creativity

it has really been a while since i made any cards, save for a few birthday and/or thank you cards here and there (which i tend to not mass produce). come to think of it, the last time i made a birthday card was in september, for jon and mark (birthdays). before that, it was probably during the summer when kate was here, i'm sure i had time to spit out a few ten to send to dulcinea to display and sell. so this weekend when i started making cards again... i remembered: I LOVE MAKING CARDS!!! it is as simple as that. i was amazed at how quickly my creative juices start to flow. this weekend, i made a flurry of thank you cards in anticipation of the upcoming baby shower. they are darling. i'd post a picture, but then everyone would know what kind of adorable yet seasonal surprise was heading their way! next, as the juices really got moving, i found a tutorial online of how to make what will be my baby announcements, and i have since picked out all the paper and ink and ordered it from my stampin' up! demonstrator! i've also started on my christmas cards. made 1 of 10 so far (need to assemble the remaining 9, everything is already cut and painted). i want to post a picture of the first one so bad... but it'll ruin someone's surprise! ...how frustrating...
