Suzie Q's Burpday

Ooo another card maybe the old mojo is starting to return lol.

It was me old mucker Suzie Q's burpday yesterday but as I didn't get to see her till today I couldn't put this on me blog cos she'd have sneaked a peak lol. Truth is it wasn't finished till near midnight lol.

Suzie got this gorgeous Hanglar stamp a couple of weeks ago and I was priviledge to get first stamp lol. Haven't a clue what her name is but I think she's from a christmas collection although as you can see you can use her anytime. The papers are from a fabbie swedish company called Maja Designs. I saw them on my blog travels and fell in love with them. Luckily for me Paula loved them too and less than a week from mentioning them they arrived at the shop lol. They are also on the web. They really are beautiful 12 x 12 papers although to be honest they're more like cardstock perfect for scrapbooking and cardmaking. I'm definately getting more of these lol. The sentiment is from the lovely lili of the valley. I treated myself just before christmas to this set and the christmas sentiment set. I have coloured her with my copics. It's the first time i've tried to colour an image in sepia tones. It's not to bad for a first attempt I suppose but I think I could do with more practice.

I don't think this card fits into any challenges. I spent ages looking for a sketch and just couldn't find one I liked so did me own thing (look how that turned out rofl) and I didn't really take much notice of the other challenges I was on a deadline lol.

Sorry again for the pooey photo's. I have 3 camera's and not one has a charged battery blasted teenager and her photo taking lol so I had to take it with my phone.

Off now to charge the batteries so I can hopefully take a better picture of the next card lol.

It's been a very very long time

*Cough cough* sorry it's a bit dusty in here but then you'd expect that when it's not been visted for over a year lol.

I thought i'd post this paperbag card that I made for my son's teacher. It's her last day tomorrow teaching at his school and she is a fantastic teacher and she will be greatly missed. I haven't actually made anything for ages now and to be honest wasn't sure if I could still do it. My mate Suzie Q told me about the fabby sketch on Papertake Weekly this week so I thought i'd give it a go. I also noticed on the JM & HS blog that it's going dotty this week so I was pleased that this card fits into 2 challenges not just one. Wow get me!!!! Lol.



I used Farewell Tilda from the Bon Voyage Magnolia collection. I coloured her with my copics and used Fancy Pants Happy Together papers. I used flowers from my stash and spritz them with iridescent gold glimmer mist. Got a bit heavy handed with it and turned the brown flower gold lol.

Right i'd better get off. I have an even more important card to make for a special friends birthday which is next Sunday. It's going to take me that long to choose the papers and the stamp let alone put it together lol.

P.s please excuse the rubbishy photos there was no light left by the time I finally finished. I also forgot to photo graph the insides as I had decorated those too so much to remember with this blogging lark lol

An apology and the NEC

I'm sorry :0(

It's been 3 months since my last post (and this one was supposed to be up two days ago insert rolling eye smilie lol). I have no excuse really apart from I just can't be bothered. My mojo nipped home 3 months ago and has since been "On the run" like a fugitive lol. Its has been hiding out somewhere in craft land. I've search everywhere but to no avail *sigh*. I just can't seem to find my little crafting mojo. I do miss it and I would like it to return, there is a huge set of copics wanting to come out to play lol.

Now do you see why this blog is called Mojo on the Run lol.

I had the pleasure of working at the NEC last week with Geoff and Paula, thank you so much for asking me I had a fantastic time. We were also joined by the lovely Charry, who was demonstrating. Charry is the sweetest lady you will ever meet thank you for making my stay away from my family so much easier.


On Thursday I met the fabulous Marlene. She is such a lovely lady. I was totally starstruck. I could not believe that one of the Creme de la Creme (in my opinion) of the crafting/blogging world was standing right in front of me and I was serving her. I was almost a jibbering wreck but I managed to compose myself long enough not to scare her away screaming "stay away from stand D03 there is a total nutter working there" lol.

Then on Saturday I got to meet Marlene again and 5 more of the Creme de la Creme of the blogging world. I also got to meet Marlene and Rach's lovely daughters.

Kim, Tab, Jacqui, Caz, Rach , Marlene hi *waves* lol


OMG

You should have seen me. Actually it's probably better that you didn't lol. I was a jibbering wreck, shaking with excitement, totally starstruck, that standing in front of me, lil old me and actually speaking to me was these six fantastic ladies. I must have looked like a total nutter. No answer needed Susie Q lol. I blame the fact that i'd drunk two cans of Relentless that morning lol.

It was busy all 4 days so I didn't get much time away to look round unfortunately. I did however manage to make it to the magnolia stand once or twice lol where I met the lovely John and Barbro. I did spot the fabbie Marcea and Bev on the magnolia stand but didn't have time to say hello probably a good job really with the two cans of relentless surging through my body lol.

I'm not back at work now till Thursday so maybe i'll use the time to have another look for my mojo lol.

Laters taters ;o)

Don't faint but...........................

I've made a card. Wooooooooooooooooo hoooooooooooooooooo

My mojo nipped home the other night and stopped just long enough for me to make a card. Now I would have posted this soon but for some strange reason blogger wouldn't let me go on any blogs last night. It kept coming up "your computer or network is sending automated queries" blah blah blah the end result it wouldn't let me view anyone's blog not even my own aarrgg. Anyway i'm here now ( cos I have a days holiday today lol) and Susie Q can stop leaving me coooeeeeee anyone home messages lol.

I decided to use the sketch from Truly Scrumptious' Challenge # 13.

I really like this sketch and will defo use it again when my mojo returns for good lol.

Here is my interpretation;

I've used my favourite papers MME Grow. The punch was MS Valentine Lace. The stamps are the Daisy by Magnolia and Heidi Swiss Pixie by CC Designs. The white flowers were from my stash and the orange flowers were a little something I picked up in Hobbycraft a few weeks ago.

I'd better go and make hubby a well deserved drink as he's sorting out the front garden with my little man. He's got him involved so as to stop him scratching as he's got Shingles (well the Dr's think that's what it is) poor little thing.

ETA: I forgot to add that there is an added element to the challenge which was to use a bit of bling on your card. I sprayed the flowers with Glimmer mist and added a bit of glitter but you can't actually see it that well.

Totally Useless

Yep that's me totally useless. I said I'd post my cards that I got for me birthday but never quite got round to it. Life is just getting in the way at the moment there just never seems to be enough hours to do everything that I want to do.

Anyway enough of me whinging lol here are my cards and hopefully (although i'm NOT promising lol) i'll get time to make a card before i'm back at work on Monday.

Mrs Wonka

Suzie Q

Paula

Lyn

Jukie

Joan

KT

Jackie

Celie

Heidi

Sarah K

I have to apologise to Jackie as some how her card seems to have been sprayed by a rouge tomato. I tried my best to get it off but it hasn't worked. Sorry Jac xXx. Thank you for all my cards girls love them all. Might see me later although it's taken me over an hour to finally post this lol.

It's been a while sorry.

I know it's been nearly a month since my last post but i've kinda lost me mojo. Well I haven't kinda I definately have. I just can't find the motivation to sit down and do anything. There is a very good reason why and the reason is here:

Isn't she gorgeous. Well I think she is but then i'm biased being her auntie. Little Phoebe is now nearly 10 weeks old and any spare time I have I spend with her. She is my first niece and probably my only one lol.

Anyway I thought I should post something as Suzie Q is going to post comments on my blog until I do something lol. I will be back later with some creations. No they aren't mine they are cards that I received for my birthday last week.

Sorry for being such a bad blogger but now at least you know why i'm so bad :o)

I'm back

Hi Everyone

It's been a long time since I was here last.

My knee is healing now thank god. I've not done a lot of crafting lately though as I started reading my twilight book and I just can't put it down. I've always liked Vampires since I was a child so I knew that i'd be hooked the minute I started reading it lol.

I have made a card though and it's for my work buddy KT. Now KT loves Hello Kitty, Pink and Black and she was 25 this birthday so this was an easy card to make. Well the thought was easy lol.

I used my design studio to create the 25 card using George and Storybook. Kitty was cut out of Hello Kitty Font Cartridge. It's not quite what I was wanting but what can I expect when I started at 9 oclock on Thursday and needed it for Friday. One day i'll be organised lol. Sorry about the picture I suddenly realised that i'd forgotten to take one so it was a quick snap at about 12 oclock lol.

Hope everyone is enjoying the weather i'm off to try and get my book finished so I can start the next one lol.

Thanks for stopping by and thank you for all your comments they are really appreciated and loved.
