The process of creating...

Sometimes, it's very easy and the ideas are just hopping out of my brain and onto my desk.  Other times, not so much.  So what do I do when inspiration just isn't there?  I start by finding the stamps I want to use and then I choose a couple of papers.

Then I look through my idea book or any of our Make It From Your Heart guides and find something that I think will work.  I figured the design below would work with my horizontal sentiment and that I would use the eggplant stripes instead of the yellow and the floral print instead of the white/clouds.

Well, somewhere along the way, I decided I didn't quite like that look so I tried a couple of other things and voila!  My card was complete.  It's funny how I start out trying to copy and end up being creative on my own without even knowing it :)  Same basic card/different look altogether!

And that's how my process works!  By the way, even if you straight up copy a card, it still counts as being creative.  The pieces didn't put themselves together, after all, did they?
