Hello there! Managed to make a card today... yay! I know many of you have found yourself at various times in a place where you feel like your creativity has fled to places unknown...never to return! Well, I have found myself in that place several times over these last few months. I try to make something, anything, but to no avail. This past week I have found myself, once again, in that place. In an effort to combat this vague sense of malaise I decided to make a card and bake cookies, at the same time. Thankfully both the card and the cookies turned out fine! In fact my little guy pronounced my cookies "amazing"... I didn't ask him about the card, lol. You can be the judge!

I used items from the Crate Paper Close Knit line, Avery Elle stamps and dies (Petals & Stems) and the current
Sketchbook Saturday layout as my blue print. I will be linking this up to the current
AEI {heart} U challenge: one word. And since there is a ton of die cutting I think I will link it up to
Virginia's View #5. Given the state of crafting mind I'm rather pleased with how it turned out. Maybe I should bake cookies and make cards at the same time on a regular basis! I would love to hear what you do to get yourself out of a creative funk. Now... here are the cookies.
Thanks for stopping by...
