Happy Birthday Skunk :)

This JOY Fold card is so easy and lots more fun than the one fold cards sometimes. I made this Birthday Card especially for Craftin Desert Diva's Linky Party!

for the clear mount.

The matching Stampin' Up punch is called Artisan Label item 130920.

Inside birthday sentiment from Wetlands Stampin' Up stamp set
item 126695 for the clear mount.

Mojo Monday Card

Hello all my bloggy and crafty friends! This is going to be a great week. We tried to work outside last weekend, but the rain was so determined. At one point, another Flash Food began, but it didn't get nearly as bad as the last time. Whew! Tom was able to get the brick posts started for the side fence and gate. He would have gotten it completed, but the rain lasted longer than the sunshine.

Today I made a very simple card for the Mojo Monday challenge. Hope you'll enjoy it!
