Tagged by Di Hickman - I have to tell you all 5- 10 ways I come up with things to put on my blog.
Something different, so fun to have a go :
1. My blog was originally focused on highlighting the latest & the greatest in terms of craft product updates.
It has since evolved as a blog for me to share my handiwork or original creations .
Frankly I oughta start a new blog for that purpose & I’d call it Pearl’s paperfections rather than using the current one – kind of a misnomer !
2.Having said that , I have stumbled upon so many wonderful blogs/sites , many still mushrooming up that gets me going in terms of what I put up here !
Happily I started with cards – dares / challenges – http://www.daringcardmakers.com/ was the very first & still a fave one to be a participant with !
Some other faves : Card Positioning Systems , Sketch This Card , Caardvarks etc
3.I have also since had more than a few gos with layouts – in fact I feel like doing many at one go these days – time permitting – hey ho ! time hasn’t permitted !
Also thanks to blogs that set out sketches / challenges – currently my faves to work with are :
http://www.dihickman.blogspot.com/ &
http://mysketchworld.blogspot.com/
then there are soo many dare sites for layouts –
Effer Dares,Scrapjacked, Pencillines , Australia, UK Dares, How Much is too Much ! too many to list ! all waiting for me to have a go as well ! phew !
4.I am now wondering which way to evolve – always nice to do things a little unpredictably I feel ! lol
I am thankful to blogs that provide tutorials , how tos , resources , prompts other than setting challenges . Perhaps I could try writing more next ! lol
Di Hickmans’s one –
Ana Cabrera’s :-

Many stamping focused blogs have a lot of resources as well !
5.Many projects are seasonally inspired – like currently Mother’s Day – still trying to get started on trying to work on some MM chipboard shapes to try a shaped greeting !
I know I had a blast last year with Christmas creations as with my Valentine’s Day / love themed cards this year
I could go on … but I think I’d leave them for another time ! lol
ok tagging Paula , Kathy , Gillian , Dawn , Kandis
