Good morning my bloggy friends!
Well I have been super quiet as of late I know and there are many reasons for that but the biggest is this: I have simply not felt like blogging! I have had this blog for over five years and this is the first time I can honestly say that I have simply not even wanted to blog....about anything....for anyone or any reason!
A few months ago I had some MAJOR disappointments in the "industry" and as the months have passed not only did I have those first disappointments to deal with I also have had additional ones too. Biggest and newest is that Layers of Color as we know it will be closing their doors and they are currently selling off all the stock on hand. This news came as a shock and a surprise to me and it just has taken the last bit of wind from my sails to be honest.
I have taken this last month to reflect my "spot" in the industry and have found I really dont' have one to speak of and that for me is a first in five years!! So I have NO IDEA where or what I will be doing over the coming months but it is sure to be interesting to me seeing as I am simply feeling like I am "out of options" and have no real direction as to where to look next.
There is a silver lining however and I have to report that I finally felt spontaneously creative on Saturday! YAY! It was a great feeling and I have a photo to share of what I created!
This is a shot of a Black Forest Trifle that I created to bring to my husbands annual squadron party. It turned out beautifully don't you think?
I have also kept up my weekly card on Card Postioning Systems and so I will blog those soon too!
And last but not least, I have a plan for the next few posts to also share what I will be creating with some kits from the CardMaker Kit-of-the-Month Club!!! I have designed for a few of the kits and so it's now fun that I get to work with fully finished kits and see what else I can come up with. Having all the matching components to work with really helps take the "guess work" of our design and from this weary designer's heart it's like a breath of fresh air...so I hope you will pop back over tomorrow to see the first project I have created using the "Friendship Blooms" kit, the first you will recieve as a member of CardMaker Kit-of-the-Month Club. :)
