Developing my Creative Side....Humph....

I decided to try and make homemade greeting cards. I used to be creative! My daughters and one daughter-in-law are quite creative. What is my deal???? I've tried to copy idea's, I even had a friend cut the pieces and all I had to do was glue it down. The corners don't match, and it totally looks pasted together. Do I NOT have a sense of color? My Mother for years has crocheted the most "colorful" articals.....in fact I've often wondered why she randomly utilized the colors she did....I'm serious what ever color turned her fancy...that's the color she used she is the woman of many colors.....I'm more of a color pattern person and in this art form, I can't seem to get that right. I've slipped, I've boo booed, I've mis-matched, My ribbons aren't streight, my scalops aren't even, my messages aren't clever....But I'm going to forge ahead....I'm going to be creative if I have to put out the same card with 20 different messages..... I will be creative! I will be creative! I will be creative!
