Only today and tomorrow left at work. It’s a good thing too because work was a little irritating today. Sometimes it’s nice to be appreciated for the things that you do that aren’t your job (which encompasses most of my day) and I do a lot of those. Needless to say today I had one of the unappreciated moments. Like I said, two days left! Luckily I didn’t have much going on last night so I was able to have my craft therapy for a good 3 hours! Heather stopped by around 10:00 for a bit and I was up way too late again, oh well! LOL! How is your week going?
One of the cards that I made last night is for this week’s Mojo Monday sketch challenge…
That Julee Tilman comes up with some really great sketches! I used one of my favorite stamp sets from the new catalog, one of the images that I haven’t used yet! My card for today starts off with a base of Basic Black Card Stock and the background is a piece of Blackberry Bliss that I embossed with the Large Polka Dot Textured Impressions Embossing Folder. Next up is a piece of Gold Foil Sheet. The strip of paper going down the right is from the Back to Black Designer Series Paper Pack and I used some more Gold Foil Sheet that I punched with the Scallop Edge Punch along the right side. For the square I used the Squares Collection Framelits and my little marker trick with the Blackberry Bliss Stampin’ Write Marker. I ran it though the Big Shot again with the Circles Collection Framelits to notch out the lower right corner. The flowers on the square and the greeting are from the A Happy Hooray Stamp Set and are stamped in Blackberry Bliss. I punched the greeting out with the 1 3/8″ Circle Punch and tucked it into the square. I like the way it lets what’s behind it peek through and the Back to Black DSP is great! I do hope that you enjoyed my card for this week’s Mojo Monday sketch challenge and thank you very much for spending some time with me today! Enjoy your Thursday and I’ll see you back here tomorrow for my favorite day of the week! 🙂
