I believe everyone needs to make time for a creative outlet. It doesn't have to be a lot of time, either. Just 15 minutes can be refreshing. You can try writing, art, sewing, calligraphy, wood burning, cooking, building a model, scrapbooking, embroidery, playing an instrument, ect.......
I rotate through several creative endeavors. Recently I spent some time with my watercolors. I made several pieces of art for birthday cards and the like.
I also have been doing a little paper crafting with stamps.
A few months ago Mr. In The Mid-west called me on the phone. He was at a thrift store and found some Stamp'n Up stamps. He wanted to know if I used stamps.
"Yes, I have a handful of stamps and I use them. If there are some nice stamps for a good price I would be happy to have them!" I replied.
He bought them all! Now I have 8 gallon size ziplock bags full of Stamp'n Up stamp collections. Yay!
I have used a few to make some birthday cards.
Is having a creative outlet important to you? What do you do with your creative energy?
That is so nice you have so many stamps to use now! My favorite is the one you made with the hydrangea. Blue hydrangeas are one of my favorite flowers. Lately I've had very little free time to spend on any artwork...but have spent it instead getting seeds started. I'm excited to be planting things and looking forward to spring, Lord willing!
ReplyDeleteThank you for the comment, Sunshine Country!
DeleteYou're right: it is going to be nice having so many stamps.
Starting seeds is so exciting! I hope that they germinate and grow well for you. :)
