Still No Mojo . . . So Bought New Stamps!

Hello my friends!  Another quick post today.  Due to my lack of mojo I wondered if new supplies might shake me out of my slump - well that's how I justified it anyhow!  They arrived today and I got them out immediately - usually, I file them for use another day and then . . . forget them!

The stamps were, Mama Elephant 'Brushed Florals' and Concord & 9th 'Perfectly Penned'.  First, I stamped the sentiment, then I built up the florals around it.  I finished it off with some foiled accents.  My mojo didn't make an appearance, but at least I have another get well card for stash now!





I'm sorry if I have been remiss in visiting all your lovely blogs lately, but being so short of time I have only been returning visits.  Hopefully, as Mum gets a little better and I have got things more sorted (there are things needing sorting every day at present), I will be able to return  to visiting everyone's lovely blogs.

Thank you so much for your visit today and especially if you have left a comment.  You are all appreciated more than you know! If you have a question, please be sure I have a way to contact you so I can answer, as a lot of you are 'no-reply' bloggers, so I am unable to reply via e-mail.

  2. I think you deserve some new stash and you've created a really beautiful card with them. Your Mojo will return but you have lots on your mind so it's not surprising it has gone on holiday for a while. Just make sure you take care of yourself too dear friend x

  4. This is a beautiful card Hazel and I love the colours. It is no wonder you are not feeling the creative juices flowing at present with everything else that is going on. Hope your Mum is doing OK. Take care. x

  5. Dearest Hazel, when you have so much going on, it's hard to get back into creating. Nevertheless you created a very pretty card! The foiled accents are lovely!

  6. My dear Hazel,
    This card is really great. I love it this colorfulness and gold accents.
      If you say that you lack the inspiration, then I am afraid to knock what we do when he gets your mojo. But I can not wait to get me to do :-)
    Fingers crossed, I'm with you my thoughts and I have you in my prayers.

  8. I'm awed by what wonderful work you can create with No MoJo! I know with all you're dealing with just now, it must be difficult to even think of crafting. I think buying new supplies has definitely worked for you, cause this floral beauty is just lovely! The blossoms look like soft water coloring, but from reading the post, I think you used ink pads? Nice accent with the centers too. Hope things get straightened away real soon! We'll all be here when you are ready.

  10. Good idea, Hazel, and it worked using your brand new NBUS!! This card is gorgeous! I hope things get sorted soon so you can get back into a routine play date with Mr. Mojo. Until then, everyone understands that your attention is elsewhere. You needn't worry about returning my visit, but know that I'm keeping you in my thoughts and prayers!! Hugs, Darnell

  12. I can relate to your missing mojo Hazel ... mine has only recently returned after being on vacation for several weeks. Great job with this card. Having new stuff always makes it more fun. :) Love the touches of foiling. Hope your Mum is continuing to improve. Take care. xx

  13. This card is so pretty, Hazel. Not sure I could do as well, even when my mojo is fully present and accounted for.

  14. Hazel that is my philosophy, I figure if I can't find my mojo that buying new stamps will help. It helped you because your cards are fabulous! Hope your mom is getting better and better each day.

  15. I wonder who first coined the phrase 'Mojo'?
    Beautiful triangular layout. My favourite touch is the purple flowers.
    Glad you are managing to find some time for you, my lovely friend...
    Take care. X

  18. It sounds as if you are having a very busy and probably stressful time Hazel it's no wonder Mr. Mojo went missing. However I'd say he's back looking at this lovely card. I think it was a good idea to treat yourself with some new stamps. Hugs, Barbxx

  19. Well, I think treating yourself to some new stamps is a great way to destress right now. Your card is lovely and I just love the flower arrangement and the really pretty brush script on the sentiment. I hope your mum is improving a little each day.
