Hi everyone!
I can't believe how long it's been since I've posted! Our cruise was AWESOME! I'll post a few pics at the end of this post. It was really hard to come back to 'reality' ~ I actually went through some 'post vacation blues' for a while, and I lost my creative mojo. I'd sit at my desk, look at my stuff, and NOTHING! But I check out all of your awesome creations EVERYDAY, and you remind me why I love this craft so much! You guys really and truly amaze and inspire me!!
Well, it's now Spring Break, I've had some time to myself and guess what? I got some mojo back!! I sat down the other night and made 3 cards! It also helps that my dear friend and stamping buddy, Pam, lives 3 houses down, and talk about inspiring-- she really needs to get her blog up and running so she can share her amazing talents with you guys too-- Ya got that MDF?!!!!
Anyway, I was looking through an old Stampin' Up! catty, and fell in love with this color combo- Sahara Sand and bashful blue. (it reminds me of the beach!) So I pulled out my Bloomin' Rose and came up with these.
I used the Swiss Dots folder with my Cuttle Bug, all three cards have faux stitching, and of course there's tons of Stickles involved, because I LOVE sparkles!
Okay, now maybe I'll check out some of my favorite challenges to keep the juices flowing! :)
As promised, here a few pics from our trip-- hope you enjoy!
(Ours is the BIG ship!)
Thanks for much for stopping by, and keep smiling!!
Hugs ad Smiles,
Denise

GORGEOUS photos, and GORGEOUS cards!!! My favorite is the first one - it's "just enough" and absolutely perfect! I agree with you on the color combo - very beachy and very pretty. Glad you're back!
Yay, welcome back, girl!!
Your vacation pics look fantastic. I'm totally jealous!
Your card is SOOOOOO gorgeous. I'd say your mojo is back in FULL swing. The shades of blue are so soft and calming, and I love the sparkle you added to the bloom.
Glad you had a great vacation! It was good to see your post and I love the cards! TFS Hugs, Becky Jo
So good to see you back Denise!! Wow, that is the "BIG" ship!! Hope you had a great time, no doubt you did. I know what you mean too about the back from vacation blues...it's always a bit difficult to get back into the swing of things, but it looks like you did with these cards!! Beautiful! love the color combo too! Welcome back!
