We have snow ... we have deviled eggs and sweet potatoes ... we have a trek through the snow covered countryside to join family ... we have a city water boil order due to the contents of a broken sewer main invading the city well (OK, not so much to be thankful for, but it does remind us how grateful we are for constant access to clean, running water). We do truly have so many things to be thankful for.
One of those things is time in my studio this morning ... what a perfect way for me to start my day. I decided to give Julee's Mojo Monday sketch a try using Basic Grey Figgy and Paper Studio (Hobby Lobby) vintage cardstock stickers.
Sharon's challenge this week was to focus on the things we fall back on when we need a quick card. One of mine is dressing up stickers with layers of matting. I love to stamp, but sometimes I love the quick results and artistic effect that stickers can lend to a creation.
Don't forget to focus on all of the things you're thankful for today and every day.
I truly love this!!! I love that sketch and I love your use of stickers!!! I, too, usually mat them when I use them -- that might be a great Stamp Simply Challenge for my Blog -- what would you think if I took your idea??? (credit given, of course!) I have a ton of things I could use - not necessarily stickers, but pre-printed images -- I think it would be a great challenge at this time of year when people are busy. I have my challenge set for tomorrow, but maybe the next week? Let me know your thoughts -- wonderful project here!!!

You are getting a lot of great use of those stickers, gal! I always have a hard time using them -- but you are nailing it all over the place. Great work.

Beautiful. Love how well the modern Figgy paper looks with the vintage stickers.
