I feel like my mojo has left me again. I was all set to send the day (Saturday) crafting and expected to finish several projects but I only finished 2 cards. I battled with my printer - for some reason today it has decided it likes to eat my paper and then get jammed up. I battle with my PC - I am unable to search my files to find what I want unless I remember the file name. After much research and lots of phone calls to people more tech savy then me, I found out it is a "known issue" with Windows 7 but unfortunately none of the available patches have helped me. I feel like I spent the day battling tech problems and it sucked my creativity dry. I hope to get these issues taken care of and feel more creative soon.
I hope your mojo hasn't left you. As I mentioned earlier, the Sentimental Sundays challenge is "anything goes". As long at you have a new project with a sentiment you can participate in the challenge. (All the details are on the challenge blog.) I hope that you will join us for your chance to win some fabulous digital sentiment sets from Raindrop Echo Designs.
Thank you for stopping by!

Hi Cheryl,
Oh that's a sweet card!
greetings, Jaimie
Gorgeous card Cheryl, I love these colours together and the little snowman is so sweet! I hate it when we have crafting time available and either things don't go right or we have no inspiration...I think your mojo is a little closer than you realise though...this card is beautiful! :) Donna x
Your card is beautiful and helps with our 100+ temps for that we continue to have. Don't forget to check out Lucky Stamper for your surprise, it may help with the mojo.
Despite your problems, this card turned out way too cute! Great colors, great details. Hope you are able to fix the Windows problem sooner than later.
Arg--don't you hate computer issues? I've been having virus issues myself--no fun!
Your card, however, seems full of mojo! I love your fun take on Christmas colors. And your image is soooooo cute! I love the paper pieced hat with pompom and the added sparkle. Fabulous card!
Awwww, what a cute snowman, your card is lovely, thanks for joining us at DCD Christmas Club.

The card is snow cute! and the colors are cool!
I must say that I do spend a lot of time making sure that my files are where I can find them in W7. And I 'group' everything that I can to reduce the actual number of files to make searching easier. But then I am sure that I don't have near as many to 'file' as you do!!!!
Hello, Brandy J. here from Paper Crafts. I just wanted to thank you SO MUCH for the comment you left on the PC blog. My house is a mess and the laundry is in a heap on the floor, but my little boy has a full belly and just went to bed. I'll continue taking your advice because it is really working out so far!
Super cute card, by the way!
