Love Letter 2.0

Sometimes in life, you just need a do-over. Through no fault of your own, things just didn’t turn out “right”. Sometimes we just have to move on from there. Other times we can take a second chance, and when we know better we do better. Sometimes those things have no or low importance in the grand scheme of things. Other times they are of great importance. And that second chance, to make things better, can make a big difference in our lives and the lives of others. This do-over is very low in significance. But it still was a learning… Continue reading

Layer a Day — Dream

Up today, Layer a Day Dex Card #4. I have really enjoyed taking extra time to create this past month. Even though it’s meant I’m having to play catch up with posts. These Layer a Day Faith Dex Cards have been nice quick fill-ins, to balance having to make more than half-a-dozen, time consuming birthday cards. I shared one of the latest yesterday, and will share a few more soon. I attended an online Craft Your Stash Card Making Summit this past week. That came in perfect timing for utilizing some different techniques than my usuals, to get those cards… Continue reading

Layer a Day — Heart & Soul

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

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
