A Card a Week - Crabby Creations


To keep myself blogging regularly and increase my paper crafty skills, I recently decided to make a card a week and put it up on the blog.  I really enjoy stamping and doing paper crafts, but I generally have a very hard time creating things on my own.  It's like I get overwhelmed.  I came to this conclusion when I took the Creativity Bootcamp Class at Ink About It a few months ago.  

So, I figure, the best way to get myself to be less uptight about making cards is to just jump in and do it, even though it might be uncomfortable for awhile.  So, I did and this was the first card I came up with.  It's a little busy, but that is ok.  Making my cards too busy is another one of my usual downfalls.  I just don't seem to know when to stop. Anyway, back to the point.... so if any of you are crafty and want to make the cards I do for my card a week, I will include in the post a list of materials needed to recreate them.

    What a beautiful card, and not just because I am craving the beach right now. I don't think it is too busy at all. Keep up the good work.
