More Art Stash! More Creative Projects!

Oh, I can't wait to get my hands on the art supplies I got today! I wish the weekend is longer as I have plenty of stuff in my head and the creative juice seems to be flowing freely lately. Thank you Lord for that. I thought I'll never be able to create stuff anymore after that long sabbatical.

I made a grunge/Victorian/Shabby inspired tag last night. I'm starting to get the hang of making shabby chic projects. I have yet to learn the tips and tricks of masking, embossing, distressing and mixing inks to have that old look and feel. I'll get to that. Meanwhile, I need to sort my arts supplies and better find a bigger table to accommodate my expanding tools.

I bought a heating tool for embossing, some dye/pigment based inks for stamping, some patterned papers and card stocks and finally got my much awaited cutting tool - Silhouette Cameo! And all these were purchased from the fruits of my blogging earning. I'm so happy and blessed to be able to follow my dreams and actually live it.

I hope it's always weekend! I have so many projects to do and so little time!

Encouraging Creativity

My creativity is still in hiatus for some months now. I am not sure when it will come back but I am looking forward to the day where I can create handmade cards and beautiful scrapbook pages again. I am also excited to get that Silhouette Cameo machine so I better have this creative juice flowing soon.

I am trying my level best to get it back but not being too forceful that will affect the passion I have with my projects. As of now, I have started the "rehabilitation" of my creativity by subscribing to my favorite crafty magazines. I have also browsed endless projects of crafty people for inspiration and I see a small spark right there in my brain. Yes, that little spark might just ignite the sleeping monster that I call "creativity."

Apart from the online activities, I am also looking at beautiful scenery and thinking of happy thoughts so at least I draw some inspiration from them. I feel it will come. I just don't have an iota of idea when.

Holiday season is creeping up fast and I just hope that I get this juice cranking before then so I can come up with pretty little crafty things to give to my family and friends.
