Oh yes, day two of the crop was just as much fun as the first day! I love sitting there and chatting with everyone! We do have a good time and lots of laughs! Today for lunch was yummy salad pizza and then a little treat… some ice cream with lots of toppings! When I left the store at 5:00 I headed over to see my friend Chantal! I haven’t seen her in almost a year! It was her granddaughter Chloe’s Birthday so I went over for dinner. There were some more peeps there and we had a very nice time! By the time I got home it was 9:00, I retrieved Winston from my Parent’s and finished up my card for today. I had started the card at the store just stamping the background. Sometime you just need to stamp and a background is a fun way to do just that! Today I have some more ordering to do for the Stamp, Ink, Paper Store, I’m running out of room! LOL!
It’s the start of another week and that means a new Mojo Monday sketch challenge…
The base of today’s card is Neenah Solar White 110lb Card Stock. For my background I stamped the flowers and leaves from the Hero Arts You’re So Lovely Photopolymer Stamp Set in Pale Tomato, Dark Quartz, Soft Pink and Tide Pool onto a piece of Solar White 80lb. The background is adhered to the card with E-Z Runner. I then die cut a piece of Strawberry Slush with the Lawn Fawn Stitched Squares and Stitched Circles Lawn Cuts. A piece of Crisp Cantaloupe is cut out with the Lawn Fawn Stitched Circle Frames Lawn Cuts and is adhered to the square with Multi-Matte Medium. The square is then adhered to the card with Foam Tape. My greeting is from the same set and is stamped in Tide Pool onto a piece of Solar White 110lb. I flagged the right side and adhered it to the card with more Foam Tape. Finally, some Pretty Pink Posh Sparkling Clear Sequins are adhered in the upper left and lower right corners, keeping with the sketch! I love the different combination of colors for the background and the way that the sold card stock slightly mutes it! I hope that you enjoyed my Design Team card for this week’s Mojo Monday Sketch Challenge!

Beautiful colors, my fav from last year. I love the window look of this card, awesome. I had a very productve weekend, all my D duties done and playtime. Although I did not have tme to play with the new Hero arts kit, next weekend. Started new job, first day is alays the worst. But I let in two hours later and only drove 35 minutes. Better then getting up at 0500 for a 70 minute drive.
Thank you Linda! Love the colors too! I’m happy to hear that you had a nice productive weekend! Aren’t they the best?! The Hero Kit is loads of fun! Glad that you got the first day of work out of the way! Isn’t a short commute the best! 🙂

LOL! I knew what you meant! We are at that point! 🙂
Wonderful Card Justin –
I have neither the inks nor stamps or the florals like this but always admire them when talented paper artists show them off to their best. Someone is lucky to get such a pretty greeting!
Thank you so much Barb! I love the set and all of the rest of the goodies that I used! 🙂
Love your interpretation of the sketch. The vivid floral background is so cheerful, and the window is a very clever touch!
Thank you Christine! 🙂
