This week I just couldn't sit down & create cards for challenges as much as I'd like to. I tried. I tried again, but I just ended up sitting at my table staring at my TV screen or looking out my window. I have a lot to do, but I just couldn't get myself to do it. I made sure that I completed my DT tasks & shop orders, of course.
Since finding all of my old jewelry, I had these wonderful plans to recycle it all into creations. I managed to create two things so far. This is the second one, the first one can be found here.

The bow is from a choker. It's actually the backing that was coming off, so I stripped it & turned it into the bow. Very soft & supple material with a rich brown color. I still have the rest of the choker to work with, too.
The other details include a chipboard flourish that I covered & sealed with glitter, leaf stickers & faux flowers/
Have you ever been blah about your craft? If so, how did you get out of it? I'd love to hear your story :)
This card was submitted to wonderful challenge blogs - See below for links & details, so you can create your own & join in the fun!

This is so pretty! Love the way you used the bow off the choker and those pretty flowers! Can't get much better than a little purple and green together too. NICE!!
I'm STILL in my "craft blah" so really can't help you out on that one! I do the same thing - just go to my craft area and stare at the walls! LOL!

WOW you did a great job! Love the colors and details! Hey I've hit brick walls before as far as coming up with a crafting idea. I usually will go to my computer and visit other blogs to get some inspiration and also check what challenges are available. Then I make me an Iced Expresso and that's when the Mojo starts to flow. Thanks for visiting my blog today and giving me a sweet comment and a lead on a challenge!! I'm goiing to become a new follower of yous!

Love the vibrant colors! It's okay, we all have one of those weeks. You'll come back all recharged and full of new inspiration! ;)
such rich, vibrant colours. Gorgeous.
Thanks for playing along again on the Use Your Stuff challenge.
Aaww . . it's so nice to hear that I'm not the only one :) It's funny how you can end up spending more time staring at your supplies than actually using them - Maybe that's why I have SO much of them. Ha!
Very pretty! Great colors and good for you for using up your old goodies.
Thank you for joining us at Shopping Our Stash!
Hugs, Alica ;)
