Hello Sunshine - A Bit Of Monday Mojolicioiusness!

Hello everyone!

I must say I am feeling a bit *lost* without my Olympic coverage!  I so enjoy watching the games and I will readily admit to watching HOURS and HOURS of interviews, replays and medal ceremonies.  I may also be a bit biased, but I think Vancouver/Whistler/Richmond did a fantastic job hosting the games.  Many tears of joy were shed by the athletes, their coaches, the fans and, yes, even me.  :)

I was out of the house most of the day - off to endure my daily dose of torture at the gym and then DH and I made a spur-of-the-moment trip to Edmonton to do some shopping for our basement reno.  It was a nice day out but by the time we got I home, I was ready to get inky!

It is the first Monday of the month and you all know what that means - - - Mojo Monday contest time!  I said it yesterday and I'll say it again - how these ladies come up with amazing sketches for us week after week astounds me!  Julee and her team always put together such beautiful samples to inspire us on our way and this week is no exception.  Here's the sketch:

 

I found a new color challenge while clicking from blog to blog - this one will be monthly.  Dawn from Stamp Away With Me has her own store, Wplus9 Designs, as well as a new color challenge - Color Cue.  The inaugural color combo is stunning!

I had fun with this one.  My initial impulse was to do a mostly white card with a few splashes of red, turquoise (I had to use Taken With Teal - no turquoise left!), and kraft but decided against it.  Here's what I came up with:

It's a very simple card - I used Verve's Accent Notes AGAIN - only a few embellishments and bling this time around... and NO PAPER PIERCING!!  What is this world coming to???  *giggle*

I've got a couple challenges I'd like to do tonight but it *is* "The Bachelor" finale... whatever will I do?  All's I can say is Jake better not choose Vienna...GACK!  I still wish he would have let Ali come back - I LOVED her and thought she was perfect for Jake.  Oh well...

Enjoy your evening everyone!
