Layer a Day — Heart & Soul

By | |
Leave a comment

I’m continuing to work on Faith Dex Cards, for my Layer A Day, when I don’t have time to work on a larger project. Just 1-5 minutes a day. Just one layer. No concern as to whether there is a direction it’s heading or not. Up today is my third Faith Dex card for this year. I love the depth and texture on this card! And just enough of a rustic, primitive feel to satisfy my soul. Layer 1: This creation started with collaging pieces of a hymn, that had been edged with Ground Espresso Distress Watercolor Pencil, onto the… Continue reading →

Layer a Day – Unique

I’m continuing my Layer a Day creating, even amidst the other creating I’ve been doing. I’m so behind on posts. But I wanted to get as much creative time in as I could during my after-Christmas “break” (from just about everything except work.) I know that extra time to create will have plenty of dry spells soon enough, especially now that my classes have all resumed and I have more other things on my plate again. Christmas break is over. We got a little snow after Christmas, and it’s all pretty much gone now (but the super cold is back)…. Continue reading →

Layer a Day – Joy

Leave a comment

I sometimes lose track of time when creating. I love when I have time to create and just leave everything else behind, out of mind. But those times are fewer and further between than I’d like. I also sometimes have a hard time creating if I can’t really spend some time on it, coming up with ideas, executing them, having a finished product in mind. In my last post, I shared well over 150 prompts with you, to help you get started—whether you’ve lost your mojo or are just looking for some inspiration. Whether you want to complete a “Full… Continue reading →

Winter Birthday Wishes {tutorial}

Leave a comment

I had no chance to make any Christmas themed projects this year, but an almost New Year’s birthday gave me a chance to use one of my new Tim Holtz winter themed dies. Yippee! Although it’s been decades since I’ve ice skated, I fell in love with this die when it came out. I patiently waited for it to go on a good sale, and Black Friday didn’t disappoint. But then I needed an occasion to use it—for more than just in my inventory catalog. Card making time! All those Distress Spray Ink backgrounds I did for my Pray &… Continue reading →

A Joyful Heart

Leave a comment

I found this post lurking in my Drafts—from this past August (8/31). My spicy brain is conflicted over whether to back date this to then, or just post it now. So it’s now for now, but I may need to put it back in proper order later. 😊 But either way, my brain says these past posts need to be caught up before the New Year bells chime. Sometimes a Joyful Heart is the furthest thing from our reality. We are living with a broken spirit, that “dries up the bones”. Soul crushing harm and trauma does literally cause health… Continue reading →

‘Tis the season—for Organizing

Leave a comment

‘Tis the season—the week between Christmas and New Year’s—when I mainly work on organizational projects and putting things away, decluttering etc.—after the explosion all the holidays bring. One of my primary goals is usually to find my creative studio again. Many Christmas projects are usually done, with a time crunch, and yes, it looks like paper exploded in there. So it’s now time for everything to find its home again. I also usually pack away the specifically Christmas products and supplies. This year they weren’t even touched. 😢 But that doesn’t mean I didn’t make a whole lot of Christmas… Continue reading →

Comfort & Joy?

Leave a comment

We’re in a season now that can be super busy. We can find ourselves lacking in the peace, comfort and joy that this season is supposed to be about. I’ve been enjoying all my music concerts and performances (4 just this past week, plus attending another of a friend’s), loved hosting Thanksgiving, was so excited to attend my coaches retreat—even though it resulted in an injury that laid me up for a while. I greatly look forward to celebrating Christmas with much of my family. And of course, there’s always work to pay the bills, classes to attend and to… Continue reading →

Thankful—Birthday Cards

Leave a comment

Creating took a hiatus for the majority of this month when first I was gone for a week for a Retreat (where I only took yarn and needles with me, for super portable creativity,) and then I fell on ice in the mountains, thankfully just before I came home. Bilateral injuries to my wrists, hands, and arms prevented doing much of anything, let alone crafting. Thankfully, I finger pecked to get my ThanksGiving daily posts done, on Facebook. Check those out! And Thankfully, again so much to be Thankful for!, now 2 weeks more past, I was able to catch… Continue reading →
