Mojo73 challenge...and lack of sleep catching up with me!

Last night I was having a rough time trying to finish up a card for the current Mojo73 sketch and TLC111 over at SCS...or so I thought the SCS was current! I saw the Reverse Masking challenge and thought, okay, it's been some time since I did that technique, but I'll incorporate it into the Mojo card. While browsing through the SCS gallery I clicked on the TLC111 cards and noticed mine was the ONLY one for this year! It was a 2007 challenge!!! I couldn't help but laugh at myself. I also realized I need to start getting more sleep!

So, here is the Mojo73 sketch (now, this I'm sure about!): And here's my card created with the ANCIENT TLC111 challenge using Our Daily Bread Designs sets: Card Recipe:

Stamp: Our Daily Bread Designs I Am The Way & On Eagles' Wings

Ink: SU Brocade Blue, Pumpkin Pie & Summer Sun, Versamark

Paper: Making Memories Chloe's Closet pad, Prism Nautical Blue, SU Whisper White & Certainly Celery

Supplies: midnight blue and clear ep, orange organza ribbon, paper piercer, Nestabilities (used for masking), sewing machine, light blue thread, foam adhesive

On a completely different topic......

Last week, my hubby came home from work and as usual, he goes through the garage. After he unloaded his work gear he told me he really needed to head to the bathroom, but neede me to do him a favor. He said he couldn't find his other set of house keys and asked if I would check the van to see if he left them there. He then proceeded to run up the stairs. When I opened the door to the van I found these: As if this wasn't sweet enough, there was a little note next to the dozen roses:
I ran up the stairs to thank him and he was standing in our bathroom just waiting for me with a big 'ol smile! I was crying like a baby. He played it off and said "Who gave you those roses?? Should I be jealous?".
To have been together now for almost 12 years (married for 8) and to still have him do things like this....I'm a lucky girl!

I think I will take a much needed nap now!
