Hi all, today my card share features a stamped image from Elisabeth Bell called 'Warm Apple Pie' she is a recent purchase for me and it was a delight to stamp her up and colour her in. I have used Momento Tuxedo Ink then coloured with Graph It Markers and Copics, the papers are LOTV and all have been mounted onto black card, I added some ribbon and double bow, die cut flowers, gems and a stamped sentiment.
I would like to enter my card into the following challenges:
I want to thank you all for visiting my previous posts and leaving me a comment they mean a lot to me especially as I have not been around much lately.
I seem to have lost my mojo I have even thought about giving crafting all up, unfortunately that is my depression talking, I have had a good talk to myself especially has there are some of my blogging friends who are suffering at the moment with some major problems, my heart goes out to all who are ill or just feeling low like me, I have you in my thoughts and prayers.
Thank you

Super card Lorraine, love the image, your colouring, super papers and detail, hugs xxx
This is a real delight Lorraine, the colours are so beautifully seasonal and the gingham ribbon all adds to the warmth of the season. And I can almost smell that apple pie cooking.
I think we all have those down days and even weeks and it's often easy to make decisions that are perhaps not the right ones. Like you my mojo has been a bit lacking lately and the other day I sat in my craft room looking at all the stash and wondered at the wisdom of it all. But then I realise craft is what helps get me though so often and I am sure it's the same for you. And I for one would hate for you to stop crafting as I love to see your creations.
Chin up Lorraine and look forward to your next posting.

LOve the fall colors and the pretty image.... Always look forward to warm apple pie during this holdiay.....The gingham ribbon is pretty!
Your card is beautiful Lorraine, such a pretty image and lovely autumn colours - your bow is gorgeous.
I'm sorry you are feeling a bit low at the moment - I think it's that time of year, we know that winter is on the way and it doesn't help our mood, I hope you are soon feeling a little brighter.

Lorraine! I feel for you and your lost mojo. Mine comes & goes frequently! Stick with it hun - you will feel better very soon! Great card - I have a few of those images so I must get my brain in gear and get them coloured up! Thanks for the inspiration! X
This is so beautiful Lorraine and such awesome colouring and layout.
I am so sorry you are feeling low sweetheart, please don't give up crafting as you have such a great talent.
I know that my crafting is helping me at the moment, except the other day I just sat looking at the blank bit of card and burst into tears as I had no idea what I was going to do with it. This was a first for me. I took a deep breath and had a good talking to myself and continued.
Hugs

i would love some homemade apple pie! this is such a warm and cozy card with the patchwork background and i love the check ribbon! glad you talked yourself into continuing creating and sharing it with us at penny black and more.

Yummy! I'll have a piece of the pie, Lorraine! I'm sorry to hear about the depression at this time. It's really difficult to overcome, especially if medications are not available to help. Just because others suffer, doesn't mean your suffering is any less significant. Here's to better days, when things are looking brighter and feeling much more normalish! hugs, de
Just lovely Lorraine, a fab image and great design. Love the bow too, I can never do them, try as I might!! It's very hard when the mojo disappears-I've found the best thing is to not put pressure on yourself when you're not feeling like making anything.Just have a little rest, look at the beautiful images and papers around and you'll soon find you want to make a card again xx
Oh I hope you are feeling more cheerful soon Lorraine, you must never give up crafting it will help you along through any bad times and just think of all the crafty stash you would have to get rid of :)
A lovely card today, great image and beautiful colours.

Beautiful card Lorranine. I love the ribbon. I am sorry you are struggling. We all lose our mojo from time to time. Please do not give something up that you love. Crafting can be such good therapy. I have heard that it sometimes helps to create in a different room than you normal would. When I am struggling with my mojo I always find lots of inspiration on Pinterest. Best of luck to you. Hugs
beautiful card!!
I'm doing my first GIVEAWAY over at my blog! Be sure to check it out!! :)

Wow Lorraine, your colouring never ceases to amaze me! Please don't even think about giving up crafting, you have too good a gift not to use it ... your mojo will come back, reckon yours is off with mine somewhere having a fab time without us ;)
What a pretty card, love the colours and the bow. Thank you for joining us at Crafting with An Attitude. Helen DT xx
This is absolutely gorgeous!! I love the sweet image!! The gingham ribbon is beautiful!! Fabulous layout and design!! I've felt like giving up crafting, too when my mojo is gone. But I would miss it to much. Crafting is therapeutic, too...a great way to relieve stress and sadness. I hope your mojo returns in full force :) Have a great day :)
