Yes, I'm still using the Mojo Monday Sketch. I am determined to win this challenge and I'm also going to dust today (maybe in my dreams!) Yesterday I received Gerde's June Digi and my first thought was 'the gingham dog and calico cat'. I did a little research because I couldn't remember the poem about the two. It's not a very pleasant poem, as the dog and cat in the poem tear each other to shreds. Rather than going to the dark side with my card, I decided to make it a happy card suitable for any number of occasions.
I scalloped the bottom edge of the front card base to blend the embossing pattern, rounded corner of the sketch and the scalloped square. Then I also added a green scalloped edge to the inside of the card base so it would show at the bottom and to liven up the inside a bit. The dog, cat, and heart(a CTMH stamp) are all paper pieced. The front sentiment and bling are CTMH. I added whiskers to the cat with a fine marker. (All cats have whiskers, except one of my childhood pets who fell victim to my scissors. I started crafting at an early age, not always successfully.) My I'm feeling witty! My apologies.
Here are the challenges I am entering today:
Crafting by Designs Challenge - Anything Goes
Shopping Our Stash Challenge #154 - Critters
Sailing Pineapple Challenge #5 - All Creatures Great and Small
Cutie Pie Challenge #70 - Emboss It, but keep it Cute
Digi Makeover Challenge #143 - Anything Goes
Digi Sketch Challenge- Sketch and/or Theme...Use a Stamp
Love to Scrap Challenge #31 - Mind Your Banners!
Perhaps dusting would bring me luck. I could give it a try. The worst that could happen is that I'd obliterate an important note or phone number written on one of the tables.
OK so I dusted, vacuumed, and mopped the kitchen floor. Then made fish for dinner so my house doesn't smell like Spic and Span. Maybe tomorrow I'll make a few more Mojo cards to increase my odds of winning. Nah, enough is enough. Mom and I are headed to the mall!
