I saw a couple of different blogs that had a layout called Mojo Monday. Some of you may be aware of it but it was new to me and I loved it. The person who started it decided that Monday’s were blah days so she needed something to get her Mojo going. Each Monday she posts a new design layout. I thought this was a great layout resource. She even shows samples of how it can be used and she has a monthly contest. I encourage you to check it out especially when you need some inspiration. Her website is www.mojomonday.blogspot.com.
I had a lot of fun with this and it was so easy. I decided to try out the new Fleurettes on it. I love how it turned out. I used the layout from this week #72.

Last weekend we had a fun day of Stamping at Janice’s down-line meeting. Here are the rest of the fun projects that we got to make.
This is a fun pillow box. I know you can’t see it but we used the new textured plates on it and it looks really cool. The flower is the new Simple Flower embosslit die . I love that it embosses it and cuts it out with just one quick turn through the big shot. We used a half pearl from the pretties kit for the center. The tag is made by stamping in VersaMark pad and embossing with white embossing powder. I love that we got to use the new organza ribbon. I think it is so pretty.

This was a 6×6 page swap that I did for convention last year. I really loved how it turned out. I think the same basic layout could be used on a 12 x 12 page. I will have to give it a try. The Flower in the corner is just the large flower cut out and then folded back and under. I saw it somewhere and thought it looked really cool.

I love to make gifts when ever I have a chance. I also love to make the package for them. I usually keep the supplies on hand so I can make one really fast. I’ve used them a lot for Weddings, Showers and Baby Gifts.
This is a sample of the box I made to put the gift in. I love the wheels because it is so fast to decorate the box and they look really cute. I used. 109688 Whimsy Jumbo Wheel $8.50 for this box. Then I just used a piece of paper from the Simply Scrapin’ Kit that I created the gift with. You could use any Simply Scrapin’ Kit or DSP. The one pictured here is an old one that is retired now.
The box is so easy to make. Just decide on your size and depth then score the sides to fit. Cut in on the score on just one side all the way around then fold and attach with mini glue dots or sticky strip. I always make the top box 1/16 bigger so they slide together nicely. Then the box is just finished with a belly band that slides off to open the gift.
This is the gift that I made to put in the box. It is using the same Simply Scrapin’ Kit. I’ve just cut it to fit on one of our on board book basics Large#110713 $7.95 for 4. I love this gift because it is so easy to create and you can change it for about any occasion. The picture part is sized perfectly for a 4×6 photo. Then you just put it on a plate rack holder and it’s a darling picture frame with lots of character.
