CTS#132 & Mojo Monday #407

Hi everyone!!!!


Nearly cut-off time for the week at the CAS(E) this Sketch Blog.
Have also done a Mojo Monday card which I will link at the Mojo Monday Blog.


I've shared with some of you how the cold has kept me out of the study where I have my craft area and my computer!!!!  It's freezing cold in here and that had me spending time in the much warmer lounge or in front of the fire in the family room.  But I missed making cards and spending time in Blogland, so I decided to do something about it!!!!  I have dug out our very old (nearly ancient!!!) heater  under lots of dusty boxes in the garage and put it right next to my crafting table!!!  And yes, thank goodness it's still working!!!  ...only problem is that hubby hates the thing and says it gives off a terrible scent and he's a bit grumpy having the thing in the house (...believes it might start a fire!!!)!!!  So now I have a very cosy craft area, but a grumpy husband!!!!  ...but I think I can handle the grumpy husband better than the cold!!!  LOL!!!!  I'm now happily stamping and blogging in my cosy craft area!!!!  So here's the two cards I want to share.



The sketch at CTS:

and my card:

  

Done my sponging with Bundled Sage, Stormy Sky, Scattered Straw and Black Soot DI's.
Don't have the details of the tree stamp - it's a very old wood block one.
Sentiment stamp from Verve.
Added three black plastic dots to finish it off.




The Mojo Monday sketch:

and my card:

Patterned papers from KaiserCraft.
Flower die from MFT.  Leaves stamp and die from PTI.
Sentiment banner dies from Verve.
Rings cut with Spellbinders nesties.
Added a  twine bow and lots of bling to finish it off.


I will be linking this card to my friend, Mynn Kitchen's Blog, too.  She is celebrating 5 years of blogging and has a give-away with some lovely prizes.  Hop over to her blog, On a Stampage and have a look.
