I had time to do a quick MojoMonday card: http://mojomonday.blogspot.com/
today before picking up our girls from their weekend away...this was after over 20 text messages and numerous phone calls...DD2 experienced extreme homesickness, it was only her second time being away from home...and I would say her last for a while. I was happy to hear that DD1 had taken good care of her and even tucked her up into bed as tiredness played a BIG part!! It was so lovely to see their happy faces today and to have them rushing up to us arms open wide for a cuddle - awww - these moments are special!!
This is MojoMondays celebration week - they have reached their 100th challenge and are celebrating this week with a new challenge every day. This one is MOJOJANETTE and made one quick card....which is great as I have to get some made for one of the boutiques for Tuesday...so I am hoping to get a few made tomorrow....I will definitely we using this one again!
I have chalked the image and coloured the coffee mug with red glitter pen and then added Dimensional magic, to give it a more realistic look! The image has been layered onto black CS and attached to the background DP which has had layered torn CS, DP and lace. A hydrangea flower was added, which I had added flower stamens to and I finished it all off with brads.

Linda, this is SUPERB!! That paper is out of this world and your coloring of that Emerson gal is fantastic as always. I just LOVE your "old lady" cards!!! You and Anne Ryan have made me a real fan of these funny images and sayings. So much, that I want to do more of them myself. Me, the "serious" stamper??? I love that crochet lace ribbon, brads and torn paper too. You are the master here my friend!! TFS! Glad your girls are back by the way. Don't you just LOVE those kind of hugs????

Linda, this is so cute! I like the tilted image and that great edging. I was looking for some ideas and found this one. Mine is quite different, but I am finishing one that looks a bit like yours.
