Mojo Monday meets Whimsy Wednesday!

Hello everyone out there in blog-land!  Summer has definitely been a super busy time, as usual, and I have been itching for just a little break to get a little bit crafty!

When I saw this week's Mojo Monday 199 sketch I knew it was the perfect jumping off point to get back into the swing of things.  But never one to follow rules, I had to change it up just a bit.

Here is the sketch:

And here is my take on it:

I just moved the embellishment over to the opposite side on the left, and used rectangles instead of circles.  In place of the large circle I used the cute "Watermelon Boy" image from Mabelle of Whimsy and Stars Studio, and in place of the smaller circle I added the "happy" tag on the upper right.

The papers I used for this project are Echo Park Paper's "For the Record" collection.  Can I just say I LOVE this paper line?!?  I'm finding it works with more styles than I originally thought it would just by first glance.  It seemed maybe it would only work for vintage-type projects (which is a style I love but am slowly learning how to execute!) but the fun patterns work well for classic and fun styles as well.

So that's it for my first go-round with a Mojo Monday sketch and I'm looking forward to trying more.  Thanks for stopping by and I hope you all are having a fabulous Summer!
