This card is my ginormously pitiful attempt at the Mojo Monday #71 sketch for this week along with today's challenge! Nothing was working for me, which is a testament to the fact that even though the sketch is called Mojo Monday... I had none! And I hate my bows! Can't tie anything but a good knot! Bar... I need you to teach me!
I hope you'll find time to come up with something far better than me for this challenge! It's so much fun to see how many people participate in Sharon's challenge each week!
Happy stamping, and TGIF!

Cardstock: Maraschino (Bazzill), hot pink (Hollo's), white (Gary Burlin), designer paper (Making Memories)

Don't be so hard on yourself! This card is cute and your bow is great goofball!

I think this card is just so sweet!! I really love the cuttlebug folder mixed with the hart patterned paper and the way that the heart on the cupcake ties it all in!! And that satiny red ribbon makes the card look rich. Really nice card!!

Oh, I think you're being too hard on yourself also! I LOVE this! That CB background in red is just so rich-looking and so is the bow! I love it all, it reminds me of a big Valentine box of yummy chocolates, I mean cupcakes! I think I need to dust off that CB folder myself!

Wowsers, Tammy..if this is what you do with NO Mojo, I'm in heaps of trouble. It took me all last evening to combine several challenges. You all make it look so easy. Maybe I'm working out of my area of giftedness? Ah well, after exercise hope to get mine posted.

Ooooo, yummy! Love the swirls cuttlebug folder. Good enough to eat!

You're far too critical of your own accomplishments! This card is fabulous! I love the dsp with the tiny hearts alongside the embossed swirly panel. If my bows looked HALF as good as this one, I'd be using them all the time!! Great job on the challenges Tammy!

Now what is so pitiful about your card, I think it's wonderful. Love the colors and of course, cupcakes says it all. Your bow is great, wish I could tie one so "badly":)

ARE YOU NUTS?!?!?! This is one of my favorites of yours. Somebody in an earlier comment called you a goofball and I have to second that. There is nothing wrong with your MOJO! Best, Curt
