Mojo Monday 402

Hello friends, join us in welcoming Justin and Lori to the Mojo team....whoop, whoop! We are super excited to have them playing along, be sure to check out their blogs. We also want to thank you all again for the support you have shown us, we look forward to another 400 sketches! Julee has created this blowout of a sketch, let's get started!

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. Please use a direct link to your Mojo post and not just your blog.

If you upload to online galleries, please also use tag/keyword MOJO402. Verve stamps are NOT required to participate, and you can enter as many times as you want.  As always, if you don't have a particular shape, feel free to substitute.

There is no time limit - you can always play any week at any time, but I will close the linking form on Sunday night, June 21 at 8:00pm (Mountain). That way there's no confusion which linky is the current one. 


For inspiration using this week's sketch, please visit our design team's blogs, which are the first 7 thumbnails on this week's linky list:

June Contest Winners and 2 New Designers Announcement

Looking for this week's sketch?
Mojo 401 Challenge Post
It's time to announce the winners for our June Mojo Contest!  

First off, just let me say THANK YOU to all of you who played along for our 400th sketch! Your entries were all wonderfully unique and I so enjoyed reading the sweet things you had to say about Mojo!  Our random winners are posted at the end of this post, but I know many of you are anxious to find out who the new Mojo Makers are, so I'll get to that first.

The choosing of just 2 designers from the pool of fantastic entries was so much harder than I ever imagined.  It takes guts to put yourselves out there, and I applaud the bravery of each person who posted that I Want To Be A Mojo Designer graphic!  Cheers to you all!  That being said, I had to finally narrow my choices down and have selected the following two amazing cardmakers to join our team:

Justin Krieger of jkcards
Justin has been playing along with Mojo Monday since around Mojo 220.  His cards have a sophistication and elegance without pretense that make me stop and stare each time I click one of his links.  I can't wait to see his cards featured here each week!

Lori Tecler of Inking Aloud
I found Mojo entries from Lori from as far back as Mojo 22 when the challenge was still on my personal blog!  Her cards are always soft and dreamy, with a sweet, cute style I'm excited to see represented in our featured cards each week!


Congrats Justin and Lori!  

I'll be emailing you later today with more details!
Welcome to the team!


Okay, now on to our Verve sponsored prize winners announcement.

And the randomly drawn winners of our Mojo 400 contest are:

If you're an June winner, congrats!!!  To claim your prize, please email me at contests@vervestamps.com with your choice of any Verve Stamps set and your shipping address and I'll get your prize in the mail!


Thanks again to everyone who participated!

We'll see you next Monday!
