Aren't Those My Ideas!?

Hello everyone!

I am not posting a card today. I have to though make a comment about all the cards that I have seen around in all the different blogs and cards of people participating in the so many challenges.

I have noticed in more than one occasion people have had the same ideas I have had. Does that ever happened to you? I have gone around looking at the color challenges as well as the layout challenges and amazes me that when I check the already submitted cards they have either the layout or the same use of colors I was thinking of... waut a minute...Aren't those my ideas?! should I still go for it and create a card that would look like the one someone else's made?! What do you guys do in this situation? It is very acquard and very incredible that this happens. I have to say that it happened too many times this weekend.

Anyway, that makes me be a bit down and creatively bumped for this weekend.

I have also find that the expectations on some of these challenges have gone either very low or is it that the winners are picked up randomly by a computer software?! if someone knows about what is going on with the challenges or me, please let me know!

Thanks for reading!
Hugs

Hi Karla,

When I'm working on a challenge, I purposely try not to surf blogs. I don't want to see what people have created for that same challenge. If you do this, you won't feel "bumped". It's OK to later on see that someone had a similar idea, but it didn't stop you from creating your own version.

Karla---I agree. When I blog hop I get totally overwhelmed and think there is no way I can make a card. BUT people do have the same ideas and similar styles so I wouldn't let it worry you. Just go for it and be YOU! And I know that YOU and your style is pretty darned great!

Anthonette,

You are very right but I tried not to browse the blogs when I want to submit a card into a challenge it is after I make it that I realize they have either have the same ideas... ohh well I think I am over reacting... so I will just keep up with my new thing... don't get up from the chair until a card comes up!

Thanks for the words of encouragement and always being so supportive girl!

Tons of hugs!

Thanks for your support and always positive attitude!

I try not to look at other's entries either. It keeps my mind focus on just my ideas, but sometimes, I see other's have the same ideas too! :)
