Because I want to...

Tonight, I decided to make a card simply because I found a challenge and wanted to make a card for it! This card is somewhat of a deviation for me, as it is very out of character for me to use so many inks and elements on one card! Of course, as is my norm - it still is apropro for ALOT of other challenges besides the one that inspired it!

The challenge that got me started was from Stamping Vacation, and is called "State your State". I used the state butterfly as my jump off point, and then apparently went mad! ;) Hope you'll let me know what you think of my card!

Cowgirls Sunday Stampen : Anything Goes

Monday, Monday...

"Monday, Monday, so good to me! Monday Mornin', it was all i hoped it would be!"

     Alot of people are a bit adverse to Mondays -and why not since they often mean a return to another mundane workweek right? Blah. Here we go again. Back to working for a boss who doesn't appreciate me, back to the humdrum place I gotta go to get a paycheck. Sigh.

     Well, I choose to see Mondays alot different than most folks! To me, Mondays are a fresh day to start over everything and I'm always excited to start anything anew! I mean, put it this way - Each Monday morning you get a magic eraser to erase the chalkboard of last weeks lessons. Seriously, imagine if all the little screw ups and catastrophes that everyone has from time to time could magically be set right with a few sweeps of the eraser!? How cool would that be?

     Yeah, yeah...so the chalk dust would hang around and cause your allergies to act up. And of course someone would eventually have to clap those erasers clean too right? But so what?! You'd still have a fresh slate to draw upon again and maybe you could right a few of the wrongs while you're at it! Beside- if all else fails you can always take your chalk and draw a masterful picture of your archnemesis and add horns and a mustache! Now that thought should have at least made you crack a smile! If not, put down the hammer and re-read this after you've had some coffee...and maybe a xanax or two!  In the meantime, I'd better get off my soapbox, and get to work myself!

Today is Marvelous Monday over at Shelly's Images! Each Monday a new digi is featured in the Shelly's Images online store and this week is no different! The card I have made below showcases this weeks fantastic image, 'Island Life'! Why not head over to the SI Store now and check it out along with all of the other fantabulous digis available!

This card is apropro for and may have been entered into the following challenges:

Can we pretend it's Monday?

Yes! I know it is Wednesday today, but this past week has been a hectic one! In fact, it has been *SO* crazy, I wish we could just start it all over! Since too much time has passed, (and some of you wouldn't wanna give up last weekend!), I think I'm just going to pretend it is MONDAY today!

On Mondays, everyone on the Shelly's Images team is DELIGHTED to share their creations using one of the many UBER COOL digis available in the SI SHOP! The image I've used on my card below is called Jill Swings, and is available in the SI SHOP now! Best head over there now and see what image is on sale in there while you are at it!!
