Where did my mojo go?

Between a summer cold and being bit by the organization bug, I have created next to nothing this week. I have to kick it into high gear - getting trades ready for the Tim Holtz cruise and things ready for the holiday bazaars... Well, I have GOT to get inky!

I had such fun last week watching all the entries into the the challenge at Simon Says Stamp and Show! And the comments here... wow, they blew me away! I wanted to thank all who may still be watching - you warmed my heart and gave me the courage to try again!

Got a card idea spinning around in my head - think I'll head out to the "studio" and give it a try...

My first entry in a blog challenge...

I have no idea how to take a good photo, how to clean it up in Photoshop or most of anything that I'm trying to do, but I have to take the leap and enter a challenge - so this is it!
(Please forgive the photos - I'll learn...)

This week's challenge at Simon Says Stamp and Show is * Tags * This tag is perfect for a gift bag or package containing a hand-crafted gift and was inspired by the beautiful Graphic45 paper and the Tim Holtz Alterations die - what a combination! The dress form is colored using Distress Stain on Grunge Board - the result feels and looks almost like suede.

Thank you for stopping by. I have included the details below.
