Moony Mojo Monday

Good morning, friendlies!  I've got a lovely little combo of a card to share with you this Mojo Monday.  I was a little stuck on exactly how I was going to do it, but I'm pleased with what I ended up with.  Don't you love it when that happens?

First things first: here's this week's Mojo Monday sketch, created by that lovely ray of Virginia¹ sunshine, Teresa Kline...

I love it when the Mojo sketches have a big focal point - makes it so much easier to insert my beloved cartoon-y images. :)  This is such a great, classic design, it may just wind up in my Go-To sketch file. 

I combined my Mojo sample with the current TCP TUESDAY challenge (brought to you by The Cat's Pajamas).  My dear buddy, SUSIESTAMPALOT (aka Susan Liles, Sus, Sus-a-palooza, and the Birthday Bowling Queen) is this week's Hipster Hostess With the Mostess, and she's come up with a doozy of a Stamps/CutUps challenge: use any stamp that starts with the letter "M" for May.  And for the CutUps, use the Pennant Die (none of the dies start with M!). As Susan explains, "The stamp SET doesn't have to start with "M", just the stamp or something within the stamp.  Like the penguin holding a Margarita, the little girl holding a Mug, obviously the MUSTACHES, Merry Christmas, the bunny riding the Moped, the Monkeys, the bunny on the Mushroom, all the bears have Muzzles, Music--now ya'll get the idea?"

Got it, sister.  For my M 'mage², I chose the bunny on the moon in the brand new WISH set.  I wasn't sure exactly how I'd get the pennant die to fit in with the Mojo Sketch, but I played around with it an came up with something that I think works³.

Isn't that image cute?  Lovey!  I paper pieced the moon and colored the bunny with Copic markers, then fussy cut the image out and popped it up with foam boosters on the starry background paper.  Notice the way the card is opening - I usually cut my card base from cardstock then score it with a top fold.  I was doing a little LONG OVERDUE cleaning of my craft room this weekend, and came upon a stash of store-bought, pre-scored white card bases.  I figured that since I'm on a white card base kick these days, I might as well use them up.  Hence the side-fold.  Top folds are much easier to photograph/balance, but I do feel nice and green not letting these card bases go to waste.

Head over to the Mojo Monday blog to see how you can participate in this week's challenge, and be sure to visit the blogs of my fellow Mojo Makers for further inspiration:

• Debbie Carriere
• Julee Tilman
• Mary Fish
• Sarah Bigelow
• Teresa Kline
• Stephanie Kraft

You've still got a few hours to get in on the TCP Tuesday Stamps/CutUps challenge (see this post on Alma's blog for all the details).  Still, even if you don't finish it today, it can get you thinking about the TCP Tuesday challenge that will be issued tomorrow (a little bird told me it's going to be a sketch challenge...).

Alrighty, I'd best be going.  I have a little man in the other room demanding that I help him organize his Lego Star Wars minifigures.  May the force be with you!

 

Footnotes

1. Virginia is my home state - I born and raised in Alexandria until I was a sophmore in high school, and then I lived there once more for a year and half as a newlywed. Gotta love the Old Dominion! Truman - my 15 year old - did break my heart a little bit yesterday (on Mother's Day, no less!) when he told me he had no interest in going to college at UVA. I grew up wanting to go to school there, but fate had other plans for me... I've always hoped one of my boys would end up a Cavalier.  Guess I'd better get to work on Mr. Carter... 
2. Get it? "M 'mage"?! As in "image"?! *chortle!*  Like Ralph Malph, I still got it! Speaking of Happy Days, do you remember when Potsy would say "Funny as a crutch, Rich"? I never understood that. Is he saying that crutches aren't funny? Okay. That I get.  But why does he think "Funny as a crutch" is a snappy comeback? He's such a Dren... (remember that?  When Joanie had a crutch on Potsy and would write love notes to him addressed to 'Dren' because its 'nerd' spelled backward?  Man, I watched way too much TV as a kid... Just think if I'd had all the channels kids today have? Or Netflix?!  Oooh...)
3. And by 'works,' I mean that I actually think it looks like it goes with the card and wasn't just tacked on there to fulfill a challenge requirement. Even though it was.

I know a few people that I would like to give that card to including myself. I am going to see what supplies I need in my room from http://roomstogrowusa.web12.hubspot.com/hobbyrooom/ then head to the store get what I need and come back home and make some. Thanks for sharing that great card!

This is AWESOME! I love that you used a moon image for the circle, and that triangle paired up with the ribbon sentiment is just plain FUN!
