And then we got home and .... nothing. It's as if I forgot to pack my Mojo, and left him languishing in our hotel room somewhere. Or perhaps he did not clear the countless customs check points at various airports. (My husband even had to remove his shoes at one point - I kid you not!) In any case, my Mojo did not make it home with me...and I miss him terribly.
So I sat in my craft room and willed him to return. Reluctantly, he made a fleeting appearance and this card was born. I hope you like it. It is for all you wonderful friends and bloggers who visited me and left me beautiful comments during my absence. You're the best!

| I'm going CAS on this one. No patterned papers, just an embossed background. I used a Crafts-Too folder. A little pale pink satin ribbon completes the picture. |

| The wee butterflies and greeting are from Clearly Besotted's Butterfly Additions set. I used Memento Rose Bud and Cantaloupe for the butterflies and Memento Elderberry for the greeting. To cut out the butterflies I used the coordinating Butterfly Wishes dies. |

I love this beautiful CAS card Asha! The embossed background is so rich and love the fluttering butterflies. :) Welcome home!
ReplyDeleteExactly the same thing happened to me! I had all these ideas, came home and then I was totally blocked... It will pass, it's just that you've got so much in your head but your body is out of practice:) I think you made a great card though - I can assure you card is beautiful - but you just can't see it since it isn't what you envisioned...
ReplyDeleteThis is just gorgeous,such a lovely design.xxx
ReplyDeleteI wish I could be this creative when my mojo has gone! Love that you have come back with a CAS card! And purple too......thank you!! x
ReplyDeleteIt really seems that vacations sap creativity! Maybe there is something mojo-related that regenerates when we use it frequently? And of course I love the card you've made - those colours in particular! - but I know how tough it is when it feels like the ideas don't come easily. I hope your mojo finds its way home soon!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful card, Asha! I love the colors! It looks like your mojo is back with you, for sure! It's hard to get back into your routine after being gone a while. Looking forward to seeing your beautiful creations!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous CAS card. Love the butterfly arrangement.
