Keep On Rockin

Happy June! Sorry that my blog been a bit neglected this week. The down fall of vacation is when you come back to work it's crazy. Between fighting the jet lag and trying to catch up with work, every evening I am just whooped and all I want to do is just crawl to bed. Mojo is no where to be found. :)

Well, as much as I cross my fingers & wishing & hoping, my birthday train card didn't make it to Gallery Idol Top 20. Was I disappointed? Of course. I'll be lying if I say I am not. We all been through this. You enter a competition or you apply for a DT position and you didn't make it. It's okay to be sad and disappointed, but it's not okay to wallow on it. Always remember things happen for a reason. :) Then, we shake ourselves, we move on and we cheer on those who made it! 

I still have reason  to be super excited, though, because 2 of my besties did make it to the Top 20. Big shout out to Emily Leiphart & Emily Branch. I'll be cheering on them and all the girls and looking forward to  their creations as they are taking the challenge each week.

Now, since it's the 1st of June, it means time for a new sketch challenge from Some Odd Girl. Here is my card for the challenge:



I am loving this Rockin' Mae stamp. I think she looks pretty. And look at my background! This polka dot background is so fun. 

I hope you will play along. You have 1 whole month to create and join the fun. Need more inspiration? Check out the sketch, prize details and fab creations from the DT at Some Odd Girl blog.

Enjoy your weekend!
