Mojo Monday 438







So after dinner this evening my husband asked if I was planning on doing my Mojo Monday.  I was extremely impressed that he remembered how much I have enjoyed the past month or so working on my submission after dinner on Monday evenings.  Huge points for the hubby.  Now I hear a basketball game on TV.  Hmmmmm wonder if he had the game in mind all along....

This past weekend I tried the technique that created the yellow background paper for this card. I decided to attempt the technique even though my pal Vrege hasn't shown us the demo yet at our monthly card club.  The process started with rubbing a Distress Ink Pad across white card stock (in this case the ink was Scattered Straw). Next I filled a small squirt bottle with water and added a bit of Perfect Pearl powder shaking until the powder was dissolved. I placed a stencil over top the inked paper, saturated the paper with the water, blotted with a paper towel and then removed the stencil.  I then dried with the heat gun. The entire process took just about a minute or so.  Pretty happy with the result.

Mojo Monday 437

















Today was a day off from work, so I was able to get my Mojo on early!  I ran across the "Cherish" stamp recently and realized though I've had it for years, I've never used it. (I'm sure no one can relate to that!!"  The photo is of my daughter Nicole and her husband Kyle on their wedding day. Though they were looking at the photographer at the time, I think I got the better shot.

Mojo Monday 436
















Today was one of those days where I didn't eat my breakfast until 1:30 - which obviously became my lunch!  I typically try to take a look at the challenge at lunchtime so that I can begin thinking about what I would like to do.  Just before leaving the office today I was able to take a peek.  I love the circles!  When I was looking through my bug collection of stamps this weekend I came across this little buggers (yes, the pun was intended).  Glad I was able to use them this week as I think they are so incredibly cute!

Mojo Monday 435




















At 14 degrees here it is clearly still winter, but I have spring on my mind!

The purpose of this post is twofold - one to show the cute baby card - the other to see if the watermark option in Picasa works. I don't think it worked! Back to the drawing board. (or Google)

What do you do at 4:00 in the morning when you can't sleep?  Stamp of course!  Pretty happy with my early morning creation. Anyone recognize the patterned paper?  It is from a Tory Burch gift bag.

Mojo 434

This little guy just makes me want to smile!  Today it is snowing here in CT, but I thought that rain is much more cheerful. (Yes, I am in denial.)

Mojo Monday 433









I'm on a roll - two weeks in a row!  Can you guess what my favorite color is?  I was pretty happy with the vibrancy of this card.

Mojo Monday #432

It has been forever since I posted in Mojo Monday. Let's hope this is the restart of a great - and fun - habit!
