The Play Date Cafe & Mojo Monday



Happy Monday, everyone!  What have you got planned for the week ahead?  Hopefully the weather around here will start to warm up soon because I am plain tired of this cold and snow...SPRING - where are you???

When I got home from work today, I immediately sat down to make a card for this week's Play Date Cafe color challenge because it is one of my favorites - the color splash - and this week we get to choose which color we want to use for our 'splash'... I decided to go with yellow since I'm SOOOO ready to see the sun!

As always, Julee has given us another AMAZING sketch over at Mojo Monday - I still wonder how she does it week after week with sketches, challenges, designing new releases and she still has time for a "life?"  It boggles the mind... :)

Here you go - sorry for the picture quality...it is SOOOO hard to take pictures of mostly white cards.  Anyone have any tips or tricks to make that easier???

Stamps: 1 Peter 5:7 (Verve)  Ink: Versafine Onyx Black  Paper: Basic Black, Whisper White, Daffodil Delight, Basic Grey Basics White paper pad  Accessories: Clear embossing powder, chipboard swirls, Basic Black satin ribbon, Daffodil Delight satin ribbon, paper piercer, Nesties, Scallop Edge border punch, Square Lattice embossing folder, adhesive pearls

Thanks for stopping by today - I am off to pick the boys up from school and then we are heading to town to have supper with DH's family.  His brother is in town from Vancouver for a few days and we haven't seen him for over a year so that should be fun for everyone.  :)  Enjoy your Monday!

Fabulous take on the mojo sketch I will most likely pass on LOL! Lovely B & W with a touch of yellow. Tell your brother to bring some AB sunshine home with him (sans the snow of course LOL!). Enjoy your family time :)
