I am SO happy to be back cardmaking and blogging again! Even with a crazy work schedule over the holidays and with family visiting, I couldn't resist checking out blogs over the past few weeks. I was *ITCHING!* to join a few challenges, but I felt a short break would be okay and being with family was much needed. :)
For today's post, I have two cards! Wee! I decided to take on Mojo Monday's Contest Sketch and Just Us Girls Sketch Challenge! Yay!!! So FUN, so INSPIRING!
**Before I go on though, I'd like to say THANK YOU, MS KRISTIN over at JUGs!!! Thank you, thank you for recognizing my work for last month's Chalk Challenge. I truly appreciate it. It means a TON! and I just needed to let you know that!**
On to the cards! Yayy!!

I tried something NEW with this card: coloring with pencils. I colored in a few areas on this supercool! butterfly and softened it a bit with a blender pen. The colors bleeding outside the lines bothered!!! me in the beginning but I think I'm loving it now.. :)

AWEsome cards!! I LOVE the MOJO one - the textures are fabulous! Beautiful work!!!
Love BOTH cards! The balloons are fabulous and the butterfly is so pretty! Love how you used both sketches! Thanks for playing our JUGs challenge!
Tee Hee - WHen I first read your post I thought you used Mojo Monday and JUGS sketch on the SAME card and I wondered HOW you did that - but then I looked at the photos! Love both cards - way to get back in the challenge groove. Thanks for joining Just Us Girls as we kick off a new year! Hope to see you again.
Both of these cards are wonderful! I like all the paper piercing on the second & that bow is to die for! Thanks for playing along with Just Us Girls sketch challenge! Hope to see you Saturday for a fun technique challenge!
cute balloons and cute card!
What a fun idea to use ballons for your Mojo card. The second card is pretty.
These are both so pretty!! I love the balloons and jewels on the first one, and the background is fabulous on the second one! Great job with both sketches!
