Creativity...

For all of us that love to create; did you learn that at school? I don’t think so!

Creativity is YOUR way to connect to the great Universe. In any way it gives you a pleasure, a well being.


Everything that you create, you feel something about it; it’s because it’s related to a specific energy that you received when you created your art.


The more we create, the more we need to! ‘Cause it create this energetic connection.


Everybody is creative; we are creative being; didn’t you remember when you were young drawing or building just because? By the time we started school, creativity is put at the last thing that you can do; just only few minutes a week! And if we want to plan a career in the Art all the answers are you cannot live as an artist! Why? Because the society is build like that! Unfortunately!


I dream that Creativity would be included in the everyday living like any task you do as a routine! Creativity is like a meditation for some of us and it’s also a great way to progress in our spiritual life.


Let your kids be creative; let yourself be in your creative Vortex…

CREAT - I - VITY = I am a creator!

Marketing!

Last Sunday I did a craft fair and wanted to get those little matchbook notepads for my customers for a free little gift!...(They loved it!).

I found this great shop on Etsy with lots of handmade goodies : Annie42 ARCreations ;
Paper crafts and more; I could have done some myself but it saved me some time and I loved how the staple doesn't show on the one she made.
I just added a little sticker with my banner and etsy shop address and voila some pretty eye candy!:



Don't throw away your stamp cut-out sheet!

I was mounting some stamps and I was having a hard time putting that cut-out sheet in the garbage;

I knew I could do something with it!

They will make great stencils!

Now grab your tools!:

- pencil

- scrap paper

- inks with little dauber or sponge

- floral stencil

- scissors

- glue



Put the cut-out rubber sheet on the paper and trace all around:

Cut your shape:

Then decorate it with your inks and florish stencil:

Continue to ink and distress it:

Cut a little wing, ink it, distress it and glue it on your birdie!

and Voila!

 

You can add your embellishment on your project:

Here is a pretty corner bookmark with my birdie!
