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?

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
Valentine’s Day seems to be not just a love holiday, but also one hated my many. For the haters it may be D(itch the) Day. Whether it’s because one doesn’t have a romantic loved one, or has been left and hurt by someone who was supposed to love them, or because they think it’s just commercialism, pushing for purchases of flowers, chocolate, jewelry and dinner out. It may be the disappointment in not receiving things like that, not feeling loved. It may be feeling pressured to give specific things on a specific day, and think everyday should be love day,… 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. 👩🏻🎨
Do you have a go-to card making style you use? Certain techniques and supplies that are almost always included? Do you make multiples of the cards you make? Or are they all unique? And your style more varied and eclectic? If you follow me, you know I’m very eclectic, and always unique; utilizing many different techniques, but having a couple primary supplies that show up most of the time. I’m registered for a Card Making Summit next week.* There are about 30 instructors, and probably more than that many styles will be demonstrated, and even more styles made by the… Continue reading
What does your creativity look like so far this month? Drop a pic in the Comments ⬇️ or over at our Freely Whole Creative Community. After posting my first art journal page of the year, I stepped into something that’s usually not my style, as a challenge. You know. Sometimes you just have to step out of your wheelhouse and do something different. This one was a several sessions Collage class, with Cat Rains. I didn’t have time to prepare my papers, to the extent suggested. That was supposed to happen in Dec, when I was up to my eyeballs… Continue reading
🥳 Happy New Year! 🥳 The last shall be first. Meaning, my last make of 2025 also became my first make of 2026. I had decided the theme for my NYE art project a week ago, choosing Comfort & Joy. I even designed a couple images for my focal point. But when I sat down last night to create, it just wasn’t coming. So I started with some neurographic drawing, which is always a good art (and brain) exercise when you’re not sure what direction you want to go. But it wasn’t what I had envisioned! After rounding and coloring,… Continue reading
Happy New Year’s Eve!What was your favorite thing you created in 2025? Here are 12 of my favorite mixed media Faith+Art makes of 2025.It was hard to narrow them down, they all brought me such Joy in the making. Although I repeat like a broken record, “transformational art making is more about the beauty created in you than on the canvas/page,” it’s still nice when we have finished art projects that we love. Up first is a journal page I’ve never shown here before. It’s from my course, He Restores My Soul—a transformative Faith+Art journey through Psalm 23. I love… Continue reading
If you’ve read my last 2 posts, you know that as I transition from the busy holidays into a New Year, I take a week for Reflection. Looking back and Looking forward. I know very little about what the New Year will throw my way, but I focus on what I desire to create more of in my life—as well as look at what I want less of, (and how much of it is in my ability to get rid of.) Life will throw us enough curve balls that there is nothing we can do about. But we can do… Continue reading
