Birthday Balloons

I feel like I've been creatively challenged lately.  

I spend a lot of time staring at blank paper, wondering what to make.  I have so many cute things to try and incorporate that it's almost overwhelming!

How do you get your creative juices flowing?  

I picked one thing I liked--the balloon framelit die--and asked myself "How can you use this in a way that you've never seen before?"  I also love the Birthday Bash designer series paper, but I could never pick just one print!

This is what emerged from my indecisiveness.  A little busy, perhaps, but I like it.
 Especially the petite cafe bag!

 It was so super simple.  I started with a blank piece of white, used the framelit to cut balloons out of all my prints, then arranged them to cover the white piece.  Then I cut a balloon out of the collage of craziness, attached it to my white card base, and stamped in the negative space!

See what happens when you try something new!
