5th Friday Fun | Where the Mojo Mamas Create Blog Hop


T.G.I.F.!
(Thank Goodness It's Friday)


...and welcome to our first

5th Friday Fun with the Mojo Mamas!

Another reason to love Fridays.


Susan

As you know, our CMM challenge weeks begin on a Friday. Most months there are only 4 Fridays, but some months we are blessed with 5. This year we decided instead of having to extend or shorten a challenge, the design team will enjoy a well earned break and we will NOT have a challenge for any CMM week that begins with a 5th Friday!

Penny

January ends on a 5th Friday, so today we have a fun blog hop! Now some of our design teamies are a bit camera shy, but a few of our designers wanted to invite you to grab your favorite drink (and maybe some munchies!) and sit awhile to visit their crafting spaces!

Melissa

I don't know about you, but I LOVE to see where creative people create...it may be in a corner of the room, out of boxes in their kitchen, their guest room, outdoors...wherever it may be, it is their getaway into a life creative!

Carolyn

You've seen the Mojo Mamas' card styles...can you match the craft space with the designer?!
(I'll update this post next week with the designer's names!) Updated!

Kim

Lilia
Maria

Angi

Visit the links below to see more!



Intriguing, isn't it? Sometimes the room matches the designer's style, sometimes the situation or budget...whatever the case may be, it's our creative space!

Thanks for visiting today! Hope you found a little inspiration (or hope!) for your creative space, too.

This is just for fun, so if you'd like to share your craft room with us, link up!
(This does not need to be a new post. If you've blogged about your craft room, let us know!)

Please link only the specific post that shares your creative space (all other links will be deleted) and consider turning off word verification, if you would like us to leave comments. Remember, some of our design team members are taking a break this week, so we'll be by when we can.

And now on to our
Design Team Favorites
where the Design Team chooses one of your cards and gives YOU a creative high five!


DT Penny | #141 Kerry H.
This card screams cuteness to me, I am smiling everytime I look at it.  Your card detail and embellishment choice works really well with that beautiful digi.


Fabulous card Regan, love your colouring it caught my eye right away, her hair is brilliant! Love it all the fab mix of papers and her sparkly boots are out of this world.  Love the gold pearls around the image too! 


I love the stunning colouring skills on this beautiful card and the choice of colours, dp and embellishments. Everything go so perfectly together! Doodled stitching looks so good I didn't realize it's faux at first. 


I love how graphic the card is. I also think that tiny pop of black is a great way to anchor all the elements without being too over the top.


I love this card. Not only is the image colored wonderfully but the message is uplifting and heart warming. Would make the person receiving it know that you care!

I love combo black & pink. Love the choice of image and how it was coloured. In total card looks beautiful.
DT Melissa | #156 Karal S.
I love everything about this card, The colouring, the snowflakes and especially the sentiment.
DT Suzanne | #coming soon!

I like the image colors (my favorite), I like the dynamics and different forms. The flowers are so great!


We don't have 'Anything Goes' Challenges very often, so when we do I look for projects we wouldn't normally see & that have some kind of 'Wow!' factor. Clean lines, crisp folds and the little details - the seat, the 'lug nuts', the headlights...this is fabulous!


Thanks for a fabulous challenge!

If you would like to be considered for a DT Fave create your card following the guidelines and theme of the challenge, take well lit pictures and show us your best work!

 Please visit the Challenge Rules for specifics. Thank you for your consideration!

And now on to our
Design Team Favorites
where the Design Team chooses one of your cards and gives YOU a creative high five!


DT Penny | #142 Twisted Witch
I liked that you used non tradition colours in your card and the attention to detail is beautiful. Adding the snow over the image completes it well.



Love this, beautiful rich colours great design and colouring. Love the clean design with no fuss.
I love everything about this card. There's so many beautiful details that are perfectly combined into a harmonious creation. And your colouring is so stunning! 


Love the non-traditional colors of your card, Mary! The foiled letters on your background paper, the layers of the poinsettia and frame all work well together. It's so refreshing to see a well designed card  that I'd like to CASE that didn't involve 20 minutes of coloring!


Thanks for a fabulous challenge!

Art by Mi Ran!




Hello! I am Mi Ran artist and owner of Artbymiran.
I was born in Seoul, South Korea. I grew up with Korean and Japanese Manga. In my childhood, I loved drawing and making my own little stories. I moved to Canada in my late 20s, where I reside with my husband.

I have worked on a variety of publications, ranging from children's to contemporary adult genres. I have contributed as an artist and colorist. I also worked as a graphic artist and layout designer for non-comic publications. For several years I was able to share my passion through teaching art to elementary school aged children. These experiences have influenced my recent artwork.

I am excited to have been kindly received into the community of digi stampers and crafters.



I love to share my art. I love thinking of new images, and it’s so fabulous to see others take them and make them into beautiful works of art.


You can find Artbymiran images at my Etsy Shop http://www.etsy.com/shop/artbymiran

My designers' creations can be seen on my blog http://www.artbymiran.blogspot.com/
