The second thing I'm beating is the deadline over at TIME OUT Challenge. Wanted to play earlier, but with the holiday prepping, and the stubbornness of Mr. Mojo, things didn't gel until today. The theme is to make a birthday card, with or without the optional twist of making it masculine. Done and done! This one goes to Joe, our second oldest son, and the younger of the twins. I first made one for his twin, Tom, but it pretty much sucked (thanks Mr. not-so Mojo!), so I'll redo his later. Joe's actually turned out.
And I want to convey my sister Sue's thanks to you for the wonderful wishes on her birthday. She was so touched by your kindness! I'll add my thanks too. You're the best!
Every single piece of paper for this card came from my scrap box. Except for the Neenah white base, which you can't see. The flag shapes, and the oval shapes were all cut with my Cameo. The stamp is an old one from SU, and the navy ink is Jenny Bowlin. Some CTMH brads and that's it! And although the tan paper looks textured, it's perfectly flat. Love the look. Happy dances everyone.

Mr Mojo's cousin Monsieur Mojo has been equally difficult over here, Bev ... you've knocked him into great shape here though! Such cool stripes, brilliant colours ... and that tan paper ... wow ... I've been tilting my head to try to see it flat but it's not possible ... there's texture everywhere! Fabulous! Anita :)
No mojo lacking here Bev! This is fantastic, I love your design! Maybe you could send your mojo buster north of the boarder because I have been slumping for weeks! :(
I guess the Mojo slump is going around. My card today is the first one in a while I've had come out right the first time. Yours looks wonderful, very masculine.
I didn't know you had twins. So do I although mine are boy and girl. Happy birthday to your sons.
Take that Mr Mojo!! You sure showed him!!! Love this card, and love that you challenged yourself to make it masculine!
Love what Shannon said! You did it! It's back! Great masculine card! Hope you had a beautiful Easter Bev....
It looks like Mr. Mojo is working just fine - this is a terrific masculine card!
Fantastic card, and such a great way to dig into your scrap box.
So pleased you got Mr Mojo to behave and play along at TIME OUT!! And with just a funky make card, I love the colours you have used. Thanks for playing along x
hahaha !! I love the way u interact with Mr. Mojo and I guess this technique works :) will have to try with my Mr. Mojo too. Love the fun masculine card u created
Well worth the battle! I love the masculine colors in the striped paper! Great call to use the tan 'what looks like textured paper but isn't'... it looks awesome with the stripes! Nice tidy 'guy' birthday label too!
Way to get Mr Mojo into line! This will teach him to mess with you! :) Great card, Bev! I love the blues with the craft. It's a perfect masculine card.
Looks like you showed Mr. Mojo a thing or two, because this is one handsome, striking card! Eye-catching and amazing (I soooo struggle with masculine card!). I think your Mr. Mojo and mine have been hanging out together, because I"m feeling somewhat slumpish of late, too. Perhaps the threat of cleaning might do the trick! Great post; great card!! Hugs~c
