Happy Memorial Mojo Monday!

For those of us in the U.S., today is Memorial Day - a holiday when we remember those soldiers who have died in wars, and when celebrate the start of summer vacation season with barbecues, etc.  On a more personal note, the Oklahoma legislative session officially ends on the Friday before Memorial Day, which means my husband is back home full-time, and not in OKC Monday - Thursday.

 

After four long months, it's always good to get him home and get back into our regular family rhythms. Thus, I'm dedicating this Mojo Monday card to my dearest. I know he'll be so touched and flattered... ;)

First, though, let me show you this week's Mojo Monday sketch.  Because it's the last Monday of the month, you've got a choice whether to make it Round or Square:

This one's for you, Honey...

Man, do I ever love a good hot dog!  My favorites are Nathan's, and everytime I'm in the Phoenix airport, I have to have one with mustard and sauerkraut, regardless of what time it is.  Mmmm... Locally, it's hard to beat the ones from QuikTrip (a regional gas/convenience store chain).  This particular hot dog is from Paper Smooches' ALFRESCO set.  I love that Kim draws little smilies you can stamp on the food, as I am particularly fond of food-with-faces.  They just make me happy!  I wanted it to look like my hot dog was on a plate, so I used The Cat's Pajamas' Easy Rosette die, flat and embossed, then backed it with the dark gray cardstock to make it pop from the background.  My sentiment detail is the smaller Easy Rosette, flat, embellished with a button, Lemon Divine Twine, and a sentiment flag.  The 'Hot Dog!' sentiment is from The Cat's Pajamas, too.

Here's my weenie, up close and personal...

 

(Sorry, couldn't resist...)  Mr. Meyer was color with Copics and his mustard was given a coat of Honeysuckle Transparent Art Glitter by Barbara Trombley.  The patterned papers were selected to give it the homey-feel of a backyard barbecue (neighborhood - from Pink Paislee's Hometown Summer; gingham - from Echo Park's A Boy's Life; and dots - from Echo Park's Dots & Stripes, Soda Fountain.  All are 6"x6").

Després de quatre llargs mesos, sempre és bo per a ell arribar a casa i tornar als nostres ritmes regulars dels seus familiars. Per tant, li dedico aquesta targeta de Mojo dilluns a les meves molt estimats. Jo sé que ell serà tan commogut i afalagat .. m'encanta la seva targeta i el seu sentit de l'humor! Ets entusiasmat i es nota i estic molt feliç per tu! També em va semblar molt interessant els teus missatges
