    Our new neighbor mentioned a while back that she hosted a monthly craft club at her house.

    I was very intrigued.

    Last week she stopped by to tell me the date and time.

    So last night I packed up a small plastic tote with supplies to make cards. I limited myself to paper from my scrap files.

    I thought this would be a good challenge for me.

    I learned that limited supplies doesn’t have to limit your creativity.

    There was only one thing that I was really missing…my foam mounting tape. One of the gals I just met was gracious enough to give me a few pieces so I could complete a couple of the cards.

    I’m already looking forward to next month!

    Card crazy….

    Just trying to get some new cards made in categories that I didn’t think of before.

    I’ve also got some ideas in mind for Mother’s and Father’s days.

    I should likely think about wedding, baby and graduation while I’m at it.

    But as I have learned…you can’t push it…just have to let it happen.

    Paint experiments

    I was feeling the need to just paint. I wasn’t sure what I wanted to DO so I grabbed some paper and just DID.

    It was really fun and free. As in free like a bird, of course.

    So I ended up with a 9×12 sheet of watercolor paper covered with random painting..mostly geometric in style.

    I decided to cut it up a bit for card backgrounds.

    Sort of like serendipity pages.

    20130321_1666I made these three cards and have some painted page left over for who knows what.

    I did a few more background sheets that haven’t fired up my inspiration yet. I figure the more I push it…the less inspired I get.

    In the mean time I’m getting more cards made. I found out today that I’ll be able to do another craft show in April. Nothing like a deadline to get me working!!
