Ever have days where it just feels like your mojo has gone on a vacation without you?  That's kinda how I feel with stamping today.  I think probably partly because I'm kinda sorta a little bit obsessed with my current cross stitch project so that's all I want to work on, even though I have baby books to do and only 11 weeks until my friend's due date.

But I did get a few new stamps earlier this week.

Like everybody else, I'm totally in love with the dinosaurs in the new catalog and I had to get them even though I have an older dinosaur stamp set.  I used a sketch and color challenge for this, and although I love the sketch and the color challenge, this card feels a little out of balance to me.  I think it's too heavily weighted to the left; if the T-Rex was facing the other direction I think it would work better for me.  Dangit.

Anyway, here's the fabby colors from The Color Throwdown:

I mixed two old In Colors with two new ones:  Baja Breeze (still so sad it's retired!), Crisp Cantaloupe, Tip Top Taupe, and Cucumber Crush.

And here's the Mojo Monday sketch:

So I'm thinking about sending this card to my dad because he could use some encouragement right now, but I also don't want him to think I'm comparing him to a dinosaur.  Hmm.

Ok, I'm off to work on some other to-dos on my list.  Cheers, peeps!
