Mojo Monday 197

Happy Monday, Mojo friends!  How's your summer treating you?  It's been super busy around here, so this week we've got a simple sketch for you.  Feel free to dress it up or dress it down to your heart's content. The ribbon, flower and rounded corners are simply embellishment suggestions.  We just hope you're able to find a pocket of "ME" time amidst the busyness of summer activities to play along!  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.  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 MOJO197.

Here's a little inspiration from the Mojo Designers to get you started:

Your mojo engines were on fire last week, and we had so much fun visiting your blogs and checking out all 353 entries for last week's  June Mojo Madness 195 contest!  Since we add a winner for every 50 entries we receive, that means we have 7 winners this month! It was SOOOOO hard narrowing it down to just seven, so be sure to check out our shout-out slideshow at the bottom of this post to see some AMAZING creations from our top 30 finalists.

A big mojo-licious congrats to...

Mojo Monday 194 - 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 June 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 MOJO194. 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, June 12, so all entries need to be in before then. Winners will be announced on Wednesday, June 15.

I had a lot of fun with this week's layout.  For those of you interested in the breakdown, I used 1" x 4" strips of patterned paper for the panels, then punched out 4 one inch circles and layered them behind the horizontal strip to form a scallop border.  For more about my 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!

Have fun and good luck!
