Doomsday Stamping

Good Monday morning!  Ready for the start of another week?  They're coming down, fast & furious, aren't they?  But for the fact that I have a ton to do before Christmas, I'm ready to say goodbye to 2012 and welcome 2013. Of course, if the Mayans have their way, we're goners on 12/21, but I tend not to buy into any of those doomsday predictions. Nostradamus-shmostradamus! I did watch a couple of epidsodes of "Countdown to the Apocolapyse" on the History Channel yesterday, however.  Preppers are stocking their bunkers and I'm stamping while Rome burns...

Want to join me?  Then a perfect way to start is with the brand-new MOJO MONDAY sketch, drawn by yours truly.  Take a look:

And here's what I made with it, using an adorable new a la mode (DRAWN BY MY NIECE!) from My Favorite Things, SPARKLING SEASON, and a lovely sentiment from Waltzingmouse Stamps' COMPLIMENTS OF THE SEASON set:

Here's a close-up of the sweet gal and her big, Stickles-covered ornament:

And the sentiment, for those of you who'd rather not squint and put your face close to your computer screen:

Carol, I didn't realize your niece was ALM artist, I love those gals, your niece is very talented.
Love your card as always and I'm hoping you're right about the doomsday thing cause I've got a lot stuff I'd still like to do and a lot of craft supplies are going to go to waste.
