Default Creative Block May Have Subsided

For almost 18 months I have had to force myself to make cards. Today, I was off of work and all of a sudden I had a spurt of creativity and enjoyed making almost ten cards. It felt GREAT!!!!

Wonderful news!! I have been a slump also and I went and made a couple of cards today and even started a double scrap page!!!

It is so nice to look at a completed project and in your case, 10!!!
Great job!

I've been a funk for a few months myself. Will be making a trip home to the U.S. (to Mississippi) in 2 days---we haven't been home in 6 months. HOPING the trip will get me back in the mood. Already sent an SU order so it will be at my mom's when I get there, then will hit Hobby Lobby and Michaels, so I bet I'll feel better soon!!! Glad you are!!!

GREAT news!!!! 10 cards in one day is MIND BLOWING!!!

I have felt uninspired, (on and off) for 3 years now...I have had to FORCE myself to try new techniques, etc...I have found that participating in the daily challenges is a real help....

Before Christmas and Valentine's, I had A LOT of orders--cards are a bit hard to find here, and I think that is what got me. Summer is usually quiet, a lot of people leave (can't take the 130 degree heat!!) I stay in and create. My goal is to just do the daily challenges---that will keep me working, I will not be killing my self, putting out 5 or 6 cards a day, but I will still have cards on hand if someone wants/needs one. I really like it when they post them late night in the U.S.--that is my early morning here!!!! I have all day to work on it.
