The Case of the missing Mojo...

Quite a while ago something in my life went missing. After searching unsuccessfully, I decided to turn my hand to an interest I had been wanting to pursue for many years. Almost twelve months and a Diploma later I thought I'd search again for that "something" that had been so elusive months earlier. Now I can joyfully share that I have found it! Yes, it was determined not to be found but my persistance paid off. I am cautiously optimistic that my "Mojo" has returned and I'm determined to make the most of it while it is gracing me with its presence. When I say I am making the most of said "Mojo", I mean I have completed THREE July challenges in two days!!!!! (insert applause here). That is something that hasn't happened for me for a very long time.

The first challenge is for KRAFT+ 

Pretty isn't it?! Here is my take:





I have embossed my stamping in white embossing powder and used some Glimmer Mist and White paint for my background. The papers are from the new Kaisercraft Collection "Mademoiselle" from the Paper Flourish July Kit Club. Some chipboard from 2Crafty and Dusty Attic as well. I used the colours, the music notes, hearts and ampisands as inspiration from the Kraft Board. This photo was taken at one of my favourite restaurants/cellar doors on Mothers Day. It has a beautiful outdoor dining area that overlooks a pond, vineyards and olive trees. 

In the interest of helping the Design Teams to find my entries easily I'll be posting each of my challenge entries in separate blog posts, so I'd love it if you could stick with me :)  xx
