Welcome to the Creation Station Blog Hop! You’ve either started here or have hopped over from Kerstin Kreuzer, no matter how you got here thank you for joining in this amazing hop. This month we are working under an interesting theme of Girl Power. Which I love don’t get me wrong however I had an interesting conversation about this theme and my ideas. I’ll go into this a little later.
From the moment I saw the theme I knew it was the ideal time to crack open the Leave a Little Sparkle Stamp Set and final use it. For those of you who know me, I LOVE UNICORNS, so much so it’s my Stampin’ Up! Teams mascot. However I haven’t yet used this set and I’m not sure why.
I’m going to blame my ignorance of being male on today’s card, I am all for girl power and equality of the genders. Now onto today’s the story which explains this statement, I was at work and was discussing my ideas for today’s project, expressing how excited I am to see how it turns out. My
colleague response wasn’t the excitement I expected instead it was just shock as she said that it doesn’t say girl power at all. I was a little like ‘But unicorns?’ however this didn’t help… She was saying however when she thinks of girl power she thinks of the Marie Curie, Frida Kahlo and Emmeline Pankhurst. My problem was showing these inspirational women in a card.
I stuck with the original idea and concept purely because I felt the sentiment says it all; Make Sure Your Dreams Come True. Out of everything this is what we all need to be told from time to time and it’s only by us working hard we can make sure our dreams come true. Things got a little serious but I hope I’ve covered my back!
