Not that Inspired

Ahhh!  I've been struggling with motivation to design May's "Rough and Rugged" cards/projects these past few weeks... I'm having major creative block as I catch up in other areas of life.  When life is busy, I tend to avoid these "harder" creative tasks, such as designing cards.  But I've been making major progress on my Holy Land digital album.  Woohoo!
Some ideas I will employ to hopefully help me get out of this funk (soon, I hope!):
  • Take a step away.  I hate sitting with all my papers and tools a'clutter with no end product that I'm pleased with.  Sometimes it's part of the creative process, but most times I know myself well enough to just put the project on hold.
  • Back to the drawing board.  I look through old magazines, crafting websites, and the CM project center to hopefully get that new burst of inspiration.  You never know what will catch your eye as you browse these resources multiple times.  Old projects can also be given new life with a simple twist!
  • Pray.  Since God is the source of inspiration and all things creative, why not offer Him a prayer?  I find He will pop amazing ideas into my mind at the most random times!
