*head hanging in shame...*
OK, OK, OK... I KNOW it's been a LONG time since I have posted anything but that's because, aside from our monthly club get-togethers, I haven't crafted ANYTHING. I completely lost my mojo. GONE. NOTHING. NADA. Life got so crazy..busy crazy AND just plain crazy (where do all the weird people keep coming from?) that I just could not focus long enough to do anything. My good friend, Lori, was in the same boat until just recently and she challenged me to make a card...ANY card. She got her mojo back and was sure mine couldn't be far away either. :)
I made a couple cards last week and I will post those separately but this morning I woke up and felt crafty. It's been so long since I have even LOOKED at a challenge blog, I, for a split second, wondered if Julee even posted Mojo Monday challenges anymore! I was relieved when I discovered that she was still posting weekly sketches - thank goodness for that. So, I sat down with paper, turned on the "Glee" soundtrack (LOVE IT! Anyone else watch the show?) and got down to business.
This is Julee's 114th sketch - how did THAT happen? This one is very plain and simple...PERFECT for my first challenge since February. I found some printed vellum from a bazillion years ago and dug through my acrylic stamps and came up with these:
Recipe - Stamps: "Chill Out" (My Favorite Things) Paper: Whisper White, Basic Black, Green Galore, printed vellum Accessories: Black grosgrain ribbon, pumpkin pie ribbon, Martha Stewart border punch, corner punch, adhesive pearls (pewter), paper piercer, dimensionals
Recipe - Stamps: Plain Jane (Verve) Paper: Whisper White, Basic Black, Green Galore, printed vellum Accessories: Black stitched ribbon, Martha Stewart border punch, felt flowers, black brad, Labels 3 (Spellbinders), adhesive pearlsSo that's what I came up with after being mojoless for months and months. I have been through a lot of "stuff" the last few months and I have made a decision that *should* give me much more time to create and get back to my "happy place." Thanks to anyone who took the time to stop in and check out my creations. Hopefully my next post will be much sooner than this one was... :) Have a great week!

Glad to see your life of "crazy" has allowed you the time to return to your blog with these wonderful cards. I haven't been checking up on you for a long time; looked like you gave it all up like I did until recently as well. I stumbled in today and sure glad I did. Hope to see more wonderful things from you in the near future now that the mojo is back.
Wow awesome cards, glad you are back, can't wait to see what else you create! Wow!
I've totally missed your cards, and am so glad you're back blogging! These cards are fabulous, what a great grouping!
