Wondering why I am posting a St. Patrick's Day card a week late? Let me explain.... I had this card all finished and ready to go, being all excited that it was a St. Patrick's Day card to be posted on St. Patrick's Day itself as a happy birthday wish to Diva Maureen. How perfect is that! Thankfully, I woke up and smelled the coffee Sunday afternoon when I was preparing my post and was able to make a card for the right sketch! So here you go, Moe, a week late so your birthday can stretch into birthday week :)
This week's sketch is brought to us by Debbie and was a fun sketch to work with. Lots of Verve goodness on this card too: Lucky You and the matching Shamrock die set, my beloved "U" die from the I Heart You die set, and one of the banner dies from the Flag It die set. Couldn't resist using polka dots as well as this month's Verve Diva Dare is to use polka dots.
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 a fabulous weekend over on Vancouver Island visiting my hubby's parents and being able to have dinner with our old neighbours. Not to mention the added bonus of finally meeting Lesley Croghan face to face - meep! So nice to meet cyber stamping friends in real life and though our visit was briefer due to our dinner plans with friends, we had a wonderful visit :) Thank you Lesley for a wonderful visit ((hugs))!
Have a great day and enjoy the sketch!
