#6: cReativity exeRcises....


yes. you read it right...adventuRe #6 is Valentines. creating Valentines that is. Now, let me explain. I realize Valentine's day is a month away. But, it was part of my cReativity exeRcise today.


You see, every day I delve into some sort of creativity exercise. I learned this when I was getting my degree in college. In order to design/create anything, I find that I need
to go through these exercises. Everyday they are different prompts to get the cReative juices flowing. It may be a couple of minutes, or ~ like today~ a couple of hours. *ahem* I mean...many hours. It helps me enjoy my pRocess.

I had so much fun with my cReative pRompt that I just went with it....all. day. long. It was sheer bliss.
ch*ch*check it out:
Remember the frames I blogged about yesterday? Well, my prompt for today was: inspiRation. I was to look at something in my studio & create something (real quick: cuz i had TONS to do) and....I glanced over at my new RING! (thank, my lavaliere)

So, my goddess Ring was my inspiRation today. I printed out these silouhettes with
my patterned paper. (p.s. i LOVE my Epson R1800) & then....embellished. I love anything Heidi Swapp does...& her jeweled brads were perfect for my Valentine Goddesses. and...look at the little HS birdie mirror perched on Goddess #1's shoulder....not to mention her jeweled hat & dangling earring. Thanks, Heidi, for such fab products!

So, like I said...it ended up being an all day cReative pRompt. I filled my bell jars with Valentine delights that are all using hybrid techniques: my digital kits, printed out onto papers & stickers & then embellished...today, it was all about the *bling*.

*sigh* i love days like this.

  3. So glad that you started up a blog. Your creative genius is so inspiring. I must say that I am saddened to hear that you won't be designing for 2 peas anymore. You are my favorite designer. Excited to see where your creativity will take you.

    I also wanted to share my new blog created with your cute template.

    Love the template. Your tutorial was great-easy to follow. BTW--I have a 24 inch screen--I had to upload using 5MB and it fits perfectly. None of the other options worked for me. -- Of course, I am an extremely green novice. Thanks for the instruction and your generous freebies.
    I would love to be able to purchase the turquoise template that I missed. Is that a possibility?

  6. These are beautiful and so perfect for this time of year. I created some silhouettes of my family (drawing around profile photos with a sharpie to create a template) but never mounted them. My creativity exercise today will be to create something with the silhouettes. Thanks so much for the inspiration.
