This was a new challenge for me: Mojo Monday. This particular sketch is Mojo Monday Week 188. I chose to do a square card as opposed to a round card. I didn’t have the energy to try to cut a circle large enough for the card with my circle cutter! Thanks for visiting.

- Patterned papers – Memory Box “Echo” collection
- Flowers – Prima
- Button (flower center) – Basic Grey stitched brads

This card is designed using the Operation Write Home Sketch #66. Because my flower was a little lumpy, my scan isn’t the best. This is a simple sketch that works well with a fairly large image. This kitty looks very much like the “outside” cat we feed. Thanks for checking-in.
