Hope you are all well tonight!. Well my mojo has flown out the window :o(. I made this card yesterday with another one and I'm not very happy with either of them. Been a bit stressful at work lately and I think it has finally come over to my creative side too. I have used a gorgeous stamp from the urber brilliant
Lili of the Valley and some gorgeous papers from Memorybox "Jubilee". Hope you like it, I must say it's not my finest hour, but hay ho must try harder at the weekend. I will show you my other card tomorrow night.

Right I'm off to find my mojo and I hope you all have a fab evening!!
Love,
that is a great card, beautiful and delicate. Dr Evil perscribes doing something outside your normal comfort zone to capture lost mojo... try doing something tiny.

Your mojo hasn't gone anywhere Vicky - this card is as beautiful as all your others. I think when we're tired or stressed we look at them with negative eyes and don't see what everyone else does. It's gorgeous!!
ReplyDeleteVicky your card is gorgeous, the image is beautifully coloured...the dp's are lush & the layout is fab.
ReplyDeleteHope things at work pick up soon hun

Awww Vicky sorry to hear you are feeling stressed !!! Your card is as Katina says BEAUTIFUL !!! So I don't think your mojo has went anywhere !!! have a good evening
ReplyDeleteYour Mjo is still there babe, it's gorgeous. I love the image and the lovely mating around it, the flowers and sketch again are just sweet. Isn't it funny when you do something and you don't like it? I sometimes think when you make alot of cards it's hard to keep them different.

Me again, Sorry you had a bad day at the course, was it awful? Hate it went you feel it was a waste of time, hope all goes better for you tomorrow. Debbiexx
ReplyDeleteHi Vicky. Mark and I love the card (aqua blue`s one of my fav colours)and I agree with Katina,we do look at our own cards with critical eyes but everyone else thinks wow! that`s lovely....I wasn`t partically happy with my Aunts card but after all the positive comments I got, I looked at it again and thought "you know what, it`s not that bad actually" lol..... I think we all suffer from crafters block sometimes but more often then not, once we find our mojo again we go on to make some of our best cards...(well I do anyway).Looking forward to seeing tomorrows card.

Hi Vicky, totally agree with everyone else, your mojo hasn't gone anywhere. I think this card is just as gorgeous as all of your other lovely creations. Love the colours you have used. I especially like the fuscia pink ribbon & pearls. Hope things get better for you at work really soon.

lovely card, great colours, you are being too had on yourself x
ReplyDeleteHi Vicky .. .. your card is gorgeous .. .. I think you are perhaps a bit over-tired and being hard on yourself (as we all do from time to time).
ReplyDeleteTeam building? I am surprised there is money about to still fund such things .. .. and such a shame that it is felt necessary don't you think?
Love Jules xx
