STAMP CLUB ROCKS!

Had the best time today! We meet once a month and make cards. What could be better?! Twice a month! The best part are the women of course. So neat to have such a group like this. I also love using some stamps that I normally wouldn't even look at. Not my style, but these cards turned out awesome! The stamp set is called NATURE WALK from Stampin Up. All three of these cards use this set. You can find it in their MINI catalog available until April 30th.

I am going to count these cards as the three I needed to catch up. All I want to do when I get home from club is to make more cards! It's sunday night though and that means showers and stuff for the kids and all that. I wonder what tomorrow will bring.

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.

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 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.

2.22.11 - 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.

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.
