MOJO Monday ...WELL TUESDAY...MOJOMARIA.

MOJO MONDAY...HAPPY 100!

This week MOJO Monday is celebrating hitting 100 sketches! What a feat! This week I decided to go ahead and do a couple of Stamp TV Challenges, which I have not had time to play with for a while now. The Challenge was their Friday Potluck and I loved it! I used the MOJO Monday - Day 2 Sketch and had so much fun with the STV Challenge. The challenge was to do the following with one card:

One-Two-Three-Four Recipe:

1 or more designer paper
2 or more different types of bling
3 or more pastel colors
4 or more layers

and it had to be using pastel colours too!! What fun!

Here is a close up the scrunched ribbon and one of my pretty dollar store flowers. I really wish I had bought more of these when I bought the ones I have now. They are so very pretty and oh so cheap!! LOL!!

I am very pleased with how the card turned out. It was almost strange to be using images that weren't mine...I have to be able to do this now and again to keep my mojo working! After all, I have a ton of stamps in my stamp room that have been calling my name! Now to create a day with more hours!! Thanks for stopping by all!!

MOJO MONDAY MOJO100

STEAMY STANLEY MOJO100

I decided to use this Monday's Mojo Monday sketch with Steamy Stanley. I had this terrific dp from We Are Memory Makers {I picked it up at our local Winners for a steal!!} The die-cuts have been sponged with my Momento Ink Drops - I used Desert Sand, Summer Sky and Cocoa. The ribbon is actually upholstery ribbon. I just thought it worked so well here. The brown pearls are from my local Dollar Store. Hope you like this one! I am thrilled with the end result. This is a terrific sketch and I suspect I will use it again and again. Thanks for stopping by!

STEAMY STANLEY

(C)Steamy Stanley can be used on all manner of cards for all occasions. He is sure to please!! For those of you who are wondering if there will be other trains.....you betcha!! There are modern trains and cabooses just waiting to be launched!! Patience young grasshopper...you will get what you seek..it will just take some time!!!

DON'T YOU JUST HATE LEARNING CURVES??

SUNSHINE MAKES AN OOPSIE!!

As we reported yesterday, we made our first sale from our online store!! We were soooo excited! What we didn't understand {and I should point out that, when I say 'we', I mean ME} was that on the Etsy Store we had failed to list an amount more than one for each item we listed...so when we had our terrific first sales...that meant those two items were OUT OF STOCK!! HORROR!! So we {{OK me}} toddled off and had a wonderful day basking in the wonder and beauty of knowing people liked our images enough to pay for them....only to come home last evening to a frantic phone call from my sister-in-law(Chrissy) saying that one of our Sunshine's Stampers had been contacted by an interested shopper who was trying to purchase from our store! She was being told that the item was OUT OF STOCK!!! Holy Catfish Batman!! Into Etsy we fly!! Where is that inventory number?? Dang it!! Where is that pesky little bit of important info??!! Oh! there it is!! We immediately changed the inventory number to 50 for all 12 items!! Phew! Problem solved!!! WRONG!!! 12 X 50 = 600X .20=$120.00 just for listing the items!!! YIKES!!! Into Etsy again!!! Changed the inventory to 10 for each item!! Holy smokers Robin!! Our "Overhead" needs to be managed!!! All is right with the world now...well kinda...we didn't make the sale because of our {{{OK! OK! MY}}} phoopa!! ***Sigh*** Bear with us folks...we are learning {OK I am learning} as we go along!! If you happen to be the shopper who tried and failed to purchase from our online store, we apologize for your frustration! We thank you for your interest!! If you want to send us an e-mail or leave us a comment we will send you one of our current new images at no cost to you, as an apology for my oopsie and a thank you for your interest in our images. Thanks for stopping by!!

NEW LINE OF DIGITAL STAMPS SHOWCASED TODAY!

HOT2TROT

Hello all! Today I am so very pleased to introduce you all to our newest line of 'feminine' digital images. Hot2Trot is the first in our line of "Totally Feminine" images. You will notice that these legs do not belong to a size zero model! These are real woman legs!! because while those size zero's of the world are gorgeous, they just aren't in my reality. My reality is 14+***sigh** Lets face it...real women have curves!! Heck...my curves have curves!!LOL! Here are some pics of my first card featuring this image and here is a link to one of our Sunshine's Stampers blog, to see her terrific cards featuring this image. STUFFIES STAMPS

Here are a couple of close ups to give you some details of the shoes and the sentiment that was created using my JustRite Stamper.

Finally, here is a shot of the inside. I used the remainder of Melanie's beautiful background on the inside, because I just couldn't bring myself to throw it away. I added a few Prima flowers to finish it off. The inside dp is the same as the outside (sorry can't remember the maker) and I used my new Martha Stewart Zig Zag embossing punch for the paper edges. The sentiment is from Stamping Bella.

Hot2Trot will be available for sale in our online store as of August 5th {once I get it all figured out! OY!} Thanks for stopping by and don't forget to check out the latest cards created by our wonderful Sunshine's Stampers using the newly released images that will be available for purchase as of August 5th!
