I forgot to mention our good Steelers news yesterday. We always go to a local bar to watch the game with a bunch of other Steelers fans. They do raffles during all the games of some great Steelers stuff. At half-time, they draw 5-6 names and at the end of the game, they do one final raffle and it is always a authentic Steelers jersey. The very first game, we won one of the prizes at half-time - a tee shirt and a Steelers gnome. Well, yesterday we won the Steelers jersey!! It was from the 1970's team (Steel Curtain) and was of Mel Blount. I didn't even get to try the jersey on - it went straight to Sonny. It still had the price tag on it - $300!! Pretty cool, huh?
Today I made a card using the Mojo Monday sketch. It's been a while since I did one of their sketches. I had picked up this stamp a couple of weeks ago at H. L. and hadn't inked it yet. I think it worked very well in this sketch.
I turned the sketch on it's side so I could fit all my elements in there. The ovals and rectangles are cut from Nestabilities. The DSP is from a retired SU stack that was in last year's catalog. I used my nifty Imaginisce tool to melt the bling onto the flower stem and in the center of the flower in the circle. I wrapped the brown grosgrain ribbon on one side and used sticky strip to adhere it to the card. I used the bow maker to make the bow. Don't you love the saying? Guess who I'm sending this card to!!
I bought a new laptop today and I'm so excited!! There was a really good price at Best Buy but of course, when I got there, there were none left. So, we had to order it. That's ok - I can wait. I have been using the Newcomer's laptop for two years while I have been Secretary/Newsletter. but I will be giving up that position at the end of the month (YAY! ) so I wanted my own laptop. That's what I spent my first Social Security check on!!
Fun card- lucky you- or your hubby! How cool is that!
ReplyDeleteCongrats on the win of the jersey - so exciting. I love winning things.
ReplyDeleteYour card looks wonderful, I think you were clever to turn it on the side, can definately spread things out a bit. Nice color choices too.
So exciting about your computer, you will SO love it! Your own your VERY VERY OWN and so neat you spent your social security on it.
