chocolate & white cs
stamps...
Savvy Stamps - birthday wishes

Happy Mojo Monday!


Mojo Monday week 94 finds me playing with my Citrus Stack papers again. i still had them out on my desk from yesterday making my cards for day 127 on 365 Cards. the colours are so bright and cheery i can't get enough! if you've lost your mojo, you should check out this site and get some inspiration! hehehe!

i worked on this card for hours it seems... could be i'm getting distracted by the movies i have playing on the computer beside me - right now it's Get Smart. it's so funny i keep watching instead of stamping! i like to have background noise while i 'work' and i tend to prefer movies instead of music.


check out that cordouroy brad! isn't that the cutest thing? i wish i knew where i got them - they came in orange, blue and pink. i like to put my embellishments into craft keepers for storage, but i didn't used to keep any of the packaging so i'd know what brand my stuff is. i've changed my ways, especially since i need to put my ingredients list on by blog posts!

it's a rainy monday here in richmond, bc. but i shouldn't complain - we've had so many sunny days in a row i don't even remember when it last rained! our garden can sure use a non-scorcher. and besides, these papers are really brightening up my day! here's the sketch pic if you want to give it a whirl. enjoy and happy stamping!
