Cold & Dreary.

Posted by Michelle on January 28th, 2009 . Filed under: Uncategorized .

It was bitter cold yesterday – 12 degrees which is nasty cold for us. Just walking from the front door to the car all of 20 steps had me shaking it was so cold. So, cold and depressed – man, that is just not a good combination. But hey – instead of emotionally eating, I am learning to deal like a big girl and just focus my thoughts on to other things: like cards! 🙂


I made this set of an altered composition book and altered mailbox for the lovely Miss Molly. She got it in the mail yesterday so it’s OK to post it here now 😉 I go through phases where I love doing these projects…and then other times I dread them. But this weekend, I really had a good time making this for her – maybe because she’s just the sweetest thing so I had some of that loveliness come across me as I was creating.

I made this card for Julee’s Mojo Monday challenge. The challenge was a sketch and it was on a square card. Now, I don’t do 5×5 cards because….um…I just don’t? Probably because I don’t have any 5×5 envelopes, and if I did, they cost extra postage anyway – even though most of my cards cost extra postage because of the stuff that’s on them, but anyway. So I made a square card and followed the sketch – I just made what I’m calling a “mini mojo” – this is a 3×3 card – and I do have little envelopes for it!

And last but not least, this is a card that I submitted to a site today to be on their Design Team. I really want to get on a DT. Most of them you send samples of your best work, but this one gave you a sketch to see what you could do with it – and this is what I came up with. I really like this card actually. I wasn’t sure I could pull off the Ripe Avocado on it, but I rather fancy it the more I look at it – and isn’t that bow adorable?

Hope you’re happy and staying warm, Girls!

Thanks for popping in for a visit.

    What BEAUTIFUL creations Michelle. And, what a sweet gift you sent Molly. I especially love the card you made for the DT submission. They would be CRAZY not to accept you.

    BTW – my composition book was the envy of my work – yes, I did take it becuase I knew they would want it – is that mean? Oh well – it made me smile!!
