Today, I want to share a bit of a creative nudge with you.  When I get “scrappers block” one of the things that helps me get my creativity flowing again is to create a few embellishments of my own design.  The pressure to finish a layout or card is lifted, and I can just have fun creating embellishments to use later on.

Next time your mojo deserts you, here are few ideas for making your own embellishments.

• Cardstock flowers.  There are tutorials all over the web.  Just search for “Cardstock Flower Tutorial.”  And watch this blog, I am working on a new idea for cardstock flowers that I will share as soon as I perfect it.
• Stamped, glimmer misted embellishments.
• Bleached embellishments (imagine using this technique and then using the resulting paper to make a flower.  Gorgeous!)
• 3-D Vines or flowers.
• Glittered Die Cuts (Make your own from cardstock for total customization)

Once you create a few of your own embellishments, link us up here in the comments section and share them with us.  Please?  I can always use more ideas.
