...and thought I could turn one of the little "cups" into a shaker card! Well. It just didn't turn out how I envisioned. First of all, I tried filling it with chunky glitter and microbeads. All I made was a huge glittery microbeady MESS! I was using bird stamps - what I think would really have been cool is to use birdseed in the shaker - but that involved going out into my dark garage alone at night and I was just too wimpy. (yes Sue, I know there's a lightswitch right next to the door, but still!) So - I may have to retry the card with birdseed in the near future, when I've found my mojo...After I gave up, I took a look to see what the other ladies came up with - and low and behold Tesa had the same idea to use this sort of packaging!!! But of course hers turned out GREAT!! So... why don't you go ahead and hop on over to Tesa's blog and start the hop there?? It's a circular hop so you'll end up right back where you started. And, leave comments along with the way, because as usual our generous boss Pam is giving away some candy!
Have fun, and I promise I will actually stamp again... someday... :-) Thanks for stopping by!

Ha! At least you didn't announce that I had tried to shove you into the dark and dingy garage.
ReplyDeleteThose flowers are awesome....but I just bought a TON of Primas and must refrain from buying more...
Guess the birds will go hungry..can't believe you were going to feed then Micro beads anyway...LOL
Cute flowers! And nice side-step to the challenge. I have a squillion of those cups, so let me know if you want any. :/
ReplyDeleteAww..well at least the effort was there, and maybe next time those microbeads will work out for ya! BTW, love those Prima flowers, too cute!
ReplyDeleteI hope your creative juices start to flow again soon :) I think it would of been a great idea too and maybe you can try when you aren't pressured by a deadline :)
ReplyDeleteMy mojo has went elsewhere too. Maybe we can both find ours together? :) LOVE those flowers though!
ReplyDeleteI can feel it too Libby, when you see something, get visualize in your mind but end up messy.. so frustating.. Just relax, go outside, refresh your mind and back again in the next days, have fun and no pressure with any challenge, i'm sure you will create WONDERFUL cards!! HUGS :)

Hi Libby! I'm not sure how I missed this post, but I'm so glad I stopped by to see what you were up to. First of all, your story made me smile! Too funny about the garage/light switch. And yes bird seed is a brilliant idea! I hope you will find your mojo soon girly, and that you are enjoying your break, spending time with your little ones. And lastly, I LOVE those flowers! I gotta find me some of those, thanks for the inspiring me to spend money, teehee!
