I'm not going to apologise for not blogging etc as Marianne will tell me off!! I have managed a couple of cards over the past couple of weeks but nothing worth blogging really.

I wondered where you got to...I totally know where your coming from with the mojo...mine does a runner often and I am left feeling so low and depressed and often wonder why I bother...
ReplyDeleteOn a brighter note I have been looking out for you as you won my recent mini candy... so look for my email on the top of my blog and send me your address woman....lol.
Have you cheered up a bit now....
Your card is lovely Jo, like the rest of us you worry to much....but we shouldn't...it's all for the love of it...
Cheer up hun...

ps...I have prob's with the net and sometimes cant see pic's,it's not from your end it's just my darn server...I can see the lovely kraftin Kimmi card with the very nice and I must say in my case neglected B&G papers...love the raffia, very different....
hope you feel better soon and come back in full vengeance....lol
Both cards are beautiful . I love the colours in both of the cards, especially the oranges

Hi hunny, I've just played catch up with you too. So sorry to hear you been through a low point Jo, it definitely hasn't affected these gorgeous cards hun.
ReplyDeleteI have the cards being swiped problem from my daughter and if there's any left MIL nabs them, I have 2 in my box!
My little tip with the embossing folders as they just aren't big enough! Emboss as usual, line the pattern up so your embossed paper/card sits flush in the folder and emboss some more, don't worry about the squashed line that appears, all you need to do is match the pattern in the folder, close it and press your hand accross it so you'll be able to see the pattern faintly and with and embossing tool gently emboss this out again!
I really hope that makes sense!! If not shout and I'll try and explain again, I have trouble understanding me at times so how anyone else can is beyond me lol
love n hugs Mandy xx
These are just so sweet hun and I adore the fabulous colour schemes just my choice, sorry I have been such a bad blogger this week, and trying to play catch up now
