When I lose my mojo I try a challenge. It can be an online challenge or one I make for myself. Something like create something with only one stamp set, one Paper pack and two embellishments. Or I read other blogs or look through crafty magazines.

your project is really beautiful. it doesn't look like you have lost much mojo. for me, if i have lost it, i stay away from my craft table for a few days and do something else, like knit or read. when i return i feel refreshed. good luck

Hi Linda, you are just pushing yourself too much...go hug that grandbaby and relax!! It will come when you aren't looking for it.

WOW it doesn't look like you've lost your mojo!!! What a beautiful Valentine's Day box.
I switch to knitting, crocheting or sewing to give me a break and when I return to paper crafting I have new mojo!!

This is stunning Linda! I go through mojo loss often. I look at other blogs to inspire me and then do a challenge, sketch, which is my favorite.

Just beautiful! You are so inspiring, even without your "mojo".

I wish my mojo did not work just like yours doesn't. This box is utterly fabulous! It's almost scary to contemplate what will happen when your mojo snaps back to life. Nicely done!

If this is what you create WITHOUT your mojo, then NO WORRIES It's beautiful!

Hi Linda,
When my mojo packs up her bags and leaves, which usually happens when I'm in a time crunch, I look for inspiration in blogs and magazines.
