Where did my mojo go???

       OK, so I was on vacation for a whole 10 days!! I don't think I made 1 single card!!
I just didn't have it in me!! I need my mojo back!! I don't know what is wrong!!  I just had 2 days off again, and today I had a 3 hour nap!! Starting tomorrow I have to work 3 in a row, maybe I'll feel like making something after work one night!!
      I made this card right before vacation for a good friends daughter who graduated from High School.  I cut the "2011" out of her Graduation announcement. This is a Sassy Studio Design, "Cassie's Graduation". The paper is a dark gray, Real Red, and Gina K Pure Luxury White. I colored with Copics and added some Stickles to the Flora Doodles flowers.  I sure hope Mariah likes it!!   I'm entering my card over at CuteCardThursday for this weeks challenge, was to embellish the main image.
 My embellishment is her tassel. It is made from an actual tassel and a button brad to hold it in place.
         I hope everyone had a good Memorial Day weekend!  I got to spend time with both of my daughters. Jenn helped me plant flowers on my deck and then we grilled out at Cristine's on Friday. On Sunday, Jenn and I went to Chocolate Fest, although it was a horrible, rainy day!! Then we went to see a movie, "Something Borrowed", which was pretty good! When we came out,it was all sunny and nice!!
     I hope to get stamping again!!

Oh my gosh Cindy, this is awesome, I love her in red, so pretty! Amazing coloring, pretty flowers too, I'm sure Mariah will love it! Hey, if you want you can enter it into the Dare to Be Sassy Thursday challenge, too, there isn't any patterned paper here. Sounds like you had a good vacation time with your DDs!

Not to worry, we all have some time where nothing works, I had that about a month ago and just starting to feel like stamping again. After all, doing this 365 takes a lot to think of something :) Love this card, it is sweet. Hang in there. Your work is wonderful.

Hey Cindy!

I'm sorry, once I saw Chocolate Fest I couldn't read anything else! I'm so jealous! However, I do think you may have consumed too much chocolate if you think you have lost one ounce of Mojo! This card is wonderful!

Oh, and you are more than welcome about my side bar, your blog is on my top 10 list so I must share! :)
