Mojo Monday 133





It just so happens that I have every Monday off. What a fabulous thing because my Sunday is really my Saturday! But, my day is usually so packed with stuff to do that it's not really a day off. The stars came together for me today though. Pilates teacher cancelled class, hubby went food shopping Saturday and massage rescheduled for Thursday. I know, woe is me, but I really enjoy just staying home sometimes, you know what I mean? So...what a great excuse to challenge myself with the Mojo Monday Sketch! I had been following along with the sketch for a long time, but figured I didn't have a blog so I never participated. Well, no excuses now so this is my take on the challenge.
I used, again, Story of Us dp by atd. I also used Patterns Pack II by SU, which I purchased over a year ago and never used. For the sentiment, I masked the "Enjoy Life" and heat embossed over the top of it so there wasn't so much business around the words. I sponged the inside with gray ink while the paper was still in the die and added some bling. Lots of layering in this card but I think it really adds to the elegance.

Thanks for checking in!
