Mojo Monday 131 with 2 cards


This one is made for inviting a friend for coffee. I love the hearts on the mug and the polka dot paper. Super cute!!

This one is a wedding card. I really like this paper and this one is made for a male friend. Instead using pink I use a gold paper.When I first started, I actually had hard time to make a card and after I get the first one done. I am in love with this sketch and I have to make another one.

I made both cards using sketch of Mojo Monday 131. TFL~

Happy St. Patrick's day

Sharing~
I made this card for Jennifer McGuire's first Kid's card drive. Just realized this one can be a St. Patrick's day card or by changing the color, this can be a wedding card as well. 

They are spellbinders hears in three different color and sizes and I use foam type to stack them up.
