Well I will be posting some photos soon of some of the places I have been to in the last few days but for now seeing as it's Monday again...here is my submission to Mojo Monday!!

This is this weeks sketch 157

I used Creative imaginations papers, MS punches & deckle cutter

...distress crackle paint and distress stickles on the heart.

I stitched the card on my sewing machine, blended distress ink on edge of card
and finished off with button embellishments and peeloff.

So it has given me a real boost to try again the next time this call goes out!! Hope you like the card anyway. It was made with My Time Made Easy digital papers and stamps.  x x x
