Yes that is right ...I am actually posting on a Monday ....
this Mojo layout was so neat ...I loved ... 
now along with this layout challenge I also combine it with
Challenge:  Create a "Thinking of You" card 
So this week’s challenge is based on Philippians 2:3-4 and the goal is for you to make a card to send to someone who needs a lift. The general thought is a thinking of you card, but it can contain a scripture verse or any sentiment that conveys that your thoughts or your prayers are with that other person.
Barb and I do this challenge together...
So here my try at it ...I stepped out and used bright colors ...
What do you think...
so hope you will check these two blog sites out ...
also all the family and friends
Products Used:
the plain color paper is from the dollar store ...4 sheets ...for $1.25(not bad paper)
the design paper from BoBunny ...Adlib
the circles are from the Spellbinders Classic Scalloped Circles...
the gems again a dollar store item... 
the sentiment from Stampin Up
and embossed it with copper glitter from the Recollection stuff
