I love the new Just Words set that Lizzie Anne is releasing! Given my missing mojo-I thought using my favorite words altogether in a set would inspire me-and it did!!! How ALL occasion can this card be right!
Especially for a little pick me up! Sometime people who are dealing with touch times need a card that isnt so dreary, and rears a message of HOPE!
I LOVED this ribbon I got at Michaels literally years ago. I used it to inspire my design. Jolies Fleurs is just the perfect match. I also used So Swirly (all Lizzie Anne sets)
I stamped the flower on choc. chip cardstock, and embossed it with white embossing powder. Colored the center with my Lumiere, then cut out the inner petals, using my tool taxi-that idea was taken from another card I did——> HERE Trimmed out the flower, then added the BLING, and the flower was done.
I attached the ribbon through my tab punch.
Very detailed, yet clean all at the same time-I think. I was quite happy with how this turned out. I especially LOVE using colors I dont normally pull out-such as olive, and being happy with the results.
I especially love feeling like I can stamp again. I made a few other cards-but the sets aren’t being released till the end of the month!
MFT Stamps is releasing FIVE sets October First! Holy Moly! I better get stamping!!!! I ahve a lot to do.
ONE set is going to be for a special cause! Check it out———-> HERE
Speaking of causes………………….
This box of cards is going postal this week! I told you I am sending most of my card to Cards for Cancer! I packed them all in there as tight as I could! LOL!
I am also going to be speaking at our area local radio station at a fundraiser for the childrens Cancer Center at Dartmouth and CHAD on the 17th! They are looking and hoping to raise $20,000! I will speak of Alexa’s experience. Almost like the St. Jude’s commercials you hear on the radio that make you ball your eyes out (at least I did and that was even BEFORE I had kids let alone became one of those parents).
I always dreaded being one of those “commercials” but that fact is we are! And if it can raise awareness and money for a cause COUNT ME IN! I love to do whatever I can to make the smallest difference.
So I hope some of you get inspired to make a difference for whatever cause is dear to your heart. Even ONE person can make a difference.
I will soon be posting a Smilebox from Noahs first Soccer Game! It was a BLAST! I was so proud of both Noah and Jason! Jason is the Coach, and he has done a great job teaching first time soccer players!
More on that later………………..

Lauren, your mojo is not missing and never has been. You’re being too hard on yourself.
Your mojo definitely has returned! (I don’t think it was ever really gone) I understand “feelin’ it” sometimes more than others. Way to go with that huge stack of cards for a fantastic cause! I know what you mean about the five sets coming out….I better get stampin’ too!
Wow! The ribbon and flower REALLY do match so well. This is such a lovely card. The cut out flower is such a great look.
