I'm still alive!!

Hi there ladies!!

Sorry that it's been so long since I last posted- geeze ya think I was on a very long vacation or in jail or something?

Nope, I've just been busy as usual and honestly I've had absolutely NO MOJO- eeeek! I've never really been in this bad of a funk before.......I'm almost starting to get worried. I look at my craft desk with no desire to do anything........sad huh? I've been cruising some blogs and gazing at all the wonderful creations on Flicker- I just can't find the motivation to get much done here.....waaah!

I did somehow manage to get a card made today- and I must say it's not my best work.........but I'll show you anyways.

I needed to make a card for my brother's upcoming birthday- and I admit I really struggle with guy cards most of the time. I just never know what to do for them? So I pulled out some of my "guy" type paper and used a fun Walzingmouse stamp to match the Spellbinders die cut. The sentiment is by Stampin Up and I found these 2 tiny brown buttons to matched so well.

I made this card last week (I like this one much better) ! I had the flower images stamped and cut out sitting on my craft desk for about 2 whole weeks ( geeze- no mojo again?)!  I based the background colors completely around the great button I found in my stash. The background stamp is from Rubbernecker and the big flower is from Hero Arts.

Today I stopped into Michael's and picked up some Fimo clay to play with.

Jane makes all these really fabulous handmade buttons (I've been drooling over them for weeks now) and I have had the itch to maybe give it a try and see what kind of buttons I might be able to make. I love trying new crafty things and seeing my card making mojo is no where to be found- I thought I'd play doing something different. I've got a handfull  made, but it's so dark and cloudy here and my lighting is just awful- so I'll take a picture tomorrow and show you what I made. I used some fun stamps for texture on some buttons- honestly mine just don't look nearly as fabulous as Janes do. Must practice more!

Fun Crafty news!

I got myself all signed up and ready to go for Scrapfest at the Mall of America this week too! I'm really excited to say I got into a Tim Holtz class and 2 Hero Arts classes- wohooo! I plan on meeting a bunch of other Hero Arts Flicker friends there- a bunch of us will be in the same classes. It's going to be so much fun- I just wish I didn't have to wait 2 months.

Off to watch a movie (Clash of the Titan's) and munch a big bowl of popcorn.

If anyone see's my mojo- please tell it to come back soon!

 Thanks for stopping bye :)

Inky hugs, Anne
