Peace on Earth - Sketch Challenge

Good afternoon / evening Folks!

I've found my Mojo again!  (wish I would quit mis-placing it)

The image is from one of my new stamp sets called Merry and Type.  I also used the ornament punch, Circle Punch, Square Lace Nesties Die, Eyelet Border punch, Frostwood Lodge Designer Paper, an eyelet, gold floss, and Dazzling Diamonds to accent the sentiment.

I'm trying to get myself into the Christmas season.  I have so much to be grateful for.  I have all my family back on good terms, our financial crisis is over as I have been approved by Social Security, I am now technically disabled.  Like I said, I have sooooo many things to be grateful for.

  So, if you are reading this message I want you to know that you are a very special person and I am so glad that you are in my life.  If you read my messages AND assist with Prayer requests, I wish extra blessings for you & your family.  Thank you so much.

Blessings & Inky Hugs;

I think the Mojo is Back!

So, here is a card I was in a mood to make. I think I have figured out why I "think" I've lost / misplaced my Mojo. Here lately I have been pushing myself to go above and beyond on my cards. To take them up a notch and make them better. I have been running around in circles trying to make them better and greater that all I've been doing is running around in circles with nothing getting finished or accomplished.

I have decided that for a while (unless something strikes me), I am going to start "Kiss" ing my cards. Keep It Simple S.... Silly. For the sake of being chastised for being negative against myself, I have chosen to use the name Silly instead of Stupid for this annogram.  :)

Anyway, I kept it simple & basic and I don't think it turned out too bad.  Besides, less is sometimes more.

Before Bill, my dear husband of going on 18 years was medically retired (construction worker) he still has the "eye".  He spots right off any abnormal levels with anything!  A room, furniture, signs, pictures, etc...  It drives him crazy when things are uneven.  I emboss different shapes in the background that makes the rest of the card look un-even.  With this card, he says it looks like it's not straight.  He's right, it does LOOK like it's not straight, but it is.  You've got the bottom mat embossed with lines at a slant AND you've also got the Designer Paper under the flowers, they are slanting as well.  



So, I hope you enjoyed that little story.  Ingredients used to make this card are down below as labels.

Remember, I appreciate comments and being followed.  If you have followed me and would like me to follow you, please leave a comment with your web address and I will return the favor!  :)


God Bless you and thanks for stopping by!!
