Mojo Monday 202


Here is my card for this week's Mojo Monday contest. I have had all of these October Afternoon 5 and Dime goodies on my desk for weeks now just begging to be used, so today was the day to get them out and create with them. I just love October Afternoon, they are one of my favorite companies, and I cannot wait till all of their new lines are available! Especially Farmhouse, have you seen that?! So lovely!

So anyway, here it is: all October Afternoon, with a Verve Hello Friend stamp, Papertrey Ink sentiment, a little May Arts ribbon and some Kaiser bling.


Thanks for stopping by, have a fantastic day!

Thank you, from my heart...

Here is a card that I made for my dear friend, Jill, who, along with my BFF, Donna, threw me the most amazing surprise birthday party this past week! It was so much fun! Apparently they had been scheming together for a couple of months to make this the best birthday EVER and they totally pulled it off! Jill is the owner of the local scrapbook store and they had the party in the basement with all of my family and friends hiding down there waiting for me, and they all gave me Stamping Bella stamps as gifts. (based on a crazy dream I had--and then forgot about--a couple of months ago!)

So, this card is to tell her that I really appreciate her and all of the effort that she went to to make my day so very special! I based it on this week's Viva la Verve sketch:



This card is for Donna's mom who was also instrumental in making the day a success (I am told), I based it on a Viva la Verve sketch from July:



And, finally, here is the card I made for my best friend Donna based on the Shabby Tea Room Challenge for this week:



Thank you to all who made my birthday so special, whether by helping or by coming to be part of my big day, it meant so much to me!

Thanks for stopping by today, have a wonderful day!
