Hi there! Kay here with a mojo-buster for you.
Sometimes when my mojo takes a hike, I change something up. Like for this layout instead of my normal 12x12 layout I tried something different. An 8.5x11 layout.
I also used another favorite technique, which is blocking. It helps me get past the not-so-creative moments.
What do you do to keep creative?
And don't forget,
Scrapbook Trends is sponsoring a giveaway here on the Simple Stories blog. Comment today, and everyday from June 5th-9th for your chance to win a free copy of Scrapbook Trends' June issue featuring our fun Fabulous collection! Winners will be announced on the blog next Tuesday.

I surf the web when the mojo goes on vacation. Rather than shop and collect papers, i surf and surf to discover new creativity
