Mojo Monday #454

Happy Sunday afternoon crafty friends! I hope y'all are having a great weekend!

We spent last night at my parents house having a cookout, playing some

corn hole, and lighting off some little fireworks. We had a fun time! Little man

didn't seem to mind the fireworks. The ones he didn't like were ones

that had a high pitch, like a squeal. The big booms didn't bother him in the slightest.

He's been a bit grumpy the last few days. Eating more and wanting to be

held often so wondering if it's a growth spurt... That's why I haven't had a chance

to make any cards this week until today. He is sleeping soundly in his

Rock N Play next to my desk. I was able to get a card made for the current 

Mojo Monday challenge that I want to share with y'all!

Viva la Verve January week 1

Good evening my crafty friends!! Wow I have been MIA for far too long! 

I feel I should explain myself.... Morning sickness aka all day sickness is for the birds!

On a bright note, we will hopefully have a healthy and happy Baby Boy in May!

His name is going to be Elias which is a version of Elisha or Elijah and it means 

Jehovah is God or Jehovah is our God. So anyways I had a very trying first

trimester and it took everything I had to get out of bed and go to work. Since then,

the past couple weeks have been better. Still tired as all get out, but I am finally starting

to want to get my mojo and motivation back for crafting!!

So here is my first card in about a month! I followed the January week 1

sketch from Viva la Verve. I loved what Lesley had done with her flowers 

Here, so I decided to give it a try with my new Zig Clean Color Real Brush markers.
