Santa

Made this for our inter-team mojo jar challenge. I wasn't doing them whilst I was mojoless, but now it's back and I'm playing again! My challenge was to make my own embellies, so I've made some buttons from matching papers and Glossy Accents.

These were my third attempt. The first ones were destroyed when I put my diary down on them whilst they were drying and the second batch were ruined when I put my ribbon jar lid down on them. I really am hopeless at remembering I have GA drying.

My DH rescued this third batch by hiding them from me!

Oh, and this LO is also for Susi, who says I scrap my Dad more than I scrap my Husband... which is probably true because Daddy poses when a camera is pointed at him and John doesn't!

Mojo Jar - June Dip

This month I had "Scraplift from a Teamie's Gallery" - so I lifted from Maria.


I decided to scrap the "wonderful" chandelier that adorned one of the ceilings at the Retreat back in March! The amazingly freaky thing.

Sketchy Thursdays Second Chance

Couple of posts today for Sketchy Thursdays. This first one is a Second Chance challenge. It didn't come together exactly as I'd hoped. My pens bled a bit more than I was expecting them to and the doodling isn't that doodled. Ah well.


This is my 13th birthday party. I'm the one in the dodgy stripey jumper, Alice band and parrot ear-rings. You might not be able to make it out, but the cake was a butterfly - hence the butterfly paper and punched butterflies.

Have also included some hidden journalling for our inter-team mojo challenge this month.

Bonus embellishment! I took this picture outside and ended up with this lovely Ladybug. :)

Mojo Jar - March Dip

This month I had one of Sue's and her challenge was a Pencil Lines sketch. Here's the result:


An old picture of my mother and I in Spain. I want to say this is El Torkel, but I might be wrong. It also looks like a great place for carbonate geology, but I didn't care about that back then! Possibly I'm sitting on shells and corals... oh well.

I tried to match the papers to the colours in the picture and the flowers match the outfits that my mum an I are wearing. I loved that garish stripey jumper and though you can't see it in this picture, I'm also wearing bright red shoes and neon pink socks! Oh yes!

Mojo Jar - February Dip

My February inter-team team was "Scrap a Favourite Holiday" from Janet. So, of course, I went for a photo from my Road Trip!

The Corsair at Pima has its wings up, which is a bit of a shame, but I took it's picture anyway.
