Have you ever...

Just felt like your creativity was totally drained??  I was talking to my friend Lauren earlier today, saying how I felt TOTALLY uncreative.  I was faced with the JUGS challenge for today, and was DREADING it, because I really have been stuck in a rut.  I get into grooves sometimes, where the ideas just FLY, but there are other times when I sit and just STARE at all the goodies laid out before me, and get....well....nothing.

Then I went to my trusty computer, and took a look at the challenge before me once more...these colors...hmmmm....

and I suddenly felt a little twinge.  It was strange...like a spark maybe...and all of a sudden, I started to see a layout in my head, layers, texture - WHAT?!?!?!  it was CREATIVE thought! lol.

Now -- I will admit- I goofed off...sort of.  Before I made the card (yes, I really did wait until tonight to do it...I just couldn't make anything earlier this week) I watched the movie "What Happens in Vegas"...have any of you seen it??  It's with Ashton Kutcher and Cameron Diaz...I have to say, I liked it.  Made me chuckle, made me smile, and of course -- the happy ending...I'm a sucker for a happy ending, you know.  But it's main theme is LOVE...which FINALLY brings me to my card (I'm sure you were wondering if I'd EVER get here - lol).

I decided I would take these delicious colors that Kristin gave us to play with this week, and make a valentine card...I may give this to my Dad to give to my Mom for Valentine's day...what do you think???

So, if you get the chance - see the movie -- it's light-hearted and sweet with some funny rolled in...maybe a good movie to watch with that special someone on Valentine's day even :).

Now -- go check out what the rest of the girls have made this week -- all I can say is WOW!!
