I make no apology for being weak...I just cannot help myself, it is such a burden!!! I see an amazing card and find myself in Detective mode trying to locate a certain stamp, die, paper pad and so on!! Case in point is the stamp I am using today. I had spotted it while browsing at DTDF and I resisted (yes, really!!) for soooooo long until I spied it showcased, brilliantly, here and I caved. So a mahoosive thank you Claire for making me realise that life would be a little bit better with this cheeky monkey in it!!
This is what I did with him...
...a miracle really because, even though I am finding time to craft, the inspiration just will not come at the moment. Still, my Marianne Designs photo die came in very handy to frame the stamped image that I coloured with Flex Markers. The SMILE was heat embossed onto some very old Bo Bunny spotted paper.
Thank you for visiting today. I hope you are all coping with the current situation and that you and your loved ones are keeping well.
See you soon xx

Many thanks for your lovely comment on my blog .. .. and yes, we were very young when we got married. I was a whole 19 years and 3 days old and Mr Heart was 20. He was my best birthday present ever!!
Hope all is OK at your end.

ReplyDeleteGreat card
If it helps any I'm exactly the same Sarah, all this time and no Mojo. Also smiled that Jules thought that was young at 19, I was just seventeen and a Mum at 19, did I know what to do with a baby, if course I didn't - but he survived!
ReplyDeleteA fun card, many thanks for joining in with our 'Men and Boys' theme at Allsorts challenge this week.
