I'm so bummed

Here I am w/ANOTHER day off, so many cute STAMPS and I have absolutely no creativity!!! I sat & stared at my stuff for 45 minutes & could not do a thing!!! I don't understand it. I looked thru our gallery at all the beautiful & wonderful cards & instead of feeling inspired, I feel un-talented. I haven't done anything in DAYS!!! When I'm at work, all I want to do is come home & stamp but, when I get home, all I do is play on the computer. What is wrong with me???? I feel like I'm wasting so much time & money. I'm wondering if I should try to do a s/b page instead of a card? I haven't s/bed (my first love) in almost 2 years.

Suzi....man if I had a penny for EACH time I said the same things you were saying! I think it would be a great idea to scrapbook. Just do something different. It may be just enough for you to "clear" your mind and feel productive in the craft room. Good luck! If you'd like, post your layout on 2 peas, and let us know, so we can look and say "ooooh, aaaaah!"

This happens to me, too.

Just start making something even if it's awful. You should see some of the crud I've made when I'm in a slump. It does seem to help to go through the motions. Usually I try a sketch, color challenge, or a new technique to get me back in the groove.

That happens to the best of us! Chin up and put on some groovy music and hip hop on some scrapbook pages. It's sure to get your juices flowing again!

That happens to me alot too. I'll just Clean up my space a bit and next thing I know I'm putting a card together. I might get one card done in 2 hours or sometimes 2 days. Just relax it'll happen.

I go through this too. Once I take a few peeks at the gallery and then clean up my room, I am realizing what I have and am making a card again in no time!

Good luck!

I totally understand what your going through - I've been in a slump the last few days myself. I say try a scrapbok page and mix things up a little bit.

You can do it, Suzi! Flip through some magazines or try something new and crazy! :)

Suzi, why don't you go on over to Kerry's gallery where she has a bunch of sketches posted. Pick a simple one, just grab some printed paper and some cardstock and let it guide you!
Just a thought!
