I just love the repeated use of mustaches here and how the color scheme is simple but becomes elegant on this card!

What a fabulous and ingenious card! The wallpaper has been made by stamping and love how it is curling over just like wallpaper does! The paint splat looks fab and just love how she has just a zap of the blue. The whole card looks brilliant - well done.


I love how all the details on this card come together - beautiful black border, sheer white ribbon, yellow rhinestones and pins - to accent a message of a beautiful sentiment!


Wonderful job of mixing up the pattern papers. Great use of the black and white to make your color choice pop! Not to mention this is such a sweet birthday card!

(apologies for the wonky spacing...apparently blogger has an opinion of what our post should look like! lol)


I was really impressed with how well you worked with such a vibrant green and your project really pops. Thanks for sharing with us at Card Makin Mamas.



I love everything about this. The images are so cute and the colouring is fabulous. Love the embossing and the lovely attention to detail with the inside being so beautifully finished off.



I love the use of white on white for the monochromatic effect. The result is very elegant and beautifully clean!





I love the robot image and the way you've coloured him to have that rounded look. The embossed cogs look great- the vellum makes it really stand out and stitching it is a great extra detail. Fab!



 Great monochromatic card, Debbie! Love the variations of color and how feminine your design elements are...the flowers, lace, ribbon...so pretty together!

Check back tomorrow (PDT Noon) for CMM73's winner & DT Faves!

CMM74 | For the Kids sponsored by Bugaboo

Welcome to the September Edition of Card Makin' Mamas Challenges!

Are YOUR kids back in school yet? (Cue the "It's the most wonderful time, of the year" song...) Does the return to a schedule give you more or less time to get crafty?? 

WELL, we do hope that you have time to jump in and play along with this month's challenge, which is totally dedicated to those wonderful KIDS!

Our challenge this month is sponsored by the wonderful BUGABOO STAMPS!

Everything That You Ever Wanted to Know About Bugaboo Stamps: A Short Essay:


As if raising five children in the frozen land of the North was not enough of a challenge, Jodie Mackrell decided to dip her cold little Canadian toes into the world of papercrafting by opening an online store full of her illustrations. That was two years ago. Today Bugaboo Stamps is one of the leading companies in digital images, and we're still growing!  From seriously snarky to sugary sweet to sublimely soulful all the way over to the other side of the super sexy spectrum, you're bound to find all that you need and more to create your paper projects.  Jodie works very hard to provide New Releases and Freebies every week! 
If your taste runs to rubber (and you know who you are), you can find Bugaboo Stamps at Totally Stampalicious. And finally, join the Bugaboo Stamps DT   for weekly challenges at Catch the Bug

They will be offering the winner of this challenge  FREE DIGIS


So pack the kiddos off and get ready to get crafty! Need a little inspiration? Look and see what our Mojo Mamas created!



Susan's beautiful Bear


Penny's Happy Birthday

We can't wait to see what you come up with!! Happy Crafting!!
