Mojo Monday 123

Oh my gosh I totally missed Mojo 122.  It seems like I come home from work and just vegetate.  TV has been inbetween seasons so I've been watching reruns of Criminal Minds which I never watched before this month.  They are pretty interesting....  Anyway, here is Mojo 123 sketch:

Mojo Monday #121

OK, this is my first Mojo Monday that I actually posted to the Mojo site.  It is Mojo Monday 121.  Here is the sketch:

My friend Karen (the one who got me into stamping) has a birthday coming up this month and so I decided that this year I would make the cards for my loved ones instead of swaps!  Seems I never get to make cards for those I really want to make them for.  Anyway, here is my card from this Mojo sketch:

The inside says "It's Your Birthday!"
