In a Crafting Funk

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!

  6. I 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!

    I'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 :(

  8. There 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.

  9. The 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.
