{10.9.11} hello mojo…
Trigger time…
Here’s the deal… my mojo has been finicky lately. Ideas are not plentiful and then if I do have an idea, I can’t seem to get my butt to sit down in my room to make it. Errrr! So frustrating. So, instead of crafting Saturday, this is what I did…
This is my little craft area and I spent all morning building those little cubbie shelves and reorganizing. It sure looks perty to me. I should have done a before picture, but I was a pretty embarrassed by it. When I walk by now, I just LOVE to look at it. Makes me a little giddy. heehee.
Thankfully, my mojo likes it too.
I was finally able to get inspired by this Moxie Fab Tuesday Trigger.
This photo seriously stumped me. Yummy yes, but how to turn it into a card I wasn’t sure. Karen shared a technique she learned from Christina (whew talk about playing telephone here) to look at the inspiration photo for a bit, walk away and write down everything you remember. So that is what I did and here is my list:
apple
layers
cream
browns
yellows
doily
whipped cream
You can probably guess from my list where I got my inspiration from. 🙂 In the corner of the label, the paper has a doily pattern. It didn’t really get picked up by the camera. And I am using the To the Core Itty Bitty stamp.
Wow, what a long post for such a simple card. Ha. Real time blogging here. I just created this card, photographed, edited and blogged. Kinda fun!

What a gorgeous space you have there, Lisa! I can imagine it makes you happy just seeing it!!! Very nice! And your card is such a beauty as well! I see you also have a sewing machine, I’m thinking about asking one for my bday with christmas, but don’t know what I should look for, or what the specs should be. Can you help me with that? Do you use yours often?
Hugs, Wendy

First, love your crafting area! I think you were wise not to take a before picture — who needs a reminder? 😛 And the mojo is back full force, because this is a perfectly sweet card.

As soon as I saw the photo in my reader, I thought “Ooooh, that must be for the Trigger!” It’s so gorgeous, and the sentiment is fab. By the way, huge congrats on your Hero Arts win – well deserved, Lisa 🙂

Gah, forgot to say I love your little cubbies! And kudos on organizing – I try to do that when the mojo isn’t flowing, but usually end up watching TV instead…*guilty grin*

Hi Lisa, Glad you stopped by my blog! I’ve been so busy lately, I haven’t been able to keep up with my blog visits. I LOVE this card . . . the white space at the top really lets the images and patterned papers be the focus!

Fantastic card, Lisa! I’m always looking for cards to use my pretty papers with – and this one is great because you can use your scraps!
