Hope you all had a FAB weekend. I know we certainly did.
We went to the Deerfield Fair, and celebrated my hubby’s birthday. I’ll share some cute photos this week, and you can see my hair that I cut off! LOL! Its just below my shoulders now-EEK! I’m getting use to it, and actually like it-when I straighten it, anyway! Something different.
What did you all do yesterday for WCMD?
Nichole has some challenges, so take a peek!
On WCMD I actually got to stamp ALL day (preparing for my template release)! Now my back is killing! LOL! I stand to stamp, I just can’t SIT, so it took its toll on my poor back. I tried not to hunch forward, but apparently I failed miserably at that quest.
Add that to the fact that my card making mojo has been lost! I cannot find it. I do not know WHERE it went! I just know I can’t for the life of me get ANYTHING to workout! Maybe I’m over-thinking things???? Not sure. I just know what usually takes me a few moments, has turned into a LONGER process, and I’m NOT liking it ONE bit! That is what happens when I take a “break”. Now my breaks are never intentional-I just usually have this little thing called a FAMILY (LOL!), and they need to eat, and clean clothes are always a plus! I know YOU KNOW what I mean! Let’s not forget teacher meetings, doctor appointments, and the MANY activities they all par-take in! So sometimes before you know it its been DAYS since I have seen ink and images :C If I have a break its usually hard to get back into it. The MORE I stamp the easier the ideas just flow and keep coming.
Anyway….I have more samples for you today!
Tomorrow is the October Release at All That Scraps!ย Check out the blog for your chance to win some FREE rubbah!
6 sets are being released:
AmyR Congrats sentiments
Angel Emma
Swiss Pixie Birthday Bash
Swiss Pixie Birgitta
Pond Life
and Reason for Season
So don’t miss out ๐
First up-
The Angels Sing
I adored the angel trio Christine has drawn. I kept it SIMPLE, and I loved the outcome.
I had this music bkgd stamp-forever, and rarely get to use it. It was perfect, stamped in gold on this creation.
My mojo is still on vacation, so I find starting off simple is often best for me.
As you can see she is 3D. Her arms, and horn are on dimensionals. I have to say making things POP forward is so easy, but definitely packs that little something extra, and is well worth the time ๐
I colored her halo with a gold pen, and glittered her wings (of course!)
Next up we have a Cupcake Pup
One thing I DON’T do enough of-BOYISH style/gender neutral stuff! So I tried to keep it neutral/boyish here.
I think the dog is cute, and who doesn’t love cupcakes??
I then added some Liquid applique on the “frosting” part. You cannot tell but I added glitter prior to heat setting ๐
The buttons were used to create a “balloon” bouquet.
I had that FUN ribbon from American Crafts for quite some time, I just love it! It was perfect with my colors on this too.
Now last, but not least-Birgitta
I think she is SOOOO cute ๐ I really love all the Swiss Pixie’s most of all. How can you not?
Again-simple card-no mojo here! LOL! I did have fun coloring her though
A little close up view
Well that is all for me today. More time with the kids today, before its back to the daily grind.
Hope you enjoyed your weekend.
Oh, and if you find my mojo, kindly return it to me! I have too much to do for it to be lost :C
As always, thanks for stopping by ๐

Maybe your mojo has gone to where every it is that mine has been all summer long! Hope you find it soon and if mine wanders by send it this way after you give it a little pep talk! LOL!
Lauren, all that you touch is so darn cute and wonderful that you must need just a little break from it. Everything I see on your blog makes me say “wow”. Don’t be so hard on yourself and I bet in a little bit you will be feeling “it” again. As always thanks for sharing your talent.
Your mojo is fine ๐ THese are adorable cards…each and every one!
When my mojo goes missing I wish I could produce cards as good as these!
They are all lovely – the angel one is a perfect Christmas card and the button balloons on the boy card are really good.
Hope the back gets better soon.
Take it easy! All the projects are great. Love the little angel card. It is so perfect for the holiday season. Rest and enjoy your family.
Hugs…
Adorable! I hope your back feels better and I’m glad you spent some great quality time with the fam.
Big {{HUGS}} hope you find your mojo! ๐
Your mojo is not missing – it’s in costume – preparing for Halloween – so you just THINK it’s missing, BUT if you look at your cards that you just shared you’ll see your mojo was there – just being sneaky with you! Adorable adorable adorable!!!! ๐
Oh girlfriend! Missing MoJo? Me thinkest the girl protests too much! Your cards are adorable and so fun! Now me, missing mojo, hobo, and bobo! Spent the weekend looking at GORGEOUS scenery and now trying to get to work…alas, I do think I know where my missing creativity is! Sitting underneath this paperwork that must be done! sigh! OH WELL. I have a plan to get some of it done this afternoon and then play a little tonight and see if I can do at least a couple of birthday cards! Hope your back is feeling much better!
Oh I hope you find your Mojo soon, but in the meantime those are beautiful cards! I love the angel, especially the bow and garland you added for her to stand on.
I just got back from the Deerfield Fair and brought some caramel corn to munch on while I create…hopefully that will do the trick!
These cards are great!!! I’ve lost my mojo at times too. So one of my friends suggested that I set up a little ritual before I begin to clear my mind and get me in the right place to create. My ritual is easy. I light a candle and sit and look at the flame till I feel calm and then I ring a little bell. When I can’t hear the bell any longer I get started. I know this might sound a little crazy, but it’s worked well for me. Hope this helps.
Lauren, I think you’re going **crackers** ๐ All of your samples for the new releases from “All That Scrap” is adorable. Maybe it’s because these creations are not as ‘intricate’ as you usually get …… but either way, they are lovely ๐
Your samples are adorable. And my mojo is missing too – perhaps they took off together!
What are you talking about? These cards are beautiful! You always do such a fantastic job coloring all those images! You hit your doggie card out of the park! Not only is it as cute as can be, it is boyish & I love the 3-D frosting on the cupcake! ๐ TFS
If this is when your mojo has gone a stray ,gosh what will they be like when it returns.Your projects are stunning ,don’t be so hard on your mojo or yourself,I am
sure it will return to normal soon,if i see it on my travels i will send it your way!!!
hugs judex
Sounds like you had a fun time — can’t wait for your templates! I’m sure your MOJO will be back – you know Mondays are always the worst day of the week (in my experience). Myself and 16 other SU! demonstrators had a Customer Appreciation Event for WCMD. It was incredible! About 150 people attended and made three make-n-takes and we did demos at various tables, etc.
Stampin’ Hugs to you Lauren!

You lost your mojo, Lauren??? Well, if your darling cards here are a representative of a loss of mojo then maybe we should all lose ours! LOL They are gorgeous! I love the simplicity of each card and how the images just pop! You Go Girl!!!
I’m usually a stand up crafter (opposed to sitting down) also. I recently injured my right foot after walking into a suitcase with my bare feet so it’s really played havoc with my being able to be on my feet for any period of time. I can empathize with you on the aches from standing too long!
Missing your Mojo? Nope, don’t think so! These cards are super! Esp. love the pup-cake! Like all the others have said: Wish I could be as productive when feeling a little off-balance. Life happens… you’re a mom, domestic engineer, chief cook & bottle washer, in addition to being a crafter, blogger & creative sparkplug> It’s amazing what you get done! So give yourself a big pat on the back & just keep doing what you do. You’re just fine!!
The samples are just adorable. LOL and I though I was the only one that stamped while I was standing.
I cannot beleive you lost your mojo as these cards are just beautiful!
You did a fabulous job, as always, missing mojo or not. ๐ I especially love that angel card!
Oh my goodness, Lauren! All of your cards for the new ATS images are AWESOME! I really love how you did the balloons with buttons!!! CUTE!
Your angel card is absolutely stunning!
