My hot tea is cold....

...a sure sign that today is Monday.  

Mojo Monday Sketch # 236 had my wheels turning.  Not because it is a difficult sketch, but because I don't have a circle punch at my disposal here in Florida.  Back home (brrrr! the thought gives me chills) I could do so many thing with this sketch.  Nice job, Julie!  For now, I decided on a CAS card using a fun hat stamp I purchased recently.  

 
I bought myself a snazzy red hat on Saturday.  I had 2 very helpful gentlemen assisting me, as the red and purple hats were on the top of the hat stand.  Nice guy #1 said I didn't want one of 'those' hats because they were for 'those red hat gals'.  I told him I was one of  'those red hat gals' and the fun began.  Nice guy #2 thought the purple hat with tons of red and purple feathers was great.  I agreed but then explained that I wouldn't get as much use out of a purple hat because they are reserved for your birthday month.  Nice guy #1 was partial to a very BIG floppy red hat with BIG red flower.  It probably would have looked better on him than little old me.  The red Fedora with bling and a purple band suited me just fine.  (Miss you, Gail!)

Getting back to the business at hand....
I  am entering this card in the following challenges:
 
Crafty Cardmakers Challenge - For a Special Woman (All women are special, but this card will be going to one of my special red hat friends.)
Allsorts Challenge #351 - Birthday Wishes 
Craft Rocket Challenge #9 - Mother's Day/Female
Crafting for all Seasons Challenge #120 - 3 of something (3 red hats with red blings)

    I love this card and totally get why it is purple. I would so love to join in the fun with the red hat ladies and tried to find out about them..I know there is at least one group here in the UK as I contacted them but they sort of put me off...I will bide my time and join when they don't expect me. Thank you for sharing this with us over at Crafting for all Seasons. Sue DT
