I loved doing this weeks Mojo Monday sketch for two reasons...the first reason is that it is a beautiful design. I love anything with scallops. I thought that the CTMH Bliss paper was a perfect fit for this sketch. When I was putting it together, I first tried to incorporate 4 different coordinating papers from the paper pack but it looked too busy. I decided to keep with one pattern for the background. The second reason I was excited to do this sketch is because it is a contest week. It is a goal of mine to win just once. Do I think this is worthy to win? Probably not because I didn't spend a lot of time on it (which is why I love doing the Mojo sketches) and it really isn't as involved or pretty as some of the other entries, but I have to at least try. I would love to win a Verve stamp set to adorn my entries, but for now I used a scallop rose in place of a saying. I think it turned out cute anyway. All supplies Close to my Heart: Bliss Paper packet, Kanji phrases stamp set, chocolate paper, chocolate ink, colonial white ribbon, colonial white brads, Mocha opaque pearls.
