Mojo Monday #89

Look what was waiting for me when I get home today... my new sets from Verve!! So, I checked my e-mail this morning and found the tracking information for these bad boys. Imagine my surprise when I saw they arrived this morning... in MA... from Idaho... where they were ordered on Friday afternoon!!!! Talk about great customer service!! Well, in addition to the customer service, the stamps are so cute!! They are pretty deeply etched and give a really nice impression! So, I used the new Up, Up and Away set for this week's Mojo Monday sketch challenge.

This card was heavily influenced by this card from Jen Del Muro. I read Jen's blog every day and love her work!! I can't believe that tonight... besides dragging myself to the gym... I used Pacific Point!! Generally I'm not a fan of the bold bright family and I feel like Pacific Point is similiar. But I thought it would work well here. The sketch seems to call for a differentiation between the top and bottom... instead of using patterned paper, I stamped the little curlicue in versamark and stamped along the bottom. I like the way this card turned out!

Bloodshot Owl!

I only have 1 hour to shower, get ready and GET to work BUT.... today is the last day for the SOA challenges, Julee Tilman had a great sketch that I hadn't tried yet AND my stamp area was all clean for once and begging to be used!!

So, I had to make this card!! I've been on a total owl kick lately!! I colored this guy from Cornish Heritage Farms in w/ Copics. I was rushing when I realized I had colored in the whites of his eyes!! So, I erased w/ my colorless blender pen which worked fairly well but now he looks a little bloodshot! I thought, in that case, I will add a sentiment about needing caffeine or something!!

A pretty quick and simple card but a great layout that I want to use again when I have more time!!! Speaking of Julee's sketches, I bit the bullet and put in a Verve order!!! So excited!!!

49 minutes... gotta run!!! Thanks for looking!!!
