Well hello there! It's Wednesday already! How the heck did that happen? Dang it this week is flying by! My new job is great and I'm tired from learning and meeting people and having a new routine. But it's not a bad tired. Just an overwhelmed tired. It's all good! I came home from work tonight thinking "I need/want to make a card and get a post up before American Idol." Well...I sat in the craft room and stared at the wall. Then I emptied the trash. Then I put away some stuff. And no idea came to me. Then I went on Pinterest. Then I started blog hopping. And no idea came. Then I made a card. I totally didn't like it. I put it aside. Then kitty came in and sat on my table and said "Momma Idol's on now!" But I perservered....and came up with a creation using a new Lawn Fawn set that hasn't been inky yet. I rather like this one! Hee hee. So I thought I was going to have NO mojo, but it just turned out to be SLOW mojo. Hope you are having a great week!! Thanks so much for coming by to see me today. I'm sending a little love your way...
I made a bunch of little letters to come spilling out of the mailbox. Easy-peasy to cut them out. I stamped them all and then put little hearts on them with my Copic marker.
Here are my supplies:
My Copics - just three this time around...
My little letters all ready to cut out.
This is where Mr. Buddy came in and plopped himself right into the middle of the mess!! You can see Ryan Seacrest in the background! Buddy likes me to sit on the couch so he can sit on me...didn't want me to stamp any more tonight! What a character.
I popped some of the letters up on foam tape and put others directly onto the paper. I cut a slit in the mailbox with my exacto knife and put the two letters in the top part.
There you have it....sending love your way tonight!
Wish my mojo was as fantastic as your slow mojo! =:-) Adorable card, I've been eyeing that stamp set at the lss! Such cuteness!!

You're so funny Wanda! Slow mojo is better than no mojo. I'm glad to hear that the new job is going well. I hope things slow down for you and you settle in. Your card is fantastic, I love all of the envelopes and your great color combo!

I love this card! What punch or die did you use for your scalloped border? I've been cutting scallops free hand, but I think I'd like a tool. Also, do you have a trick for lining things up when you use border punches?

Oh Wanda - that is simply DARLING! Love the sweet color scheme and those little tumbling letters! I totally know what you mean about being tired. I'm in week 5 and still exhausted! It's a good tired, but WOW, tired!! Happy Thursday!
