Hello! Today I decided to give the Mojo Monday sketch a try (MOJO135) http://www.mojomonday.blogspot.com/. I have to say this one was a little tricky for me. I really enjoyed using the paper pleating technique. This was my first time using that technique on a card and I love the dimension it gave the card.

When looking around on splitcoast today I noticed a posting about the retiring colors from Stampin up for their new catalog release. I think there are a lot that people will be sad to see go. However, this time around they are bringing back previously retired colors like WILD WASABI and BAJA BREEZE! I am jumping up and down as I loved these colors!!!

They also have announced the new "in" color names:

Daffodil Delight

Cajun Breeze

Early Espresso

Cherry Cobbler

and

Marina Mist

I can't wait to see the color swatches for these.

I might go and try to work on the Stamping Bella sketch for today...it is anything for Mother's day.

By the way, does anyone have any blogs that have fun sketch challenges to participate in?
