Midnight Mojo!

LOL! I thought it sounded great combining the two challenges I worked on through the night. I really should stop drinking so much caffeine at night because it's throwing me out of sync! I went to bed at almost 5 am and got up by 7:30 am to get my kiddos ready for school.

Here's my caffeine-induced card for the Mojo Week 87 sketch: Card Recipe:

Stamp: MFT Here's The Scoop

Ink: Memento Black

Paper: Basic Grey Urban Prairie pad, SU (Tempting Turquoise, Summer Sun), Prism Simply Smooth white, black cs

Supplies: Copics, pink buttons, black paper floss, Fiskars Threading Water border punch, Spellbinders dies (Small Scallop, Small Circles)
*****************************************************************************************

It was well past midnight and I still couldn't sleep so it was the perfect time to swing on over to the Midnight Madness blog to see if they had the next sketch up and sure enough, they did: It could have been the jitters, but it took me a while to figure out what I wanted to do. After running a few laps around my house (just kidding!) I finally came up with this:

Card Recipe:

Stamp: SU Stipple Rose, ODBD Scripture Collection 1

Ink: Versamark, black Staz-On, Tim Holts Antique Linen distress pad

Paper: K & Company Classic K Margo pad, SU cs (Chocolate Chip, Very Vanilla), Canson watercolor paper

Supplies: Gold Super Fine ep, white linen ribbon, Opalines (ODBD will soon have these wonderful pearls in the store!!!), watercolor markers, Fiskars Eyelet Lace border punch), mini bronze brads

Okay, my bed is calling me now...yawn, yawn, yawn...so I will add the card recipes sometime LATER. I'm just going to take a 5 hour nap!
