Mojo Monday 410 – On Thursday?

Charlene Becker

Hello Friends!

Yep, time got away from me this week! I am just now posting my card for the Mojo Monday Challenge. I would love to blame this on something or someone…such as, my 3 year old son is sick and has been coughing A LOT, my upline’s meeting was today, I had to show my house this week, I had to clean the <insert whatever here>…but I won’t. I will just say, BETTER LATE THAN NEVER! HA! I am a major procrastinator so I think that has been and always will be my motto. 😉 Anyway, on to the Mojo Monday sketch and card!

Super cute layout! I can’t stop thinking about the new Spiderweb Doilies that will be in the Holiday catalog September 1st, so I used those! I also sponged some silver glimmer paper to get an “almost” black….which you won’t HAVE to do anymore because there will be BLACK GLIMMER PAPER!!! Ahhhhh! 🙂 But if you do just get the silver…think of all the possibilities! 😉

I also trimmed the spiderweb behind the “moon” (because no one would know!) and I used that for a tag I made. Sneaky, huh? The iced rhinestones are new too, or will be Sept 1st, and they are gorgeous! They add SO much sparkle to the card. Well, that’s it for today! Hope you enjoyed this post (I do try to entertain) and my card!

Mojo Monday 409 Card Sketch Challenge – Contest

Charlene Becker

I haven’t participated in a challenge in a LONG time….so I was so happy when I saw this sketch over at Mojo Monday. I loved it! However, as I was creating my card, I kept thinking is this going to match? Is this going to look cute? But, I kept going….and I am SO happy with how it turned out! 🙂

I did take a picture as I was creating to show you how I used the Spiderweb Doily (new in the holiday catalog). I cut the middle out, turned it over and sponged it. I just love how Stampin Up’s products are so versatile! It’s always nice to get more bang for your buck 😉

And here is my finished card! I used a new stamp set from the holiday catalog called Thankful Forest Friends, Into the Woods DSP, Into the Woods cotton ribbon in Rich Razzleberry, Into the Woods elements and the Spiderweb Doilies. This hand-painted design paper is absolutely gorgeous! I can’t wait to create more cards and projects!

Quick & Easy Phone Mount & a Quick Project Life Layout

Charlene Becker

Here is a quick video on how to make a super easy and inexpensive phone mount for making crafting/stamping videos! Yes I know the video is sideways (ugh!). I didn’t realize that I had to turn it before uploading it. Hopefully my next video will turn out much better!

I also made a Project Life 12″ x 12″ scrapbook page in the 2nd half of the video. I used the Let’s Get Away Project Life Bundle, #140300 $34.00, 12″ X 12″ Project Life Photo Pocket Pages #135295 $7.00. You can purchase any of these items on my Stampin Up website HERE. It was super fast and so cute! I’m in love with all of Stampin Up Project Life Kits. It makes scrapbooking SO easy!

I hope you enjoyed this quick video, that it helps you in some small way…and I promise they will get better! Ha! 🙂

Thanks for stopping by! ❤

My Old Blog & This Here New One!

Charlene Becker

Hello Friends!

My old blog is a thing of the past! I decided to use a private domain for my new blog, so here it is! You should have come here from http://sweetpiecesbyme.blogspot.com/. I hope to share my Stampin Up projects, craft projects, photography, food/recipes, and little antidotes about my family life.

I’m excited to pursue my blog in a serious way! I have been wanting to update my blog and just write more! I have many things to share with the world and sometimes I feel like my head is about to pop with all of the ideas I have rolling around in there.

I’m hoping this blog helps to be the outlet that I can utilize to help extract all that’s in that crazy head of mine. 😉

I hope you follow me on this incredible journey and I hope it can help you or inspire you in some way!

<3,

Charlene
