Sometimes I hit a creative wall. I know you all know what I mean! I just can't think of any new or original ideas, but I still feel like crafting. It's times like those I take a stroll down memory lane. I look at old cards I made that I really like, or cards that make me cringe. From there I usually come up with a new spin on a favorite card, or I find ways to improve those not-so-amazing ones. Pretty much I CASE myself.
For example, remember this card?
This was one I liked. It was a mini 4x4 card and I thought it would be fun to do a larger version. I know, I know, it's May so why am I doing Halloween? I don't know why, but when I saw that old card I immediately thought of my Houndstooth stamp. So here is new spin on my old card. Now that I have a more clear sense of my style it's fun to re-do old cards.
The next Shhh Mommy's Hiding Video will be up Friday. I attempted to finish it up today, but certain little people wouldn't let me :)

Oooooooo!!! Love! I was thinking yesterday about how people do '12 Kits of Christmas' where they make holiday cards each month... well, I'd only do that for Halloween. :) Your card really is so much more your style now - more bold & graphic, less detailed and intricate perhaps?
ReplyDeleteHalloween is my favorite holiday to scrap! So Halloween in May sounds good to me :D Love the card!!

ReplyDeleteI do remember that card, and I love the cased version too! I believe I made a card that was similar yet different when I saw yours last year.
ReplyDeleteBoth cards are fantastic. Just think how prepared you are for Halloween!
ReplyDeleteBoth of these are just adorable! Perfect colors and shading! Good idea to CASE yourself when the inspiration tank is low.
