If at first you don't succeed...

Ever had the experience of being stuck for a creative idea? Of staring at your stamping stash and not being inspired at all? Of having multiple false starts on a project? Yeah. Me too! I'm not going to admit to you how many false starts this card had. 


I started with the "create" sentiment from Stampin' Up's Layered Labels set. And then I got stuck. I couldn't get the colors right. I didn't like the layouts I was working with. So I stepped away for a few hours. Did the dishes. Watered the tomatoes. Read a book. When I returned to my crafting table, fresh ideas started pouring out of me. Things started clicking and I had a finished card in less than 15 minutes! Sometimes walking away does the trick!
