Mojo Monday Contest & October Riley

While I was surfing one evening, I came across this site http://mojomonday.blogspot.com/.

So I am now following the blog. I like sketch ideas and challenges, cause well...let's face it...my old brain is not as young as it used to be and it's harder to come up with my own things. So any help I can get from people willing to give it to me..I'm taking it.....that goes for money too!!! ha ha

The current sketch, the first Mojo of 2009 is a contest as well!! So I thought what the heck, I'll enter. So this is the card I came up with using the sketch they provided. I have had this great Imaginisce Paper for a while now, and my good friend Kim gave me the penguins stamps as a gift, and I still had not put ink to them. So I figured now was as good a time as any! The base card is Not Quite Navy Cardstock by Stampin' Up! The designer paper is by Imaginisce as well as the penguin stamps and the rub-ons. The scalloped punch is a Martha Stewart item - I love this punch! Anyhow, this is the card I am submitting for the challenge....who knows... it might just tickle her fancy and she might just pick mine!!! (although I have looked at a bunch of the other entries - WOWZERS!!)

Can you withstand the excitement if I post 2 items today!! Here is the October installment of my 2009 Riley Calendar. This one was fun cause there are 2 Rileys. You just can't have October without a witch....and well with my Twilight obsession...you can't have October (or any month for that matter) without a vampire!!!!! So here it is!

I hope you all have a great Saturday. I have 3 of my son's friends coming over today for a sleepover to celebrate Joel's birthday which was on Thursday.

Not sure what they have planned....they like to make their own decisions on what they are gonna do...no more Pin the Tail on the donkey, that kind of thing....so we'll see... they are all good kids so I am not worried.....just not sure how much sleep we're all gonna get!!!!

Chow for now,
