Be Creative!

I used to be worried about how good I was at creating "works of heart" but no more! Just wanted to post this to encourage you to take the risk, be inspired, be brave, be creative!
Thanks for Inkin' of me!

Wishing for Spring

I know, three postings in a row, right? What's up with that? I'm surprising myself! I had another productive day (my mojo was visiting again!) and used another non-SU blog sketch to re-create a beautiful card using all SU products! Is that considered a CASE or my own creation? This is somewhat simple, in my humble opinion and you can change it to whatever greeting you may need, however should you have any questions, please don't hesitate to email me and ask away!

Looking for mojo?

Where did that word "mojo" derive? Is it really a word? I've been using it as a verb/adjective to describe my creative motivation or lack thereof. Here's what dictionary.com has to say:

mo·jo

/ˈmoʊdʒoʊ/ Show Spelled[moh-joh] S

–noun, plural mo-jos, mo-joes.

1. the art or practice of casting magic spells; magic; voodoo.

2. an object, as an amulet or charm, that is believed to carry a magic spell.

I thought I lost my mojo (my definition, not a magic spell, voodoo or the likes). However, I happened upon some paper crafter's blogs and was inspired with their non Stampin' Up ideas/sketches. I took the samples that I really liked and used them as sketches to come up with my own cards, using Stampin' Up products! Let me know if you like them. I'll be posting one a day for a few days and giving you all the item numbers for you to purchase the products to make your own!

Here's my first share:

Isn't it beautiful, if I do say so myself?
