Another Monday is here ....already! Boy, these weeks go by fast! I wish the snow would melt this quick! But things are looking better, plus degree's this week!
The sketch was tricky this week. I couldn't figure out how to do that long panel with the curved bottom. You should see how many pieces of paper I went thru, my garbage is pretty full. I wanted to use my new Basic Grey paper Marrakech as I have seen it on so many other cards and have loved it, and my new Bella stamp Happy Flowers. When I saw it on Karen Motz's blog and what she did with it, I knew I had to have it! Look at how perfect her coloring is.
I was honored to have met her this week while she was in Calgary visiting her good friend Dana. We went out for dinner with my BFF Char and had some laughs! I feel so blessed to have those ladies in my life as they are so inspirational! I wanted to bring my camera to take a picture of us but I thought that might be a bit stalkerish! LOL
Make sure you visit the Mojo blog to see the other great cards.
Ciao Bella's!
Supplies:
Stamps: Bella's Happy Flowers, Verve Beautiful You
Paper: Pacific Point, Black, Marrakech DP
Stuff: black brads, PTI black stitched ribbon, Mat Pack
I tell you...your sketches are off the chain! :)

Freakin beans this is awesome paper and design! (LOL) How do you like the new phrase - I read it on a forum recently and it cracked me up - so instead of rockin card I can say Freakin Beans LOL.
QUESTION- do you use Verve stamps? Are they crisp/clean images? Where do I go to get some if I want one? Thanks Wendy.
