Mojo Monday #405

Good morning crafty friends! Hope y'all are having a great week!

We have had a few lovely, cool days this week. I believe yesterday's high was

73. I can dig that for July! Before I head out to work this morning I 

wanted to share a card with y'all that I made last night. I followed the current

sketch from Mojo Monday. I am also entering this card into 

the current challenge over at Wordart Wednesday.

Try Stampin on Tuesday #226

Good morning Try Stampin on Tuesday fans! I hope y'all are having a great

week so far! I got to be one of the first to see my new nephew 

yesterday! We was 19.5in long and 8lbs. His name is Jesse Michael. They 

picked the name Jesse after David's father in the Bible. Jesse means

"God's gift" which is so perfect for him as my S and BIL have had some hard

times trying to have the two precious children they now have.

Here is a pic of Jesse with his big sister Violet (she is 2.5 yrs old)

She loves him so much already! It's so adorable!

Well on to this week's new challenge. It is a sketch and a twist:

Twist: Use brads

You can use the sketch, the twist, or both!

Here is my card using the sketch:

Viva la Verve July week1

Good morning crafty friends and happy Monday! This is my last day off of my lovely

4 day weekend! It's nice to have one of those every so often. Do you know 

what is even better about today than the fact that I have off?! My nephew is being

born today!! I can't wait to see him! My SIL's c-section is scheduled at 2pm

today. Later will be able to go to the hospital and see them! I can't wait to see what my

little 2.5 year old niece will think of having a little brother!

Before I get to cleaning and then getting ready for the day I wanted to share a card

Mojo Monday #404

Good morning crafty friends and happy Independence Day! May we always 

remember the sacrifices of those who made it possible for us to live in a country that has

 more freedoms than most! There have been some things in the past few years 

that out country has done that I feel don't align with what the founding father's had in 

mind, but that being said, I still wouldn't trade this country for another!
