It’s Day 7—of my 100 Days of Creativity! Today’s the Reveal of my completed #artjournal page. I’ve been working a #LayerADay for the past week on this #mixedmedia #faithart page. Being creative for just a few short minutes each day, for #the100dayproject. Tomorrow starts a new page for me. What will it be? What did you create today? Have you challenged yourself to create for just a few minutes each day? Share it in our Creative Community group.
Day 6—100 Days of Creativity. I love color and design! But I also love words! And as a writer, most of my art makes include words. My journal page this week is no exception, so my Layer a Day creativity for #The100DayProject today was designing my words, printing, cutting, inking the edges—and while I was at it, inking the edges of of the page itself, too. Simple layers each day, but it all comes together as a meaningful and beautiful page. I’ll get my pieces glued on and show the finished page tomorrow. My other make for today was HTV….

Day Five—of 100 Days of Creativity, (my makes for #The100DayProject.) Today’s #LayerADay proves my point that creativity can fit into very busy lives. Everyone can find time to be creative. The 100 Day Project is about keeping it short daily, so you can be consistent. This layer couldn’t have taken less time. Not even the recommended no more than 5-10 minutes. Literally just one. But even something so small can pack a powerful punch. After yesterday’s stamping, I questioned if I was done with my background for this art journal page. I decided No, it needs a bit of sparkle!… Continue reading
Day Four—of 100 Days of Creativity, (my makes for #The100DayProject.) My Layer a Day creating continues. Each layer in mixed media, each process and technique adds depth and interest to your project. Today’s layers on my background were stamping, Script writing and splatters. What did you create today? Share it in our Creative Community group.
Day Three—of 100 Days of Creativity, (my makes for #The100DayProject.) Today’s creativity was more stenciling, adding another layer to my background. This Flourish stenciled in white paint brightened up some areas. Just a few minutes a day makes a real difference—in your creativity and your life. What did you make today? Share it in our Creative Community group.
Day Two—of 100 Days of Creativity, (my makes for #The100DayProject.) Today’s creative work was a little more involved than just cutting a die cut. But it was still a simple layer that took just a few minutes. This colorful Distress Oxide Ink background was blended through a stencil. What did you make today? Share it in our Creative Community group.
Day One—of 100 Days of Creativity, (my makes for #The100DayProject.) Yes! It really can be this simple. Keep it simple. Just start. Make something. Anything. Doing something creative can be as simple as cutting out a focal image. This “Perspective” butterfly was die cut from black card stock. It will be the focal point on a faith art journal page that I’ll be making. What did you make today? Share it in our Creative Community group.
My 100 Day Journey of Creativity is my take on #the100dayproject (that starts today). No rules. Nothing to join. The only “requirement” (in my view) is that you want to use the gift of creativity that your Creator has placed in YOU— in whatever way you choose, for just a few minutes everyday. This is all about growing the creative seed placed in you when God created you. I fully believe, if you follow your journey of creating, for just a few minutes everyday, for 100 days, you will experience transforming growth in not just your creativity, but also in your soul and life! Because you were created to create! 💖 Continue reading
The ancient world, for the most part, had a low view of women. After sin entered this world, God said that sinful men would desire to rule over women, and it surely happened. Although Jesus came to “reverse the curse”, restore what had been lost through The Fall, sadly many, even those who proclaim Christianity, somehow think that those sinful desires should be perpetuated. Believing that women are less than, lower than men, and that men should rule over women. Even though that directly opposes what Jesus teaches about how His followers’ hearts and actions should be. Throughout the Gospels… Continue reading
I recently came across a reel with the words in this image. Strong truths about life. That brought strong pondering in my soul. In my education in trauma healing, I was often “surprised”/not surprised to learn how many of the healing/regulating “techniques” are things that are done naturally—and have been throughout time. Things we did automatically, even as children, to “self-soothe”. Things mom and grandma and loving, caring others did naturally—without any training or therapeutic language for it—to help those around them when in times of trouble, that are now seen as “co-regulation”. Calming, “nervous system regulating,” activities that kept… Continue reading
