5 cards this time. Still trying to stay with it. NOT GIVING UP YET!

Sorry that these photos are not that great. These two cards happened because I was in a serious rut and these stripes made me so happy! You may see a few more of these cards. I am behind on etsy, but don't feel the pressure like I do for this blog. The inspiration is returning. I am on my last week of volunteering at the primary school so I think I will have more time.... MAYBE NOT...We will see.

2.23.11 - Inspired by the STRIPES!

This card is sort of made for me. Maybe a cupcake will help?! Yes, I need cupcakes! More rain coming this week and a new adventure next week. I am pretty excited to babysit my niece!

2.24.11 - Inspired by stripes and yummy frosting!

2 more gets me all caught up with a whole new day tomorrow.

These are my favorite two of this sad bunch. The butterfly was made first and the yorkie was made last... All the others happened with great struggle in the middle. What do I need to get back on track? A vacation? New paper? New toys? Nothing. Just time. Lots of new things going on and coming up, maybe I am stressed about it all and nervous. NOT WORRIED though. It will be great! Thanks for showing up to see my SAD SPELL of cards. Just not happy with them. They could be so much more and maybe will be revisited.

2.21.11 - Inspired by a Yorkie named GRIZZLY

2.22.11 - Inspired by... It just happened. Maybe it was the border punch,
or the butterfly stamp.

Not my best run of cards... But I have to get caught up so I can move on...

Ok, for whatever reason, I got behind - Didn't expect to, nor did I want to. But here I am, posting 6 cards that I made this week. Did not pull photos of old cards, but could have. None of these seem to go together and I think that is why I struggled so much. I don't always have the MOJO like I wish I did. The best thing is that now I can get caught up, post and move on -- Maybe even scratching everything that sits on my table unfinished. No stories for these cards, just postings... I O U - 6 cards and here they are.

2.17.11 - Inspired by cat stamps

2.18.11 - Inspired by dear daughter who told me to make a card with this stamp

2.19.11 - Inspired by a recent card magazine

2.20.11 - Inspired by a cupcake cricut image I forgot I had!

6 cards, on their way...

If I can get a halfway decent photo of them. They are all way different than my normal. What is my normal? I don't have a normal - but you will be able to tell that I have been struggling a little bit. I will push through. And DH may be on a business trip nthe rest of the week. MORE TIME for CARDS! YAY!

I O U! Like 4 cards I think....

I have them, but haven't photographed them. And I am heading out of town in a few. I am hoping to return this evening and find some time to get these cards up. I tried to take photos in a hurry and just didn't think that was fair to the cards. :) SO, I will try again tonight or tomorrow. NO SCHOOL TOMORROW!

Thanks for hanging in there, and I decided NOT to beat myself up if I miss a day or two - But to stick with the 365 cards for the year. It has been so great, using all these fun things I have in my space. And that is all I have for you now. Time to pack up and head out.

I think that makes 47 cards so far! YAY!

3 MORE Cards, One post - working ahead.

Finished my order for sympathy cards. These are one of a kind. This first card features Stampin Up paper. Border punch by Martha Stewart. Prettier in person. There was no sunlight today. I actually thought that it was going to rain.

Card 2.14.11 - Inspired by the paper from Stampin Up

I have had this patterned paper for a long time. One of my favorite background papers. Suggesting that there is so much to say without saying it. The flowers are fun using lePlume markers and a water squirt bottle. I could do these all day! HMMM, I think I need new markers. I am going to save up for the set from STAMPIN UP. Yes, that is what I am going to do. Thanks for looking!

Card 2.15.11 - Inspired by background paper

Here's that same bnackground paper with a different mood. I am getting out my blender pen, and learning how to do it. I think that there are a lot of things to do with it - but I need lessons.
I am loving my new oval punch and oval scallop. Great stuff. I am inspired.

Card 2.16.11 - Inspired by the Dove Blender pen. Thanks Carla!
