Remember last week when I was whining about my missing mojo? I thought I'd share the cards that didn't make the trash but didn't thrill me to publicly share them. I'm really hoping to get some challenges done this weekend that I'll be excited about sharing with you ... in between finishing up Allie's graduation announcements and cleaning out some closets.

Nancy, you silly girl, these are BEAUTIFUL!!! You never lose your Mo-jo!!! Thanks for posting. I know you are super busy but thanks for taking time to stamp and post! Can't wait to catch up again.
All these cards look great. No need for these to be hidden away - TFS!!
LOL girl, your work is always amazing! I'm not sure why you worry and weren't thrilled with these cards! I bet you made them with your eyes closed and little effort because you are just naturally gifted with creativity!! Stop being so hard on yourself ;)
Have a fabulous weekend!!!
WOW! I wish my "not for public" cards were so awesome! They are all wonderful! The first is so soft and sweet, the second bright and fun and the third is very elegant. Great Job, and thanks for going ahead and sharing them with us.
I'm very impressed with all 3, they're gorgeous. I particularly like the graduation card. My son is graduating in May and I'm doing his announcements. I see a CASE in my future......
Seriously, you are a very talented lady!! Debra
Great cards Nancy! I love them all, you should be happy with them!! We are our own worse critics! Take care!
All three are great! I really, really like the first one! Just stunning!
SWEET Nancy!!!! You sure have MOJO going on... even though you have LOTS on your plate right now!! I can always use graduation card ideas and I have this set too!! And you inspired me with the Darling Dots card as I just received it... NOW TO PLAY!! Smiles girl... :)
I know how you feel when you sometimes create something and then think . . . hmmmmmmm. However, I think all three of these cards are wonderful. We are all our own worst critics! Hugs, Mary
You always do FABULOUS work Nancy and these are no exception!! Not sure what you don't like, I love all three of them, especially that second one with the vibrant red and black, really pretty! *STAMPIN HUGS* Alex
These are beautiful cards, crazy lady! I think sometimes we're too hard on ourselves, thinking everything has to be a "masterpiece" before we post it, and it turns out they really are masterpieces, but since we get all crazy and obsessed, we can't see that! Hmmm, am I talking about you or me here? lol!
I think all three cards a fabulous Nancy!
Wow these cards are awesome!!! Me thinks you are a bit to critical of your talent. STOP THAT...lol. I am glad you shared the cards with us thanks.

so glad you decided to share these cards, they are fantastic!!!! All of them are great colors and lovely papers..!!
Your "no mojo" is pretty darn fabulous! You are too hard on yourself.
I love these cards as well! The red & black (w/ladybug - VERY cute) is my favorite! But I think they are all very worthy of blog life. Great design on all three. Thanks for sharing! Smiles, KellyL
I just love them all ... as usual, but my fave is the first one. It's so soft and elegant looking .. love the pink and gray together!
