Let's Try This Again......

I have tried blogging a few times in the past however my initial steam starts to trickle away rather quickly and then I end up with a blog that hasn't been touched in a few years.  A few of my goals for the new year are to get inspired again and get creative.  I have a room that is chocked full of crafting supplies of the new variety and vintage.  However, every time I step into that room I get completely overwhelmed and close the door.  I think I need to start with a really good organization session in there so I don't freak out every time I open the door.  I guess my first simple goal is to go buy a few containers to sort and store things in. 

I have fired up my creativity a little bit by signing up for a Valentine's Box Swap over on Golden Egg Vintage.  I am very excited about this project.  I adore vintage valentines and this will allow me to use a bunch of great images I have been gathering for a long time.  Here are a couple favs....

Updating to add an ATC I made for a swap today using the matchbook image.  I used some scrapbooking paper, mini pom pom trim, red doily and added stickles glitter glue to the valentine image.  I printed the image and matted it on white paper and used pop dots to make it stand out.  It turned out kind of cute for a quickie.
