I'm still smitten with Verve's latest release, Better Together. Simply adore the sentiments and mix of fonts Julee has put together for this set. Hmmm, hmmmm good :)
A scrap of Basic Grey paper was the springboard for my card. Haven't used these flowers from Bloom and Grow and the matching Floral Circle dies for what seems forever so it was good to dig them out again. Love the Dreamy Leaves dies which match the leaf images from Dream Big, and I just "had" to use the heart die from the Scalloped Trim Trio set as I never get enough of it. Managed to find a peachy coloured button in my stash to finish things off.
All the challenge details are over on the Mojo Monday blog and you can also view all the wonderful Mojo Makers samples. Should you wish more details on the Mojo Maker's cards, you can also visit their individual blogs noted below.
We had another very wet weekend, and it was definitely not fun weather for the soccer tournament my son's team was in. Four games in two days in the pouring rain is not my idea of a good time! The boys are okay as they are running around playing and keeping warm, but as for the spectators, let's just say it is far from ideal. Oh the "joys" of being a soccer mom - not! Life and times when you live on the West Coast LOL!
Kids are off for two weeks for Spring Break and I am looking forward to spending time with them, as well as enjoying a slower schedule, not to mention being able to sleep in on days I'm not working! Now all we need is the sun to show up!
Have a great day and enjoy the sketch!

A really stunning card.
I hope you have a wonderful time with your kids. You know I love all the pink on your card...the heart border is perfection too!
Marisa, this is soooo pretty! Love the soft colors, especially the kraft on pink and how it all pops off the black DP. Lovely!

LOL, I am glad I was never a soccer mom!!! Hope you dried out! Your card is lovely; I think this color combo is very striking!
Marissa, your card is so pretty. It's such a wonderful and soft colour combo. I love your use of the Bloom and Grow flowers along with the heart border. Sorry to hear about your wet soccer games - I hope you don't end getting sick from it.
So cheerful, great sentiment. that heart border trim is awesome.
2 weeks for spring break, lucky. Have fun.
Lovely colors! Have a fun time with the kids!
Stunning, Marissa! Again, your eye for design in bringing all these diverse elements into harmony is remarkable! Everything about this card is amazing (I think I 'need' that BG paper...and some Verve goodies...and a lottery win *grin*). Hope the rains will go away, bringing you days filled with sunshine! Hugs~c
