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.
Supplies: Cardstock: PTI white; Close to My Heart yellow; Stamps: Avery Elle Petals & Stems; Dies: My Favorite Things Jumbo Fishtail Flag Stax; Spellbinders plain square & rectangle dies; Avery Elle Petals & Stems dies; Ink: Memento Ladybug, Tuxedo Black, Pistachio & Cantaloupe, Stampin Up! Ink Pirouette; Patterned paper: Crate Paper
Been is that place too often lately Rosemary! Your card is fantastic and the cookies look yum!
ReplyDeleteI think your card turned out beautifully, Rosemary! The flowers are so pretty, and I love how you placed them on the banner!
ReplyDeleteI follow your blog regularly, and never noticed that your mojo was in a slump...so, just keep creating, my friend! Oh, and those chocolate chip cookies 'look' amazing, too...yum!
the card is a traffic stopper, the cookies look so yummy!
ReplyDeleteTotally beautiful card, my friend! I can never tell when you have mojo problems as your cards always inspire me! I actually go to your blog when I have no idea where to start to make something--thank you!
ReplyDeleteI am glad that ur mojo is back, love layers and yummy cookies. They indeed look amazing!
ReplyDeleteHi sweet Rosi. Those cookies look so yummy. This card is so beautiful and amazing. It is not easy to pair silhouette stamped images with dp and have it stand out. You did it.
ReplyDeleteOh yes, I'm sharing that feeling with you too, Rosemary ... and now I know how to deal with it ... eat ... oops, I mean bake cookies (they look yummy!). Such a lovely card, the posy of flowers is a delight! Anita :)
