Happy Monday! Are you ready for the first week in February? What do you think Punxsutawney Phil will determine when he looks for his shadow, later this morning? Hmmm. Not sure I personally put a lot of faith in the weather forecasts of a woodchuck, but that's just me. Large rodents aren't my thing, and I'm quite certain that if Phil or any of his brothers and sisters chose to show up in my backyard, Sweet Pea would make mincemeat out of them in nothing flat. That's just the way she rolls, and I approve.
It's the first MOJO MONDAY of the month, which means it's CONTEST TIME! For every 50 card entries, one randomly selected participant will win the VERVE stamp set of her choosing, and there can be up to 7 winners! Be sure to visit the Mojo Monday Blog for all of the details how to play along. In the meantime, here's my sample this week:
I'm still thinking about the 100 Card Challenge I mentioned in my previous post, so consider this 2/100 for Mr. Truman. I used MFT's Office Space stamp set, and I got a little slap-happy embellishing the sentiment panel with mini-staples, but still: I likey. Believe it or not, I found that hand-stitched panel hanging out in my stash, after I had created the masterboard using the stapler images. Bonus!
Here's a look a this week's sketch:
And here's yet another view of my sample (I notice fancy bloggers take lots of shots of their cards. I'm trying to be fancy...):

Thank you for stopping by, and I'll see you later in the week with some brand-new look-sees at February offerings from Your Next Stamp. Are you excited? Good! :)
This is super cute, Carole! I love both the stitching and the staples :o)

Your real life staples are the perfect embellishment! What a fun card!

Hi Carole,
BRILLIANT card, gave me such a good giggle. I have some staples I bought at our local dollar store that are colored, this would be an ideal theme to do. Thanks for showing me this neat concept!
Blessings,
Barb
