Muah!

It's wednesday and I forgot to take a picture of what is on my workdesk...ah nuts... maybe later. Even better, I actually have a finished card to show you. My card today is based on Mojo Monday sketch # 160. I have had this image colored up for a while but I wasn't very happy with how her dress looked. After seeing Elaine's tutorial over at Color Me Copic for challenge # 6 -coloring clothing with copics, I decided to go back in and work on the folds of her dress a bit more and I like this finished product topped off with the Smooch Illuminate pearlized accent much better. Once I got my card together it still wasn't complete. I ransacked my stamp collection searching and searching for just the right sentiment and then I came across this one..."Muah" just went perfect with this image!

Gypsy Mojo and Glee and American Idol chit chat

When I saw this week's Mojo Monday sketch, I just knew I had to play along. I took a few liberties and flipped the sketch sideways to suit my image. Overall, I really like how the card turned out.

Chit Chat-

Did anyone else see Glee last night? Wow- Lea Michele is like Idina Menzel's clone. Great casting, their duet was amazing. I even liked Matthew and Neil's Dream On rendition and what's his name- Artie doing the Safety Dance. What great productions! I am definitely a Gleek! Next week Lady Gaga...should be really funny with all the costumes.

Idol was kind of boring. I think Lee was really great last night. He really brought something special to his second song. I think Casey is going home tonight for sure.

An'udder Birthday?

I was feeling really sleepy last night so I decided to make a very quick card. I used Mojo Monday Sketch # 127 as my roadmap.

Last month, I ordered a bunch of stamps from The Angel Company. One of the sets I picked up is called "An'udder Birthday" and it features these adorable cows. Now anyone who knows me knows that I love cows. I moo at them out the window of my card and I swear when I see them, it means I will have good luck. I even went so far as to choose the artwork that is hung on our wall infront of my desk at work.... out of 100's of painting, I chose the one with cows grazing on the side of the road. Needless to say, when I saw this set, I had to have it. Tell me Buella is not cute...I named her Buella... I don't know why. I finally found a use for my black copic marker....cow spots!

Sometimes I need a little inspiration so I decided to play along with the Mojo Monday Sketch 121:
