Mojo Monday - Home Sweet Home Card Using Cricut Art Philosophy Cartridge

Hi creative bloggers!  I finally finished my card for the Mojo Monday 238 Challenge.  It was very challenging for me.  I have no depth perception and cutting a straight line or lining things up is a big challenge even with all the gizmo's I own to help me.  I was born blind in my right eye and I think that is why I have such a challenge with straight lines; but it could be just me - not the eye!  HA!!

Here is my card for the Mojo Monday 238 Challenge using the sketch they provided this week.  I had to remove the scallop and circles on my first card as the colors didn't quite look right and start over again.  So here is my second attempt to create this card.  I hope you enjoy this. 

Here is the sketch from Mojo Monday 238 Challenge for this week.  I used a 6 1/2 x 5 white base card from Recollections, cut the scrap page to 6 x 4 1/2, then cut 9 rectangles sized 2 x 1 1/2. 

I just purchased a retired CTMH stamp set called "Chair To You".  I love CTMH stamp sets as they are very clear and the sentiments/words are easy to read when using them.  They also clean up very nicely, especially if you use the "Double Scrubber" with "My Acrylic Spritz Cleaner".  You will enjoy your stamps for years if you use this cleaning method for all your stamps.  I used a tag on CTMH Art Philosophy Cricut Cartridge with a little house already cut out on it.  Here is the close up of the chair and the sentiment. I just love this stamp set.  Isn't that tag so cute with the little house cut out of it?

Thanks so much for stopping by my blog and for leaving a comment.  Everyone appreciates comments on their blog.  I hope my card inspires someone else to at least try doing something you are not comfortable with creating and do the best you can do despite how it turns out.  There is usually someone who likes it and if not - you tried something that was challenging for you.  It doesn't really matter if anyone else likes it or not.  Have a fantastic day and remember - Keep on creating!!
