CaS in het weekend 289 / CAS in the weekend 289

Alweer Mei... We proberen in alle rust te genieten van elke dag in deze rare tijd waarin je soms vergeet welke dag het is, omdat de dagen veel meer op elkaar lijken als eerst.  Je denkt veel meer te kunnen doen nu je niet naar buiten mag zonder goede reden, maar dat betekend niet dat je overal zin in hebt. De afgelopen dagen even geen inspiratie om iets te maken. Maar vandaag ben ik begonnen met wat CaS kaarten en dat was weer fijn om te doen...

Already May...We try to enjoy each day of this wired time in relax-mode in wich you sometimes forget wich day it is because the days look so much more alike as before. You would think you have so much more time to do things now you cannot go out of the house without a good reason to do so, but that doesn't mean you would like to do everything... The last couple of days I just had no inspiration to make something. But today I started with some CAS cards and it felt good to do this again...

  6. I liken the days to an ongoing weekend Gerrina and Monday never arrives, it's all very strange living like this.

    What a super fun card with the Elephant, but oh that floral one, I love the colours and design. I hope you don't mind but I've captured a picture and going to use it for inspiration - I've not crafted since the lockdown started, I just can't concentrate despite all this time on my hands and just thankful that I had already finished work to fall back on for DT use, otherwise my blog would be pretty empty.

  14. That first one illustrates the sentiment wonderfully, Gerrina ... a ballet dancer and an elephant are definitely unexpected friends ... so fun! The watercolour is deliciously soft with the collage-y tall blooms ... so pretty! Hugs, Anita :)

  15. I know exactly what you mean-I feel the same, managed to make a few cards the last few days but have struggled. But so glad you got your mojo again and so pleased that one is for CASology-I adore how she hugs the elephant and the contrast in colours is superb. I also love the CAS design of the second. Take care my friend and fab to see you at CASology x

  29. Glad your creativity has been rekindled; I think many of us are experiencing similar feelings. I've found that making cards with small images is sparking my crafting these days. Both your cards are lovely. I'm especially smitten with your entry to Inkspirational; soooo pretty! Thank you for joining us!
