Happy Birthday Old Salt- WMS Pajama Party!!

I managed to do the final Waltzingmouse Pajama Party challenge.....



returned to work from a trip to Indiana and work has been crazy, crazy!! Appears I am going out of town next week for work which is a titch unplanned!! That seems to be life lately, LOL, unplanned things going on!!

The last challenge for the PJ party is a sketch...

 Well..... I went a little different for this one!! Ocean Bound arrived at my house while I was gone (didn't order fast enough for all my US WMS fanatic friends-they bought it up from the US but, I just ordered from Clare and did the Royal Mail thing.)

 The other thing that happened was that when I was home, my sis took me to this little stamp store (not even sure the town is on a US map) but, they had some Tim Holtz products I had on my wish list.... the riveted embossing folder and silver foil paper (think ships) and the sentiment (maybe a bit of a tarnished ship). Mona Pendleton has made some fabulous things with this stuff HERE and HERE.

Sooo...I combined the  "Happy Birthday old salt" sentiment and the gorgeous ship from Ocean Bound and made this....



Now, I have to use Ott lights and my camera is not fancy so the pic may not show the effect as well as Mona's but, I sure had fun!!  The sentiment and ship were stamped with Memento Tuxedo black and heat embossed with clear. I sponged the embossed silver foil with black stazon.

Thanks for stopping by!! Love when you do and appreciate all the kind words!!
