I hope you've had a fabulous weekend.
I stayed true to the namesake and
took part in a bit of Midnight Madness
last night and finished up today,
and here is what I've come up with:
Sort of a tricky sketch, I thought,
but after I actually started putting it together
instead of just thinking about it,
it was rather enjoyable,
like a math project for me,
trying to line up grommets and measurements...
Here's the MMSC sketch this week:
And I've also used Dutch Dare's
colour inspiration to muse off of:
In addition to those,
I will pop this in over at Stamp Something,
as their challenge is to use our favorite embellishments,
as opposed to keeping them around to gawk over perhaps?
As of late, I am loving the grommets
and organza ribbon, and as of... always,
love love love pearls!!
And of course the MS punch, who doesn't love that?
If you can, I hope you'll hop over
to see what these amazing design teams
have provided to inspire us,
along with the delicious prizes on offer.
For my card, in addition to the favorite things,
I used a freebie Mo image called Sinatra.
I am used to my cats treating my hand
like that ball of yarn, those meanies!!
I've used Prismacolors and left the image
to look "brushstroked" which goes against
everything typical, I like to blend blend blend.
The DP is My Minds Eye
and I had my first romp with this little
Smart Stitch toy I got for dirt cheap
at a scrap-yard sale.
As you may notice, I'll need some practice, lol.
Nevermind, don't look...
Thanks for taking the time to visit me,
it's truly appreciated!!

I have blog candy posted on my blog if you are interested.
Awww....this is so pretty! I was just outside snugging up one of our two yellow kittens. He would love to have a red ball of yarn! But I'm not giving him one as it would be all over my yard! :) Beautiful card! I really love it!
