Mojo Monday #322

 

It's the first Monday of the month so that means it is contest week over at the Mojo Monday blog!  For every 50 entries, one person will receive a Verve Stamps set of their choice, to a maximum of seven winners!

Julee created this fabulous sketch which allows a whole lot of options for creativity.  You can keep it simple or go all out.  Love when you have that flexibility in a sketch, and trust you will enjoy it as much as I did!

Since I'm slightly addicted to Echo Park's 'Tis The Season paper pack, I opted to go with this fabulous, grey, snowflake paper with a candy cane striped accent panel.  I used the Rounded Scalloped Frame die and taped the back so the pieces stayed together, and then added my beloved tree die from the Winter Fun die set as well as the star die from the Scalloped Trim Trio set.  Thoroughly enjoyed using my new Martha Stewart snowflake punch too :).  It was sold out everywhere last year so I wasn't able to get it.  However, my patience paid off, because I got to use my 50% off coupon at Michael's to buy it - score!  A touch of sheer red ribbon, some bells, silver twine, bling, and my card is done.

You can check out all the challenge details over on the Mojo Monday blog and also get a chance to 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.

Another busy weekend here.  Son's soccer game Saturday was amazing.  He scored three goals and had two near misses.  The team played a wonderful game and it was very encouraging for my hubby who is the coach to be able to see them progress week by week.  The parents on the sidelines were so into the game, I think most of us forgot about the very soggy weather we had to stand in - almost LOL!   The house is now fully decorated for Christmas and I got a good dint in my Christmas cards.  The next three weeks are going to be a blitz, but I'm ready to rumble :)

Have a great week everyone!
