Hey my sweet stampin’ peeps!  How is everyone doing?  I hope you have had a great week.  It’s Friday and that means it’s time for CREATIVE JUICE.  Are you enjoying CREATIVE JUICE?  Are you ready for Week #4?  Good!  Here we go!

I’m really enjoying playing around with sketches again and the CREATIVE JUICE series.  It has kind of given me that shot in the arm I was needing this week too.  Yep, my stamping mojo took a bit of a hiatus earlier this week but when I saw today’s sketch, I created a card that came together beautifully.  Mojo is BACK!

Let me share this week’s inspiration….

• Get creative with your color combinations.  
• Those squares could be any shape you want – hearts, circles, flowers, anything!

You can print out the sketches each week OR you can save them to your computer. By doing this you will have sketch ideas at your fingertips, whenever you need them.  Just click the pic to download or print it.  Remember, you can always find them here if you go to the ‘Categories’ (located on the right side bar) and click on CREATIVE JUICE SKETCHES.

Here is what I came up with for today’s CREATIVE JUICE sketch…

I went masculine today and I must say, I like what I was able to create.

Masculine cards aren’t always easy but the Dapper Denim and Lemons Lime Twist in the Eastern Palace Designer Series Paper was absolutely perfect for today’s Creative Juice sketch.

I added just a touch of copper metallic thread and that gave it that little added touch.  It was an afterthought but a good one.

Here are the measurements for my MASCULINE THANK YOU card but remember, these measurements are not set in stone.  Get creative with your measurements!

• Dapper Denim – 11″ x 4 ¼”, score and fold at 5 ½”
• Lemon Lime Twist – 3 ⅞” x 5 ⅛”
• Whisper White – (2) 3 ¾” x 5″ plus 1 ¼” x 1 ¼”
• Squares – 1 ½”

Did you see that bonus $25 Stampin’ Rewards when your order is $250 or more?  Why not ask a few friends if they would like to order anything so you can bump up your order to $250 so you can earn the extra $25?  OR, snuggle up to your honey and whisper sweet nothings in his ear…then tell him that you want Stampin’ Up stuff.  Hey, it works….sometimes….not always…..but it’s worth a shot.

The cool part is there is NO LIMIT to the number of Sale-a-Bration items you can earn.  Sale-a-Bration runs through March 31st so you have a lot of time to take advantage and you can do that as many times as you want.  Order a little bit each month if you want or place that dream order and earn those Stampin’ Rewards too.

 Well, my friends, I hope that you found some great mojo inspiration today.  I think today’s sketch is a fabulous one!  Try it for yourself this weekend.  Have some fun stamping time, step outside your comfort zone, or get some ink on that stamp set that is feeling a little lonely.

Be sure to join me on Monday for a new MAKE IT MONDAY free tutorial!
