Hi all, we woke up to a frost this morning, the wind has picked up and very cold I have been told to expect snow tomorrow, whoopy do, lol.
I want to thank you all for your continued support at the start of 2016, your encouragement and support means everything to me especially now when I feel that my mojo has gone on a winter break. I just can't seem to get my mind working and at a lost as to what to do next.
I have quite a few new stamps and dies but don't feel like they are 'speaking' to me if you know what I mean.
I bought the Sapphire small die cutting machine back last year when it was first launched and it is fantastic, today I have ordered the new Tattered Lace Big Blue electronic die cutting machine, my son is treating me to it as an early 2016 gift, awesome, maybe when I receive it I can go to town with my dies and embossing folders and gain some much need inspiration.
Although I see so much beauty and stupendous creations when visiting my friends and visitors, my brain has just lost it's creative function.
However, I do have a couple of cards to share with you today the first one is a new digi stamp from Miss Daisy stamps she is called Raggedy Girl Daisy Mae, I have gone for a coffee and cream colour combo, I coloured the image with both Copics and Graph It Markers, the papers are a mix of LOTV and Bearly Mine, I added some little flowers, stamped sentiment and a burlap flower.
I would like to enter this card into the challenge at
For my second card I have used an image by Sandra Caldwell I have seen these featured on my blogging buddy Sheila's blog for sometime, at first I could not quite make up my mind about them but over the months have actually fallen in love with these quirky images and treated myself to a couple, I wonder what you think of them?

Well that's it from me today my next posting will be on Saturday night, until then have a great weekend, but of course I will be visiting you all shortly

Both these creations are so gorgeous Lorraine. It doesn't look like your Mojo has gone to me.
At the moment I don't want to get out of bed of a morning and I look at a blank piece of card and want to burst into tears but I know the reason for that.

I think she's quirky and fun and that she's a bit sad makes me love her more! Beautiful designs, Lorraine. <3
Lorraine, hun, your cards are always gorgeous! You have a wonderful eye for combining colours and also patterned papers - I look at what you post on Facebook and try to work out why your work always looks so balanced!
These two cards are fab, I love the bright colouring on the second card but my fave is the Raggedy Girl one - lovely subtle colours, and look how well the gingham and flowered papers go together!!!
I hope you feel better about your mojo soon, maybe he needs to sit on the naughty step for a while until he promises to behave!!!
with much love, Maggie XXX
Great cards, particularly love the first one and the colours you used. Looks so good, your colouring is brilliant and those panels behind the coloured image look great. Well done
I know how you feel Lorraine, I have been sitting here all day too, not being able to create although I desperately need to get some orders started and finished. Maybe it's the aftermath of Christmas and hopefully Mr Mojo will soon return.
Your two cards for today look fabulous, I love the monochromatic one with the gorgeous raggedy doll image.
Take care and keep warm.
Lorraine
Gorgeous card Lorraine lovely colours and wonderful design and detail, the images are so sweet.

For someone who has lost her mojo you have made 2 wonderful cards Lorraine. I particularly love the coffee and cream coloured one, so very pretty. We are expecting snow overhere as well and temperatures below zero. Brrrr not my cup of tea ;-)
Enjoy the weekend my friend, hugs Veerle x
What a thoughtful son! Your cards are darling, Lorraine, and so beautifully colored and layered! Hugs, de
Two gorgeous cards Lorraine. I know what you mean about the mojo though as since Christmas I am struggling too and know exactly what you mean when you say you don't know what to do next. Hopefully it'll all pass soon-maybe we just haven't recovered from the Christmas break yet?? xx
What a beautiful card! Thanks for joining us at Cheerful Sketches!

Two beautiful cards Lorraine, lovely colours. I know what you mean at the moment I just can't get anything done, no motivation at all. By the way it's just started snowing here while I am writing this. Have a good weekend.

Sorry to hear you are feeling a bit low Lorraine, although going by these beautiful cards Mr Mojo certainly hasn't deserted you! I absolutely love the warm soft colours on the first one..plus that cute image of course. The second is equally beautiful with that fabulous quirky image and your lovely colouring!
Hope you're having a good weekend.

These are fab Lorraine! I think my mojo's off with yours on holiday somewhere ... if you find yours, give mine a shove back home! I have new goodies too that I've barely played with :(
Two fabulous cards Lorraine. I coloured many of these quirky images when on the Dt for sweet pea stamps, you either love them or hate them but they are gorgeous.xx

Another two beautiful cards so beautifully coloured and fab colours. I've seen these as well on Sheila's blog they really are different and very quirky but love them. Chanelle xxxxx
Two terrific cards Lorraine. I hope that mojo isn't hiding too far. I was a bit like that all of last year. Over Christmas I started going through my paper scraps and searching google and pinterest for different ways to use them. I finally feel a bit of excitement and keenness to sit down and craft again.
This is just delightful Lorraine. I love daisies, and the wonderful daisy patterns here are so pretty. The neutrals work well for this image, and so does the wonderful plaid backing. hugs :)
wow. Thanks for joining us at Cheerful Sketches. Good luck!
Bye,
