Mojo Monday 141

I can't believe another month is almost over.  I hope those of you celebrating Memorial Day are having a fabulous long weekend!  It's the last Monday of the month, and we've got another Round or Square sketch for you to play with!  These are always my favorite - make something round, make something square, or do both if you're feeling super inspired!  If you don't have a particular shape, feel free to substitute, and as always... have fun!

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. You can always play along as many times as you like.

There is no time limit - you can play any week at any time, but I will close the linky 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 MOJO141.

The Mojo Makers whipped up some fabulous inspiration for you this week.  Check out their fun, whimsical interpretations of this week's challenge below...

Mojo Monday 138

Thanks to everyone who played along in last week's contest! It's always so fun to see everyone's unique take on our sketches. We'll be announcing the mojolicious winners from last week's contest on Wednesday, so be sure to check back then to see if you won. This week we've got a fun square sketch to jump start your mojo.  The new linky widget with thumbnails seemed to go okay last week, so we'll be sticking with it.  :)

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 linky 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 MOJO138.

For my card this week I went retro grunge with some Tim Holtz papers and distress inks and used an emboss resist technique.  I even had a little fun dusting off an old favorite tool - my paper corrugator.  I love how easily a little crimping can dress up a piece of paper.  More info on my blog, Poetic Artistry.

And here's a little inspiration from the Mojo Makers to get you started.  I just love how different they all are, and the fabulous happy colors have me wanting to go take another crack at this sketch!  Have fun this week!

Mojo Monday 137 - CONTEST

Happy May, Mojo Fans! It's the first Monday of the month, so that means it's CONTEST time! {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.} So dust off your mojo and get ready to stamp! After my month-long break from creating sketches, I'm back this week with a fun sketch that can be clean and simple or something more! You decide! We're also trying out a new post format and a linking widget this week with picture thumnails, so let me know what you think.  Hopefully it'll make things easier, prettier and there won't be quite so much scrolling to get to the linky form!

The Prizes: We'll have one winner for every 75 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 MOJO138. Our challenge is open to everyone, Verve stamps are NOT required to participate, and you can enter as many times as you want.  As always, have fun - if you don't have a particular shape, feel free to substittute and work with the supplies you have on hand.

Deadline: The linky entry widget will close at 8PM MT on Sunday, May 9, so all entries need to be in before then. Winners will be announced on Wednesday, May 12.

For my sample card I went clean & simple with lots of white space and a beachy masculine feel.  A fun card that works for girls and boys alike!  The surfboards are from Verve's Relax set and the birthday greetings sentiment is from Big Wish. For more details, hop on over to my blog, Poetic Artistry.  Can't wait to see what y'all create this week!
