Sometimes Less is More

I was about to do a cutaway card this afternoon, but when I began to cut the paper I'd chosen I realized that the paper itself was the focal point of the card.  I'm ashamed to say how little effort went into this card, but here it is.  I also have to admit that the past couple of days have been hard.  I've been feeling the effects of my kidney disease and it's showing up everywhere.  I keep thinking just one good night's sleep and I'll jump back in the saddle.  I can't put my finger on what's wrong exactly. Certainly some symptoms are recognizable.  Maybe it's a comparison of myself now to myself a year ago. There has definitely been a toll.   Whatever it is, I'm not feelin' good at all.  I have a couple of projects I'd like to tackle.  I've recently seen a wallet/gift card holder/coupon wallet and now want to search out a tutorial.  If anyone knows of one please give me a holler.

I'm going to set myself a goal tonight.  Tomorrow, make another cut away card and don't cut any corners.  If I can't do it then I'll know I've really hit a slump.  The past couple of days I've been looking at everyone's creations and thinking that my own show a singular lack of talent and ability.  Maybe we all feel this way from time to time.  Couple the craft funk with my actual health and well.  I don't know.

I hope everyone has a great weekend planned.  If anybody knows of any cool tutorials I'd love to hear about them.  Seriously.
