spark: verb transitive

To rouse to action; spur
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Perfect Sentiments - Think Pink for Christmas ( paper and letters )
Die Cuttin Divas - #89 - Anything Goes
Fantabulous Cricut - #135 - Seeing Spots ( peppermints, and doddled dots )
Divas by design - #59 - Feeling Festive

OK, so I have my inspiration for my card, it's going to have pink, polka dots, Christmas themed! Yay! I might even add some Christmas music to listen to while I get creative! ( update: Christmas music was not played, after all it was Halloween, so I watched scary movies all day instead! )
 This is how I spark my Mojo...how do you?
I would love to hear your ideas!
Cricut - Stretch Your Imagination
Really Reasonable Ribbon - ric rac
Sarah Bond - epoxy letters
Reminisce - white pen
Tulip - puffy paint
Heidi Grace - pattern paper


As an added bonus, I have some Christmas goodies to give away!

Just leave me a comment letting me know how you find the creative Mojo when it's hiding!
Let's inspire each other, who knows, you may be helping someone today!

Hi Sandee :D Aww, he is sooo cute!
When I need inspiration I come here and all my other favourite blogs and look at what other's have created and how they did it - then POW!! I usually end up with lots of wonderful ideas that make me smile for ages. Thank you :0) Mo x

Lots of crafty stuff there! I usually blog hop around looking at what other people are doing and that gets the juices flowing. Some times it is a kick in the butt by my DH cause he says I get gripey and he tells me to go in my craft room and don't come out till I get it worked out....oh my! He is really such a sweetheart to put up with me!

Digging through piles of patterned paper often sparks my mojo. I have my papers sorted by color family, so I pick a color that is appropriate for my mood or the season and start pawing though. If I don't feel like doing that sometimes I'll make a repeat card (something I've made before) and the act of creating gets me going. Other times it is best to just wander off and not sweat the lack of mojo. I love your happy, perky, dancing gingerbread dude.

Too darn cute Sandee!!! Hey, when I need to find my mojo, I just need to come visit your blog!!!

Kim said...

My creative mojo dies ALOT soooo I visit my friend's blog for inspiration. I'm pretty impressed with all her creations! BTW, that would be you. :)

Love the gingerbread man, too cute! I watched Halloween movies to get in the Halloween spirit, and the Christmas cd's are getting ready to be played this weekend! I tend to resist Christmas music until after Thanksgiving, but I need my mojo now!

I love that card!

When I lost my mojo, I either try to make something small, like a tag or a project life journaling card. Or I look around on blogs and pinterest until I see something that inspires me to create!

I also will watch "crafty" shows, like Project Runway and Craft Wars. I don't think I've ever sat down and watched an episode of either, but always was creating while they played in the background!

I get motivated by looking at what the beautiful women in my Mixed Media groups are doing, by going on Pinterest and looking at YouTube videos. I also keep a sketchbook full of ideas that I come up with during class and put them in there so if I'm ever stuck, I can go back and make what I wanted.<3 Thank you for the beautiful offer!

Great Card. The "icing" looks real and the rick rack adds to the dimension.

I usually tidy stuff - sure to find something you haven't used in ages if not your mojo.

It looks like that gingerbread boy is ready to run right down the road, so cute! I get my inpiration from challenges, and I love papercrafts and Stamper's Sampler magazines.

Your word is SPARK today and I have just bought some SPARKLERS as we are going to a firework display tonight. Jolly cold here though.

Pinterest definitely has to be my ultimate creative juice provider! lol
But taking a look at all the blogs out there is another good way to find my always-getting-lost mojo, too!
Thank you for the giveaway Sandee. ♥

Kisses,
