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
🌷❄️ To everything there is a season.❄️🌷 I spent this weekend ignoring the subzero temps outside, with gratefulness that they will end. I stayed inside creating spring flowers, thinking about the ones that will soon come outside. 🌷🌸🌷 Just journaling. Making fun art, not fine art. 👩🏻🎨
❤️🩹Domestic Abuse Awareness Month❤️🩹 I’m resharing this journal for #DVAwarenessMonth 💜 Every once in a while I share art pages here that are noted as “created in my She Created a Life She Loves Journal.” I created this blank eclectic journal in 2022, (see how-to video) and have slowly been art journaling on its pages (videos and web articles linked below.) It is a slow, contemplative journal, filled as I determine how I want to artistically represent things that I love in my rebuilt life. Although my greatest “creations” are all my dearly loved children, this is not a photo… Continue reading
