Wherefore art thou my Mojo?

I was seriously lost.... I started this card Monday. I sat in my craft room for 3 hours Monday night and just stared at my computer (okay... I ended up watching a movie hoping to kick start my mojo) Tuesday morning I cut the circle card.... did the pink border in the afternoon.... stamped the image late afternoon....cut the brown circle in the evening and watched some more movie. Wednesday morning I just sat there drinking my tea.... cut the pink border and attached to the brown circle late Wednesday afternoon.... watched the same movie I watched Monday after I put the girls to bed... Finally decided to put everything together close to midnight. Phew... it's a good thing we are off this week.

I got this idea from Debby to stop your circle card from rolling. It is such a great idea!

And of course a button to complete my card and it's ready for Mojo #184 and Everybody Art Challenge #135.

With my luck...

I have been wanting to craft for a while now and the only day that's good for me is Friday night and the weekend. Last weekend was the one I have been waiting for cause we have nothing on the go. But sure enough.... Friday after I picked the girls up from school, I felt the sinus headache developing. Yup.... was sick the whole weekend!!! No card to share with you... but some pics of cupcakes that I made for my class.

I used mini marshmallows for the eyes, jelly beans for nose and black sugar pearls for eyeballs and mouth.

I hope I'll be able to craft soon.... now that we have a week of spring/winter break.

Long time no post!

Well.... what can I say.... been really busy with my day home. Can't really craft with a three year old and she has been coming here earlier than usual. I have been reading some books... I think I read about 12 books and I also started taking Cake Decorating at Michael's.

I did craft today though.... that's because I finished all my books. Youngest one is turning 6 next month and thought I'd get her invites done. The girls tried to help, but they fought more than help. Thank God they got bored and left me in peace.

Cricut got a good work out though...

Thanks for bloggin' by and hope you're enjoying your weekend!

7 Years ago...

I can't believe my oldest one is 7 today!!!! Where did the time go?? I remember it was a leap year that year and I didn't want to give birth on the 29th.... sure enough... she didn't wanted to come out till the 1st.

This card is not for her and I still have a couple of days till her party to make her Birthday card.
I did made her cupcakes for her class though.... pink and green. She's very excited! She said "Thanks Mom they are FANTABULOUS!" ahhhh..... she is growing way too fast for me.
It's a quick post and I don't even have all the info about my card.... it's pretty simple though, not much to tell.

Hello?

Hello Mojo! Sorry for being MIA...afraid my mojo sort of took a break there for a bit. I'm very happy to let you know that I somehow found it.... who knew it will be there waiting for me at the "Calgals" For a change.... I actually finished 3 cards!

It was lovely to see the ladies... did a lot of chit chatting, snacking and a bit of crafting.

Happy Valentine's Day!!

Love is everywhere today!! My youngest just came home from school and she got lots of sweets and cards from her classmates. I got my two dozen of roses already from hubby for our Anniversary (8th) today. Ever since he paid $60 for a dozen roses on our 1st year Anniversary, I told him to get my flowers before or after if the price is gonna be like that. I got them on Friday.

Onto my card.... Just something cute and girly! And yes... I used my cricut! I know it's sad that I hardly ever pay any attention to it. Maybe I should just sell it like Nancy did with hers. Hmmmm.... and maybe not!

Ahhhh.... I wasn't sure if I'll have time to play with this week's challenge. I finished this one last night, when all I wanted to do was to go to bed when my girls went to bed at 8:30 pm. Ever since I started my day home in January, I usually have no energy to play at night and have to wait till the weekend to play. And this weekend is a busy one... company over for the weekend and Birthday parties for the girls.

I'm very happy how this one turned out! Lots of distressing.....

Hello

Hello Sunshine!! Finally.... a little break from that cold snap we have been having. My third card out of nine. I used the Pixie Cottage Sketch Challenge combined with Penny Black Card Buffet.

Well.... it's still cold here in Calgary!! Yesterday, we just stayed home and I was in my craft room crafting away.... I did total of 9 cards! We did all of our running around today thinking that the weather will be somewhat better than before. What a mistake..... it was freezing out there!
A little bright I know... but I love orange and green together. You have to read the sentiment from this one.... it's just too cute.

Pixie Cottage Challenge #51

Brrrrr.... cold enough for me! I don't mind the cold.... just no wind. And wind is what we have here in Calgary. No walking for us to school today, big snow drift at the end of our street and I'm sure the path is also covered.

Ohhh.... life is beautiful when you get to go to bed late and sleep in the next day. Sadly... that will end for us on Thursday, when it's time to go back to school for the girls. But for now... I will enjoy every minute of it.

My printer is acting up and I'm not able to print my digis... but then we've had that printer for 6 years now and I guess it's time for a new one.
