  1. Jacque,

    May I just say…I love you!!! I am also a SU Demo (US) and have been following you for a while. You stamp in my style and I love all of your creations!!! I’m trying to get my business more online and I find that I seem to be slow in everything I do, especially when making cards. I always feel rushed and behind in showing sets and things for each catalog that I can’t be as creative as I like so I tend to CASE (I will also admit that I’m an over the top card maker somewhat so I have trouble doing simple). Any suggestions for speedier card making and having enough confidence to come up with my own designs? I can do it when I don’t feel rushed (which is never when running this as a business)

    1. HI Lisa! I know just what you mean. It’s very difficult to be creative when there’s too much pressure. It takes all the fun right out of it. My best suggestion is just practice and more practice. I have found that my customers actually prefer more of a mid-level difficulty in projects – something that showcases an idea or technique, but not so complex they can’t re-create it later. Making yourself do videos and/or blogging on a very regular schedule will force you to practice and to learn to be quicker. We tend to make tasks fill as much time as we give them, so shorten that time. You’ll get quicker! 🙂
