Happy Monday! Actually, as I write this, it's Sunday night at 11-something p.m. CST. I stayed up late to watch Game of Thrones and the finale of Celebrity Apprentice (can I just say how much Aubrey O'Day makes me cray-cray? She and I would come to blows if we were on the same season. Of course, I've turned Donald down every year he's approached me; I figure it's good karma to give those fading stars the opportunity. I hardly need the extra exposure, what, with all the traffic I get on this here blog... ;) ). I still have an episode of Mad Men to catch up on - thank goodness for DVR. I don't know how a TV-lovin' gal like meself ever survived before it!
Ready to see this week's Mojo sketch? Here you go...
And here's what I did with it, using the adorable new AYE,AYE CAPTAIN set from The Cat's Pajamas:
Mr. Bunny is so Renaissance, don't you think? There's nothing he can't do, including row, row, row his boat. He was colored with Copics on Copic X-Press Blending cardstock, and his waves were created using TCP's WAVE CutUps die. The side life-preserver side embellishments were made using images from the set, coloring them in, and then backing them with a bit of hemp before popping them up on foam boosters. See...
The little paper-flag/brad corner embellishment is something I improvised because I thought that corner of the image panel looked a little empty. I like how it turned out, though - hopefully I can remember that for future use. ;)
Ready for more inspiration? Then look no further than my fellow Mojo Makers to see how they interpreted this week's sketch:
Of course, you'll also want to visit the Mojo Monday Blog to get all the details of how to participate in this week's challenge.
It may be morning (or so) when you read this, but it's purty late as I type, so you'll forgive me for being a party pooper and cutting this a bit short. I'll make up for it next time - promise!
Sweet card, beautiful and funny image.

Oh Aubrey and I would come to blows - but I also wouldn't be able to tolerate LL's horrid mouth-she's funny, but she can be downright MEAN!
Were you happy with the winner? I liked them both; but was hoping CA would win! :D
