Yesterday when I complained of my MOJO withdrawl, Kim challenged me to use the FTL 125 layout with a birthday card theme. (I love being told what to do!) So while I flipped the sketch and moved the sentiment, I did end up using some of the last of my Boxer scraps (from Basic Grey...who else?) and made a simple masculine card to boot. And oh yes, I popped that sentiment up real high using some super thick pop-dots (heart them!). Not exactly what I had in mind initially but I like it! Kim told me she was going to do a card with the same guidelines, so go check it out (especially since I am sure she followed the rules!).
(BTW, got a three pack of hemp twine from the hardware section of the dollar store. There was this dark green that I featured on my card as well as two rolls of khaki-colored twine too. Heck of a deal [there is a enough twine there to keep me going until my death!] and a perfect little addition to a masculine card.)
Finally, as a result of my little chit-chat with y'all yesterday, I started that blog over in the sidebar called "Share the MOJO". Now the only way it will work is if we ALL add fun stuff there that we believe is worthy of a shout-out (all it takes is a link-up through InLinkz). So as you blurf through the community, please head over and share your best finds with us. It will be great to get recognized and it will help those of us (YEP...I am talking about me here!) who are craftily constipated. Bwah ha ha!
Positive note of the day: Kids got to go to the Hitmen hockey game tonight and they had too much fun. RAK call: Another one of my best PSFs Sue is looking to collect ninety cards to celebrate her husband's 90th birthday (whoa!). If you have a masculine card that you could send his way, she'd love you for it. Please contact her for their address...cheers!

Hubby's plate on his car is 666! I love it! The DMV offered to replace it but I said no way.
Ooooo, I knew your mojo would return...
You had me at "BasicGrey" :)
Awesome card!Challenges are great!
That pie looks so yummy!
Oh wow! I'd say you found your mojo - this is beautiful. Thanks for starting the Mojo Blog - great idea. I see lots of beautiful things in my blurffing in the early morning. Are you going to start new each week? Thank you, too, for the shout out for John's cards. 90 cards is a pretty hefty goal but stampers are generous people. A couple have even included a card for me. Thanks, Dear Friend.
Hi just had to follow you to rescue you from that scaring number. Thank you for putting me down on your newly discovered list. Loving the pie charts and that hemp/twine is perfect for the card.
I want pie now...
Love your card with that fab DP!
yeah to 668...love your card and I want some pie for breakfast...
you did an awesome job, wasn't this an easy sketch to work with! Great way to use up all those scraps. Love that you went with it vertically and the twine with the nesty is perfect. I'm looking to do some more stamping right now, hubby took the 2 little ones to ride their bikes at the park since we have a mild weather day. Better get crackin'!
"Craftily constipated" HA HA HA!! Love that expression :) Love the card you made here. I have some time today and don't know what to do! Might have to check out the new Share the Mojo blog :) Thanks for your continued hard work supporting us out here!!
Great manly card...you always have that perfect touch with BG DP Allison! I think I will whip up something today with that sketch too...really caught my eye! Yes, I saw the 666 yesterday, so glad you are past that! Doesn't seem that long ago that you were just at 200. I remember that! I just love your blog!
Love that you turned the sketch! Great card and love the hemp twine.

Stinkin love the card - and that hemp is absolutely delicious, haven't seen that around "legalized" Colorado!!!
