Has my Mojo returned?

It seems such a long time since my last post but its only been a couple of days. My one and only post this year what a disgrace. I have tried and tried to produce a decent card but all my attempts have gone in the recycle bin. But today I finally got down and dirty, well produced a card. I just adore the teal card from Creative Expressions that this card is again using teal and milk card stock.   I did not think I had a good enough photo of my card but this one is just about right, sorry about the background shows my craft desk, untidy as usual.  Sue Wilson's http://particraft.blogspot.co.uk  influence once more with this card, thanks Sue.  Michelle http://happy2craft.blogspot.co.uk will be the first to point this out as she is a fan too.

 

Ingredients

 

8x8 White card

Creative Expressions Milk and Teal card

Spellbinders Fantastic Flourish Three for corners

Spellbinders Rose Creations

Spellbinders Foliage

Spellbinders M-Bossabilities Garden Lattice folder

Spellbinders Classic Scallop

Pearls and sentiment from stash

 

I think Patricia http://patricia-summerhousecrafts.blogspot.co.uk will be proud of my roses as I followed her tutorial and just love how they have turned out.  Another project I have been trying is making flowers from Tonic Floral Delights Die Set.  I have only make the cornflowers and lilies so far but have been using other Spellbinder dies as well.  Here is a wee selection.  I used the cornflowers on my last post.

 

 

Another project I have been trying, thanks to Patricia's influence again, is the Origami Boxes which can be found at Card-Making-Magic http://www.card-making-magic.com/cardmakingtutorial.html but I could not get a decent photograph to show them tonight, will show them at a later date.  I did not realise how easy they are to make, I imagined them to be difficult but not too many folds and there you have the boxes. Card-making-magic is a great site for ideas for a relative newby like me, I kept Oohing and Aaaaaahing at every click of the mouse.

 

I have been browsing through all your blogs recently and boy there are loads of beauties produced by you ladies, where oh where do you get our ideas. I tend to spend more time each day browsing as I cannot wait to see what is being posted.

 

I think after tonight I am back in the groove (a sixties expression) and feel ready to complete some more cards, can't wait till tomorrow to see if it lasts.

 

Well ladies looks like snow is forecast for the weekend so wrap up warm and take care out there and thank you all for the lovely comments and advice I receive from you, it is much appreciated.
