She gave me some advice which works when she 'gets stuck'.
It was to put some things on your desk, and see where it takes you.
So I put some peculiar things on my desk - and it took me to 'twee' land!
Plastic slide mounts - courtesy of Freecycle last year.
Some cute images
Mountboard

I painted the plastic slide mounts a pale shade of pink acrylic paint, then when dry stamped them with Stazon ink.
I sandwiched the images between acetate and then snapped them into the slide mounts.
I added embroidered cream flowers, and put black gems in the centres; rummaged around and found some vintage cream lace and some pretty pink organza ribbon.
I cut out a strip of black mount board, layered a strip of the thick cream lace, then the ribbon, added more cream embroidered flowers and black gem centres.
Punched a couple of holes in the top, and added another length of the organza ribbon!
So although I don't usually do 'twee' - I did today - and I have since hung it up in my studio and looks quite nice against a cream background
So if ever you get stuck - toss some things on your desk - and see where it takes you!
