Mojo Monday 184

Happy Mojo Monday!  For the last week of the month, we like to mix things up and focus on non-traditional sized cards.  So since it's Round or Square week try a round card, a square card or both if you're feeling really inspired!!  {If you're not sure how to make a round card, I described my process in the 2nd paragraph of this post on my blog a few months ago.} 


This week's super fun sketch was designed by the fabulous Teresa KlineAs always, feel free to substitute if you don't have a specific shape - just make the sketch work for you!  To play along, 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 the linky form is scheduled to close at 8:00pm (Mountain) on Sunday night. That way there's no confusion which linky is the current one. If you upload to online galleries, please use keyword/tag MOJO184.

And to get your mojo kickstarted this morning, here are samples from the Mojo design team:

Mojo Monday 183

Welcome to another week of Mojo Monday!  Last week just flew by and it's already time to get sketchy again!  This week's sketch has clean lines, but lots of potential to dress it up with accents and borders.

To play along, 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.  As always, we hope you'll play along with us and link up your cards using this week's sketch. If you don't have a specific shape, feel free to substitute. The important thing is to have fun and get stampy!

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 MOJO183.

Mojo Monday 182


Thanks to everyone who played along in last week's Mojo Madness contest!   We're making our final selections from the 300+ entries you submitted and will be announcing our mojolicious picks from last week's contest on Wednesday, so be sure to check back then to see the winning cards!

But in the meantime, it's time for a new sketch! This week we're back to playing just for fun.  As always, feel free to substitute if you don't have a specific shape! 

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 MOJO182.

Julee's SampleThis week's sketch is based on this card I made a while back. I liked the simple lines and the diagonal ribbon, so I thought it would be a nice sketch to follow last week's more intricate one. For my card, I went with a larger shape to fit the scripture I wanted to use, then hung a little tag from my fibers. For more about my sample card, you can check it out on my blog, Poetic Artistry.

We hope you'll play along with us and link up your cards using this week's sketch. If you don't have a specific shape, feel free to substitute. The important thing is to have fun and get stampy!

Mojo Monday 181 - CONTEST

Welcome to another month of Mojo Monday!  It's the first Monday of the month and that means it's time to kick off our March CONTEST! {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.} Are you ready to play? 

The Prizes: We'll have one winner for every 50 entries, up to a max of SEVEN 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 MOJO181. Our challenge is open to everyone, Verve stamps are NOT required to participate, and you can enter as many times as you want.

Deadline: The linky entry widget will close at 8PM MT {Click here for time conversion} on Sunday, March 13, so all entries need to be in before then. Winners will be announced on Wednesday, March 16.

Julee's SampleFor my card I went with borders, butterflies and bling, but feel free to make the flower and flourishes any shape, stamp or embellishment you want. I love the way the sketch can be dressed up or down to suit your style. As always, borders are completely optional. For more about my sample card, you can check it out on my blog, Poetic Artistry.
We hope you'll play along with us and link up your cards using this week's sketch. If you don't have a specific shape, feel free to substitute. The important thing is to have fun and get stampy!
