Mojo Monday contest, week #85

Hi everyone! I am feeling a little under the weather today. My oldest has strep and this morning I woke up with a sore throat and a little achy! Oh well just like her we will get over it so we just move along. (It sure does slow you down though.)

I don't know If I have told you the age of my kids, they are 26, 21, and 19. They still all live at home which I love having them here. I can't imagine what life would be with out them here. My 21 year old son is getting married in August! I am so excited! So in the future expect wedding invitations here. I will start playing with different styles soon.


Well It is Mojo Monday. The ladies over at http://mojomonday.blogspot.com/ come up with a different sketch every Monday. This week they are also doing a contest. They have some awesome prizes as well. You too can play along! They details are on their blog.

I had a lot of fun putting this card together using this sketch. The minute I saw the sketch I new exactly what paper I was going to use. I used a wonderful, and beautiful DSP. It is called Bella Bleu. It is on Page 161, of the Idea Book and Catalog. I have a lot of it because I used it to make my son's engagement announcements with it. I hope you enjoy the card.

New Blog!

Hi and Welcome. I am so excited to have started a blog. I have wanted to for so long but have been really nervous about it. I have looked at so many and you all are so great out there in blog land. I only hope that mine will be half as good.
I am a Stampin' Up demo. and have been for over three years now. I love it! I work for the greatest company!
I recently had the opportunity to go to the Albuquerque Regional with my up line Shannon Bradly and a Stampin' Up friend from Tucson, Sherry Lee. We had a great time! I learned so much. You demonstraitors are amazing in what you come up with. My up line and I are going to convention for our first time and we both are so excited! I am counting down the days.
For my very first post I wanted to share a card I recently did. I can not stop using this set. Cheep Talk. It is my favorite.
Recipe:


card stock: elegant eggplant, always artichoke, and whisper white.

ink: elegant eggplant

accessories: white, elegant eggplant, and always artichoke grosgrain ribbon, chocolate chip, and always artichoke stampin' write markers, I also use the big shot and the scallop oval frame.
