Mojo Monday 193

Happy Mojo Monday!  For the last week of the month, we like to mix things up and focus on non-traditional sized cards.  So since it's Round or Square week 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.} 


This week's sketch may look tricky, but I promise it's easy "piece-y"! {grin}  The background is just a square cut into quarters along the diagonal so that you have four triangles. Then flip over two opposing sides and piece back together with tape. For the circle sketch, do the same thing, then just cut your circle from your pieced together square.
  
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 linky widget at the bottom of this post.  There is no time limit - you can always play any week at any time, but the linky form is scheduled to close at 8:00pm (Mountain) on Sunday night. That way there's no confusion which linky is the current one. If you upload to online galleries, please use keyword/tag MOJO193.
Here are some awesome samples from the Mojo Makers:

Mojo Monday 192

Then leave a link to your project using the linky widget at the bottom of this post.  As always, if you don't have a specific shape, feel free to substitute. The important thing is to have fun and get stampy!

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 MOJO192.

Mojo Monday 189 - CONTEST

Welcome to another month of Mojo Monday!  Before I get to the sketch, we're excited to announce the addition of a new Mojo Maker to our team...  Carole Burrage!

If you haven't seen Carole's work before, you're in for a real treat!  She has a fresh, funky style, with a no-holds barred approach to color which combines for stylishly eye catching and exciting creations.  Not to mention this gal can spin a fabulously entertaining tale about it all - her blog is just as fun to read as it is to look at it!  I just know she's going to be coloring our Mojo world with inspiration each week.  So be sure to stop by her blog and give her a warm Mojo welcome!

Okay... on with the business of getting sketchy!  It's the first Monday of the month and that means it's time to kick off our May  MOJO MADNESS 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 MOJO189.
