Always behind...

I just knew I wouldn't be able to keep up with the pace, especially since I was behind already. MojoMonday is three sketches ahead of me now... and I'm still working on the five Verve Anniversary Sketches. I am bound and determined to get through them all, plus the Mojo sketches! Regardless, here's another card for your enjoyment. This is for my Marc in honor of his birthday which was today! We had dinner with his Mom (pizza, of course). He really loved the card and insisted that I post it on my blog. I was strongly inspired (again) by Julie's card for the 5th sketch Verve Anniversary, with my own interpretation, of course! PS - I'm not doing them in any order. This weekend I hope to hold my self up at home and get caught up on things here. One thing I need to do is list some items on Etsy. I have a wonderful ATC card filing cabinet which I'll be listing. I've never seen anything like this before, so keep your eyes open for that. I also have flower frogs (like I and others use as a prop for card photos) so watch for those too. Who knows? Maybe some cards will end up out there too? I have people taking orders already.

R U Ready for Monday?

I don't know that I'm ready for Monday or if I'm going to be able to keep up with all of this activity, but I'm giving it my best shot. Here's sketch 1 for Verve's 2nd Anniversary (Happy Anniversary Verve!). Look out for a new Mojo sketch every day this week... OMG!

In case I haven't mentioned, I just love My Mind's Eye products. I went and stocked up this weekend on their new releases. Loving the Halloween and Christmas paper! I'm using one of them here, the Ooh La La paper.

Enjoy,

It's time for MOJO!

I'm working on an earlier start to my Mojo this week considering my usual late Sunday afternoon postings. It's been a dismal week at work for me, so it's been a treat to get away to make a card to share with you today. For whatever reason right now (see last post) I am lovin' the combo of the yellow/blue. It has such a summer feeling to it. For yellow, SU's So Saffron is a personal favorite of mine and I haven't met a blue that I didn't like. LOL!

Mojo Time!

After an extremely busy week and weekend, I am posting Mojomonday at the very last minute yet again. As my boss's mother passed away, I needed a sympathy card. I wanted something not at all dismal, as she passed away after a long illness. Here we have the inside of the card.



I have photos to share of our recent adventures so I will share more this week. I have to run now. Laundry is calling me!
