I have card/scrappers block

I was going to be full of good intentions this year. Last year, I was finishing off a OU course and made cards when I should have been really studying/writing essays, found it a good stress reliver/distracter! Now I have more time this year, I just don't seem to use it to good effect, just spend the time organising and re-organising my stash and salivating at websites looking at things I must have.

I have loads of goodies, I just need to do something with them. So far, I have made about 5 cards, all at the last minute and all for me, none to sell and I have just finished my first layout. And it's March! Shock Will someone give me a kick up the backside please?

I'm the oppositeGrin

I have no time whatsoever but loads of ideas!

I've only started scrapping recently and so have a huge backlog of life to catch up on. So far the furthest back I have been is to May 2005!

I was really pissed off recently when I hated a double LO I had done, which really put me off. However, I had a good weekend, a LO I'm really pleased with and a birthday accordian book for my Mum which I love! In fact I want one myself:):):)

So big boot from me - I'm very envious of the time you have - so no blinken excuses please!!!!

That sounds like me pootlepod, my bst cards come when there's a deadline for something else lol!.

What about going on \link{http://www.phpbber.com/phpbb/index.php?sid=1bc325677093a71e47dced283601aba9&mforum=declarationscha\here} and joining one of the swaps? I find they force me to do a card, and there's the dealine factor, of course Wink.

Grrr - I've been wanting to sit down for ages & make some cards. Finally had some time today - sat down with an array of stuff around me... and just couldn't think of anything original.

I ended up making 3 cards none of which were particularly spectacular....Sad

..And I had my new eyelets to play with

I need inspiration !!!!
