the candy in a cello bag, staple to the back of the topper, then apply Sticky Strip to seal the front.

All Work and No Play...

is over!!!  I'm mailing the last of the tax returns this morning.  So that means that tax season is officially over for me.  Condolences to my fellow CPA's that have to work today and tomorrow.  But the end is in sight. 

To celebrate my freedom today I'm in my stamp studio doing what I love to do!  It's been awhile since I've created anything new so I needed a boost.  And I turned to the Mojo Monday sketch to help with that.  I already knew that I wanted to focus on Easter this week so I started with the Blessed Easter stamp set.  I think it worked pretty well with the sketch for today. 

Here's the sketch (Mojo 341).  Click HERE to go to the Mojo Monday blog. 


And here's my card. 
 
 
I used Wisteria Wonder and Perfect Plum on the tulips and Pistachio Pudding and Pear Pizzazz on the leaves.  I can't wait to get the new Blendabilities markers with three shades of color.  Won't we have fun then?
