LONGGGGG Week so far.....................

Ok....so this is my winey post. Started a new job on Monday (well a new job now but went back to an old one...anyway)I'm so exhausted this is the first time in my life that I'm working 4-10's. I think once my body gets used to it I'll be fine but for now.....I'm really tired. I do have Friday's off so that is a HUGE bonus.
(Haven't even done any cards or layouts....you know I"m tired cause I love doing them)

On another note, my boss's husband died and they buried him yesterday. So all you prayer warriers please say an extra prayer for her. My heart has really been heavy for her.

Ok its late and I'm passed my new bedtime....11:00 doesn't work anymore.

Have a good rest of the week!

Is it time for another TMITA Challenge, Wow the week just goes by to quickly!

I just love this image, Nina over at There's Magic In The Air offers free digi images every Monday.  If you haven't already stopped by her blog check it out and snag the image for the week, you won't be dissappointed.  The challenge this week was to use black, orange and a color of your choice.  The color I used was green (I'm a big fan of green....my favorite color)  I didn't want to use too much so I just stacked the papers so you could see a small frame on the outside.  I'm not sure if you can tell or not but the orange has green behind them also.  I really had a lot of fun coloring this image.  I've been trying to improve every week with the shading....what do you think....Getting better???

That's all for today. Have a wonderful rest of the week.....see you in the next post.

Mojo Monday-107

There are so many wonderful blogs out there with some very talented people.  One of those is Mojo Monday Sketch blog, you can find then at http://mojomonday.blogspot.com/.  Each week offers a new sketch so this week I thought I'd try and see what I could come up with.

Here is my card.....I wanted to follow the sketch but make it original and not look like it was an exact duplicate.  So I decided instead of the circle in the middle I would add the flower without a circle background.  I also didn't want to use brads for the dots so instead I just punched holes and then added the red paper in the inside of the card so you could see the color when the card was closed.  I went back & forth trying to decide if a sentiment was needed but just couldnt find the right spot for it so it got left off.  Anyway.....thats my card.  Hope your having a wonderful week so far.
