Mojo Monday 234

Hi, everyone!  Mojo Monday is Mojo Tuesday for me.  It seems I can never get a post up for the challenge on Monday itself...  Boo.

Here is the sketch for today's card:

Since this is the last Monday of the month, we get two sketches today -- one for a square card and one for a round/circle card.

I chose to make a square card:

I made this card because I was not feeling well after the lab tests last Friday.  The test took several hours, and I had to get blood drawn every hour.  After the first hour, I was feeling sick and nauseous...but I got through it without any major "incidents."  It helped that my husband came with me to the appointment.  I'm glad he was there, because each hour felt really looong.

My husband kept me entertained and kept my mind of things by promising to take me to several craft stores after the appointment.  He also said he will treat me to some Stampin' Up products. :D  Needless to say, I focused on that and kept thinking about the goodies I was going to get instead of focusing on my poor arms (which were really sore from the blood draw).

I used all these products from Stampin' Up:
Build a Blossom stamp set (Wood:  121923; Clear:  121994)
Word Play stamp set (Wood:  120308; Clear:  120651)
Melon Mambo classic ink pad (115656)
Concord Crush classic ink pad (119785)
Bashful Blue card stock (105120)
Pear Pizzazz card stock (119795)
Whisper White card stock (100730)
Cheerful Treat DSP (Hostess, 122381)
Blossom Petals Builder punch (121808)
1/2" Circle punch (119869)
Everyday Enchantment Ribbon and Brad Pack (Sale-a-bration, 127279)

Black and White Mini Note Cards and Envelopes

So happy it's Friday!

I have a doctor's appointment today, and another one scheduled on Monday.  Today will be blood tests, then Monday's will be the routine prenatal.  I'm a little worried about the lab tests -- it's never fun to get poked and prodded...wish me luck!

In any case, I made these mini note cards and envelopes to perk me up...and even in black and white (no pop of cheerful colors), these still made me smile!

Here is a closer view of each card and envelope:

Each note card measures 3"x3."

I had a lot of fun making these mini note cards.  It was a special treat to be able to use the Simply Scored Scoring Tool (comes with a stylus and 3 place markers to make easy score lines) and Simply Scored Diagonal Scoring Plate (which fits over the tool to make all sorts of cool and fancy envelopes, sold separately).  If you haven't ordered your own scoring tool and plate, don't miss out!  I'm loving these babies!

Here is the complete list of prodcuts I used:
Faith in Nature stamp set (Hostess -- Wood:  122490; Clear:  122492)
Basic Black classic ink pad (101179)
Whisper White card stock (100730)
Basic Black card stock (121045)
Simply Scored Scoring Tool (122334)
Simply Scored Diagonal Plate (125586)
Stampin' Dimensionals (104430)

Of course, it's not Monday anymore.  This is a late post, because work and life sort of took over my crafting time.  Boo.

But that's okay -- as the old cliche goes, better late than never, right?

Yay! I Did It!

Last Monday, I got this really sweet card in the mail from my upline:

Apparently, I made the top 7 sales in her group of downlines last month, and was promoted to Senior Associate.  Yay!  This is so totally unexpected!

Sour Cream Containers Treat Boxes

Hi, everyone!  Happy Wednesday!

Last Thursday, we had a party at work to celebrate our hard-working staff.  We also celebrated a coworker's birthday.  I made a sponge cake for my coworker, and these treat boxes for our staff.

Believe it or not, this was a last minute idea -- not because I did not want to give them anything, but because I was not sure if I will have time to make them a small gift, given that I had to bake and frost a from-scratch cake.

I love sour cream containers, and these were perfect because  they were super quick and easy to make.

Can you guess what's inside the containers?  Yup -- Starbursts.  I love Starbursts and I'm proud of myself for exercising enough self-control to not eat the whole bag. :p

Here are more shots of the containers and the tags I made for them:

I'm glad I made these, because I had a blast making them and watching everyone shake their boxes to guess what was inside.

I used these Stampin' Up products to make these super cute sour cream containers:
Tagtastic stamp set (Hostess, Wood:  122745; Clear:  122747)
Chocolate Chip classic ink pad (100908)
Whisper White card stock (100730)
Everyday Enchantment DSP (Sale-a-bration:  126154)
Extra Large Tag punch (119866)
Crop-a-dile (108362)
Crimper (101618)
Sticky Strip (104294)
1/8 inch brown ribbon (non-Stampin' Up)

P. S.  I was not able to take a photo of my sponge cake, because it disappeared pretty quickly (I have such awesome coworkers -- they make me feel great whenever I bake them something).  It was a sponge cake with whipped cream frosting, and strawberries and chocolate syrup on top.  Yummy!
