Mojo Monday 154

Wow, where has the summer gone?  It's already the last Monday in August!  And the last sketch of the month means it's round or square time!  You choose - round, square or both.  As always, if you don't have a particular shape, feel free to substitute.  This is a pretty simple sketch which means you get to be creative - flip the sketch (I did!) or substitute shapes and sizes, the important thing is to have fun and make the sketch work for you!


To play along, just make a project using the provided sketch and upload it to your blog or online gallery. Then leave a link to your project using the linky widget at the bottom of this post.

There is no time limit, we're playing just for fun and you can always play any week at any time, but I will close the linky form on Sunday night at 8:00pm (Mountain). That way there's no confusion which linky is the current one. If you upload to online galleries, please use keyword/tag MOJO154.

As always, the Mojo Makers have some delicious inspiration to start you off.  Check out their fun and unique takes on this week's challenge below...

Mojo Monday 152

Welcome to another week of Mojo!  This week, I'm busy preparing for another Verve release, so Maria stepped in with this fun sketch for us to play with!  As always, if you don't have a particular shape, feel free to substitute with the supplies you have on hand.  I included a really faint extra shape inside the oval , but it's completely optional.  Just have fun creating!  And if you're looking for some more sketch inspiration this week, check out the 5 new Anni-VERVE-sary sketches I designed over in the Verve forum on SCS.


To play along with Mojo Monday, just make a project using the provided sketch and upload it to your blog or online gallery. Then leave a link to your project using the linky widget at the bottom of this post.

Mojo Monday 151

Thanks to everyone who played along in last week's Mojo Madness contest! We're busy judging all the fabulous entries and will announce the mojolicious winners from last week's contest on Wednesday.  So be sure to check back then to see the winning cards!

As for today, it's Monday and time for a new sketch!  We're back to playing just for fun this week, and as always, you can change up the shapes and sizes if you need.  I made the sketch with basic rectangles, but feel free to bust out those shaped dies to jazz it up!  Mojo is all about the fun, so let your creativity run wild!


To play along, just make a project using the provided sketch and upload it to your blog or online gallery. Then leave a link to your project using the linky widget at the bottom of this post.

There is no time limit - you can always play any week at any time, but I will close the linking form on Sunday night at 8:00pm (Mountain). That way there's no confusion which linky is the current one. If you upload to online galleries, please use keyword/tag MOJO151.

Mojo 150 - CONTEST

Happy August!!! It's the first Monday of the month, so that means it's CONTEST time again! {For those of you new to Mojo, we just play for fun most weeks, but the first sketch of every month is our Mojo Madness contest with prizes for our top picks.} Start your engines and get ready to rumble, because this week's Mojo sketch is straight from dreamland!  LOL, truly, I woke up one morning after dreaming about making a card with this layout and immediately ran to my desk and drew it out!  I had fun using it, and I hope it's a dream to work with for you, too!

The Prizes: We'll have one winner for every 50 entries, up to a max of SIX winners!!! Winners will receive the Verve Stamps set of their choice.

How to play: Just upload a project using this week's sketch to your online blog or gallery. Then leave a link to your project in the linky widget at the bottom of this post.  If you upload to online galleries, please also use tag/keyword MOJO150. Our challenge is open to everyone, Verve stamps are NOT required to participate, and you can enter as many times as you want.  As always, have fun - if you don't have a particular shape, feel free to substitute and work with the supplies you have on hand.

Deadline: The linky entry widget will close at 8PM MT on Sunday, August 8, so all entries need to be in before then. Winners will be announced on Wednesday, August 11.

And to get your mojo wheels a spinnin', here's what the design team whipped up with this week's sketch:
