Creative Moments Challenge Motivation ... ... ...

 
I’m here today to remind you that there is still plenty of time to enter the challenge over at Creative Moments Challenge Blog.  The current theme is Monochrome/Anything Goes!
For all the details and to see the wonderful creations my lovely team mates have made see here http://creativemomentsbloggersnetwork.blogspot.co.uk/. 
 
The current theme is Monochrome/Anything Goes and we are sponsored by The Cutting Café and there is a voucher for the winner!  So it really is worth you popping over to play along with us.
I want to enter the following challenges:
http://corrosivechallengesbyjanet.blogspot.co.uk/ Out with the old – I’ve had the gingham ribbon for years and the black card for a long time too!  I don’t often create in black and white and I’ve tried to bin it a couple of times but that felt so wasteful.  So finally I get to use up a piece of ribbon that has been in my stash for over five years and start to work through that pack of black paper and card that I purchased thinking ‘I’ll use that quickly’, it’s been in my stash for three years!
 
Here is a card I made with one of the images that was available for the Creative Moments Design Team to  use ... ... ...
 
5"x7" card

Close up of the digital image

There was a choice of sentiments available and I think this one is lovely and will cover many different occassions.
I had to add some yummy glitter to make these very pretty butterflies 'pop'!

A final look!
I wonder if anyone of you lovely peeps are having the sort of problem I’m having right now?  I’m struggling to blog. 
I’m happily crafting away.  I’ve loads of stamped and printed (yay … new digital images to colour – thank you lovely design teams lol), you all know I love to do that lol. 
But actually blogging what I’m doing?  That has become a wee bit of a problem.
I think that either (a) someone stole my writing mo-jo over Christmas or (b) it ran away because I would not play over Christmas and the New Year lol!  I’m really hoping that I can get back into the ‘swing’ of it all soon!
Thank you so much for taking time to come visit me I really do appreciate it.
I hope to visit you all later on this week and I hope you are in a nice warm place.

Hi Karen, your card is just sooo elegant! I love b/w combos - and yours is perfect.

I must admit I'm finding it difficult to get back into blogging, let alone crafting. I just sit there and push bits of paper around!! Then don't know what to say on the blog and so waffle even more than usual!!!

Hope you are keeping well and warm!
