I started off 2013 with good intentions about being more regular with my submissions on my blog. Well what happened? Goodness knows!!! I know for a time I lost my incentive to go into my craft room and be creative, and hence no more designs posted to my blog.
Maybe what stirred my conscious was the arrival of two Scott publication magazines showing some of my cards. Nothing unusual with that you might think, but I have not submitted designs to magazines or to any design teams for nearly a year. Not only that I had not been active on my favourite rubber stamping website The Stamp Shack.
So I decided to "pull my socks up"...a favourite quotation for meaning...get on with the task in hand.
Now I am hosting three swaps at the moment, and in an attempt to conjure up people to participate, I am not only offering to pay return postage, but also to add in some freebies from my own craft room.
The reason for this is two fold. I am cleaning out and reorganising my craft room (AGAIN) and I have more cardstock, decorative paper and products than I shall ever use in my lifetime. So, hopefully a clean tidy craft room and goodies to share with other crafters.
Here are two card designs I made recently.
Stamps used in the card on the right are from Sparklensprinkle and Alius Smith and Rowe. Rock star words by Paper Artsey.
