Mojo monday ..... once again

   I am in need of quite a few "Thinking of you" cards so immediately went to Mojo Monday for inspiration. I made 2 cards using this sketch and think I like it well enough to make a couple of more today. I always love their sketches! This is certainly no exception!
The awesome sketch

Here is one that I made today....

Thank you for taking a minute to stop by.
Hope today someone takes the time to make you feel special.

Family vacation!

  Well, back to reality.... but wanted to get a start on the vacation scrapbook before the responsibilities demand my time. I am so bad to jump all over the place really want to get this one done quickly. I do not have all the pictures yet so starting with this one that I got from Ashlie's facebook page. Love that I can snag them there......
  I am using the October 18th sketch at My Scraps and More Sketches. That seems to be my go to recently for sketches. I absolutely love the design team inspiration and they usually get me going on a page quickly.
 So here it is the sketch

And my take.....

I used all papers from the EP A Perfect Summer collection by Lori Whitlock.
The circles are cut from some specialty paper that was given to me by a fellow scrapper way back when I first starting scrapping. I am working on my hoarding problem and trying to use the things I love even if it means they are no longer in my stash.
The big bubbles are just punched from acrylic and inked. Really liked how they came out.
The title was created in MTC.
  Thank you for stopping in to share my vacation with me.

So very blessed

  I had to share a few of my favorite pictures from this incredibly amazing week.I can not believe that God has allowed us to have an entire week at this beautiful place. He graced us with perfect weather and beautiful views. There is no greater joy than watching my children enjoy each others company and the cousins draw closer. I am so thankful that we are making memories for a lifetime. As a parent there is nothing greater than seeing my family be able to enjoy time together.And to see my grandchildren to grow up in happy homes. So here are a few pics. I am sure that soon you will see many of them again as scrapbook pages.

I will not bore you with anymore right now.....but I will be sharing more from this amazing gift I was given.
Count your many blessings.

I just love Mojo Monday!

  This seems to be the one card challenge that I come back to when I am trying to get my groove back...... something about Mojo Monday really does help me get my mojo back. This is yet another sympathy card. I lost a very dear friend tragically right before I left on my trip and never got a card made and out. I really want to let her children know what a blessing she was to our family. I just love this sketch.....I used a cut file that I have had forever (not even sure who's it is) but I will not be using it again just impossible to match up....ugh. That being said here is the sketch

And here is my card

Thank you so much for spending time with me.

I hope for you some therapeutic crafty time today!
