MOJO122

When I first started stamping, I came across the Mojo Monday sketches and Julee Tilman.  She's not just a card maker, but has her own line of stamps too.  Crazy talented, she is!  I just don't know how people can keep coming up with different sketches.  Amazing!  When I am short on time, I like to pop over to the mojo site and see what the sketch is.  It is so much easier to put a card together when I don't have to come up with a card layout!  I adore Mary Fish, and this is her sketch.  So, I had to try it.

Here is my take on the sketch.   I got into my new pack of Sweet Pea DSP and picked out some paper. (That pack of paper is huge! Some of my pages now have drool on them.  Purdy stuff.)  Go figure, it's the first time that Crushed Curry has appealed to me.  I had to use my new daisy die cut as well.  The saying is retired, but I really like the sentiment, and it fit the card.  Here's the inside of the card.

Really, Life IS meant to be lived with intention. This I truly believe, and I try to live each day with an awareness and a gratitude toward each moment.  I'm not always successful, but I I'm in there working at it!

As an aside, I watched two movies yesterday.  It's complicated I watched at the theater with my hubby (we were on a date {giggle}) and then in the evening I watched Julie and Julia. Guess I was in a Meryl Streep kinda mood.!  Two very good movies and very different from one another except for the fact that Meryl's character was a foodie in both.  I recommend them both if you have not yet seen them. But the reason I mention this is that in Julie and Julia, the character of Julie writes a blog.  She of course became famous and now has a movie based on her experience with her blog.  How interesting would a movie about a card maker, blogger be? Hmmmm? HEY, WAKE UP!  Yeah, you're right...not so interesting.  Guess I'll have to find my fame elsewhere! :-)

Thanks for popping in to check on me.
