Hello! Well, I've survived a Monday morning. How funny, even as a retiree, I still look forward to the weekends, and dread Monday's. I wonder about me sometimes :)
Just had a fun card to share today. I needed something spur of the moment. This image was laying on my worktable, and was going to be a focal panel on a Happy Retirement card. Well, when I dropped the stamp right onto the image, it left a nasty smear on the right side. What to do, what to do? Well, the paper cutter chopped off the bad side, and some of the bottom, and I found that it fit perfectly into the window of some ready made cards I purchased from the Paper Cut at the Collinsville show.
Added a fun Stamps by Judith sentiment, and voila!
FIVE minute card! Yeah, made me happy!!! Just put the image in the window, covered it with a scrap of cardstock, and stamped the sentiment. Voila...
Hope your week's off to a good start.
Thanks for stoppig by today :)
Happy Monday!
Patti J.

I so know what you mean, Patti. Also being retired it took me a long time to get used to the fact that everyone day is now a Saturday!
I love this card. What a fabulous layout... sometimes our goofs make for the best cards!
That IS funny and I can relate, I'm a retiree and still look forward to weekends too!!! LOL!!!
Love your beautiful card!
Beautiful card Patti! Happy Monday to you.

Very pretty, Patti! Hard to believe you could do that in five minutes - amazing!

Beautiful sky Patti! Love these colors together. Regardless of time and the oops this card is perfect! TFS!
Love those 5 minute cards - I made "several" last night - well in fact 6 I think. Love your sunflowers too.
What a gorgeous 'oops'! Love your sponging and how the silhouette image is really showcased against those colors. One of my fav color combos is aqua & black ... awesome!
This is gorgeous! Love that beautiful background.
Beautiful card Patti! I love the colored background!

Okay...so now you're scaring me!!! I didn't retire this year (I thought I would)...but plan to next year and losing those Monday Blues had me looking forward to it...now, I'm not so sure! What?
Your card is gorgeous! Even for Monday!!! Hugs, MF.
Beautiful card - I sooooo don't like Mondays!!!! Thanks for putting a smile on my face.
Beautiful card! Bright and cheery!
Always enjoy your sponged background cards. This is lovely, and you did a super save on it too! Had to chuckle at your retiree & Monday comment. I'm the same way when Friday comes. Doesn't really make much difference in our day-to-day routine when the wkend comes, but guess that Friday mentality is ingrained. I'm always thankful on Sunday nite that I don't face office politics the next morning. Loved your card, and aren't Paper Cuts wonderful to have on hand (If I remember I have them and _where_ they might be hiding!). TFS the pretty card and the good giggle.
Beautiful CAS card Patti, that little spalsh of yellow is just the perfect amount of colour.
I don't really mind Mondays, now Tuesdays, that's a different story! Hate them!
Love your 5-minute card, Patti! Maybe I should try dropping my stamp onto my image. LOL
Beautiful and quick, what more can one ask for! Your mistake made for one lovely card!
hugs
