Mojo Monday 188

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 sketch was designed by Sarah Bigelow.  As 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 MOJO188.

And here are samples from the Mojo design team:

Welcome to another week of Mojo Monday! This week's sketch comes to you from Maria Gurnsey!  I always love the look of a circle in a square, and that sweet little tag  is too much fun!

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 MOJO187.

Twine and ribbon are two of my all-time favorite embellishments. And this week's sketch, designed by Teresa Kline has a place for both! Whether your style is clean & graphic, cute & whimsical, shabby chic or something all your own, this sketch will kickstart your mojo! I went with a shabby chic feel for my sample card. For more about it, 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.
