It was a happy mail day yesterday, and I couldn't wait to play with some of the new goodies! I turned to one of my favorite sketch challenges, Mojo Monday, for a starting point. The designer papers are from My Mind's Eye's new Hazel paper pad, part of the Stella & Rose line. The branch and sympathy sentiment are both from Verve's Forever In Our Hearts set. The sweet bird is from Prima. The ribbon and trim treatment consists of some ivory crochet trim, brown trim and some light aqua satin ribbon. Sponging, distressing, stitching ... my usual extras.
Here's the Mojo 180 sketch I used ...
Hope you're having a great week! I've been off by one day all week long. Up until yesterday I was a day ahead and then all day yesterday I was thinking it was only Tuesday. Go figure! Hopefully I'll recognize the weekend when it gets here. I'd better! :D
