Gold Cross and the MOJO'S Gone

I guess I used all on my mojo on that one card for the Mojo Monday Challenge. I REALLY struggled with this card. This is from a sketch for the Viva la Verve Friday Challenge. I had this idea and then it just fizzled out. BLAH! And things went downhill from there. I adhered my Large eyelets too tight and they punkered ( is that a word?) the suede paper. BTW, suede paper is just as hard to keep clean as real suede. I got water marks on it from cleaning my stamp too close. I promised I would post today so that is why I am putting it up. I try to keep my promises no matter what the cost. Even humiliation. No, it's not that bad. It's just not what I had envisioned.

I am just going to give a simple recipe. I have to get into town for a dr. appt. I guess I am getting really old because I have TWO dr appts. today. Sorry to be such a downer. Hopefully the sunshine will bring back some spark of creativity in me later.
Happy blessings to you!
