Mojo Monday 201

Happy Monday, Mojo friends!  Thanks to everyone who played along in our 200th celebration last week.  I'll announce the random winners a little later in the post, but first let's get to the new sketch!  Since it's the last week of the month, we like to mix things up and focus on non-traditional sized cards, so we've given you a Round or Square option.  This week's sketch is designed by Stephanie Kraft.  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.} And for those unsure about square cards a 4.25" square is a perfect size to start with, and it will even fit in a regular A2 envelope.

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 linking widget at the bottom of this post.  There is no time limit - you can always play any week at any time, but the linking form is scheduled to close at 8:00pm (Mountain) on Sunday night. That way there's no confusion which link list is the current one. If you upload to online galleries, please use keyword/tag MOJO201.

Okay, before I show you the samples from the design team, let me give a congrats to our random winners from our Mojo Monday 200 celebration!  We had just over 300 entries, so that means we have 6 prizes to give away!  Here are the lucky winners...

3.  Linky #134...  Melissa

Mojo Monday 199

Thanks to everyone who played along in last week's Mojo Madness contest!   We're making our final selections 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 Monday again and that means it's time for a new sketch! This week we're back to playing just for fun and since I've been swamped with Verve's new release, Teresa Kline stepped in for me with this adorable sketch! 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 MOJO199.
