Happy Times

Boy doggie is it raining here this morning!!
Poor trick or treaters!!
Oh course when this posts on Nov 1, it might be sunny, (nope it's not)
I am a little bit ahead of the game...lol!
 
I saw this challenge sketch at "Seize the Sketch"
and saw that Mona Pendleton was their guest this week...
 
 
I have to admit, I am not very good at sketches...
my brain just shuts down, but something clicked right away....
yeah brain!!
 
 
I have this newer set designed by Mona Pendleton herself for My favorite Things...
and I LOVE the dies...I LOVE the stamps...
so pretty together, I could sit and stamp and cut these all day!!
 
Do you see the woven strip??
Can you guess what it is??
It's drywall tape...you can get it at any home improvement store...
how is that for texture??
Wouldn't it be great for all those mixed media pieces.....
 
I had fun with this challenge.....give it a try!!

Oh, I love that pretty clock! I need it in my home! I have some dry wall tape in my stamp room. In fact it has been on my mind lately, along with some of the mesh I got from Stampin' Up! years ago. Some of those things in my stamp room I need to get busy and use up. Love the look of it on your card!
