It's Wednesday... Heartfelt Creation Wednesday to be exact...

Ever have a week or 2 where the mojo is not flowing as it should well this is me going on my second week of being completely and utterly unable to throw a page together.  I have tried and tried... I actually have a few bases completed because I started a page with an idea, started putting it together and lost my focus and had to start over.  I must have demolished 5 pages of pattern paper cutting it this way and that way till there was nothing left, lol!  I would hit a block and have to start over.  Yesterday I was getting desperate because I was still had nothing to show you today.  I'm not sure if it is the vacation that through off my balance or stress or what but I know that nothing was working.  I scoured the internet for a sketch that would inspire me and I found this great sketch over at Sketchabilities and thought it might work...



well I started throwing stuff on the page and it started looking good to me, it was put together in no time.  Today I was going to glue it down and I couldn't it just didn't look right to me (again) and as hard as I tried I just lost the vision or something.  I figured I was out of time so with a half hearted effort I glued it all down.  It was still missing something but I couldn't quite put my finger on it.  Then it hit me I needed some more color.  It was looking sort of blah.  I took out my scissors and started cutting down the edges of the cardstock... not so easy to do after everything is glued down.  Added a peice of pattern paper as my mat and now I like it... I really like it!  Here it is...


I had a picture with my daughter, neice and nephew playing with the rabbits so I cropped the picture to get just 1 child per picture.


I then added foliage and flowers, including my lacy glass flowers from the tutorial here.  The pink flowers were made from plain vellum that I stamped, inked with alcohol ink and shaped with my stylus.  I think I like the vellum flowers besides the glass flowers.  They work well together in my opinion.  Oh and butterflies... I fussy cut the butterflies from the back of the green paper and stacked them added a bit of glue and glitter to the centers to finish them off.  Oops and bling... lots of bling on this page.  With the gorgeous flower centers that I got from Heartfelt Creations I needed some bling to bring even more focus to the gorgeous centers.


I used some sticker alphas for the title, these are from Prima and I love that the gems are already on the stickers.  The more sparkle the better.


Well that is it... that is my page.  I'm so glad with the way it turned out, I'm just sad that I couldn't get it done quick enough to get it showcased on the Heartfelt Creation Blog this week but hopefully I have found my way out of my blah-ness.  Yes I know that now I'm just making up words but it is the only thing that seams to fit with my issues the last 2 weeks.  Well hope your creativity has been sparked and don't forget to check out what the rest of the DT team did this week.  I can guaranty that there is nothing wrong with there mojo!  Those girls rock!
