mixed bunch

So, as usual it has been a while.   I have been struggling so much with what I want to do with my cards.  It has been difficult because so many people say they love them but nobody seems to want to buy them.  So for a while I felt kind of worthless, blah, blah, blah.Then I had to remember that there are literally millions of creative and talented artists out there that never are "successful".  I am not nearly as talented as most out there so I should probably just get over myself.

 Then I bought a new stamp set that happened to coordinate with a punch that I already had and all of a sudden, once again i didn't care if anybody liked or wanted my cards.  I have a need to create and a love of doing it.  So I created........



created and I am so glad I did.  I love this punch and stamp set.  they are both from stampin up as is all the paper.  The stamps are called mixed bunch, the word "heartfelt is from a stamp set that has long been retired but it fits so perfectly with this set.

So out of my funk and my need to feel special and into just doing what I love, which is making cards that I feel I can be proud of and if they happen to bless someone else, well then even better!
Happy creating!
