Christmas Blessings Mojo Style

Boy, now that I'm feeling better after surgery, the ideas for cards keep comin'!  I'm listening to those ideas and making up for lost time.   ;-)

I was inspired by the Mojo Monday sketch this week -- and it was truly a bit of a challenge for me.  I'm not sure if I love the outcome, but I'd like for you to be the judge:

I grabbed some old papers from my scrap box and threw them together.  The dots are SU, the Christmas stamps from DCWV.  I did some faux stitching with a marker around the edge.  My 13 YO thinks I did a stinky job!  Hey, I can't lift my sewing machine yet to bring it up to the craft area, 'kay??  This was the next best thing.  Sheesh.

I used a new-to-me Verve stamp, Christmas Blessings.  Beautiful font!  I think it gives an old-fashioned feel, perfect with that postage stamp paper.  Notice the postage amount?  5 cents!  That's pretty old-fashioned, too.  ;-)

I used some glittery brads from SU to secure my label die cut.  Can't quite see the shimmer, thanks to my poor lighting today.

I was also inspired by Pals Paper Arts - here's their inspiration pic:

I've captured the shimmer of the lady's scarf in the gold scalloped circle, and the colors of her vest, too.

Oh, I really enjoyed reading your comments about the experiences you've had with Volkswagen Beetles!  They made me smile.  Thanks for sharing them!
