My time to craft

Yes I'm on a roll, only because I have loads of cards to make and I'm way behind!  It's funny, each Christmas I always say to myself, 'I will start making my Christmas cards in January' but do I start ..... no!  I'm still trying to catch up on birthday cards.  Oh well.  This card was made following the sketch over at My Time To Craft.

Stamp: Lili of the Valley a lick of paint, CBS a little sentimental
Ink: Archival Ink jet black and distress ink walnut stain, scattered straw, broken china, faded jeans and black soot
Paper: My Mind's Eye hattie paper pad
Accessories: buttons

Mojo Monday

I have decided to post more on here, it just can be a pain when my photos are on the main computer and I always can't get to it 'cause of my adorable cat, (he doesn't like sharing a seat!!!!) enjoys relaxing and sleeping on my chair, so I'm trying to get comfortable on a stool using my laptop. Anyways enough waffle!
