Sometimes I just do not have any creative spark. I sit and push pieces of paper around and nothing works. I took a bit of a break from crafting this past week. The ongoing Studio Calico saga has worn me down and made me a little blue. The latest developments have made me very glad I cancelled my membership.
Anyhoo I sat my sad self down and forced myself to craft. It is not the best layout ever but it is done. I worked on something new today and I am happier with that and can feel a little spark of creativity coming back! The subject was thrilled to see all the sequins so I guess that is a win!
These papers are all odds and ends left over from a kit. The patterned paper at the bottom is a Basic Grey exclusive for SC. I am not sure about the others as all the branding strips are gone.
Miss Three was snaffled up by a photographer at a fair we went to and he took quite a few photos of her. I took some of her being photographed and I especially liked her expression in this one. We quite often get stopped by strangers here asking to take a photo of Miss Three. I think she thinks this happens to everyone!
I am having a quiet afternoon with MT. We were hoping to go swimming this afternoon but it is raining just enough to be a pain. I think my knitting project will be getting a lot of attention instead. Time is running out to get it done!
Have a wonderful Wednesday!

ReplyDeletehope the rain stops and you get out to the pool....xxxx
cute layout - I think it's fantastic! I don't think creativity is not always possible on demand - but playing around helps to get it flowing I think!
ReplyDeleteThis is GREAT, love the colours and the sprinkle of embellies is perfect!
ReplyDeleteLove the layout and your girl is so adorable.
ReplyDeletewhat a great layout- love all the embellies on it!!
ReplyDeleteI get like that too, in a funk with crafting and then something will spark my interest again and get me going. I absolutely love your layout, so fun!
ReplyDeleteI'm completely out of the loop, haven't been on the messages boards in a bit, except to talk about my blog. I know there have always been issues with SC which is a shame :(
That is one darling daughter you have! Try to put that SC drama behind you and focus on all the other wonderful companies out there, don't let SC spoil your scrappin' fun! Take care & tnaks for sharing your layout!
ReplyDeleteThere seem to be a lot of lows (too many) in the scrapbooking word right now. Sorry the SC issue is getting you down. :( It sure puts a damper on my creativity too. Good for you for pushing through it and creating such a sweet page. I love the happy addition of the sequins.
ReplyDeleteThe constant drama is why I cancelled my kit subscription. I wasn't in love and hated to go to the forums. Not worth the trouble. Cute layout though.
ReplyDeleteLove the sequins on the layout :)
