CREATE ~ Here We Go!

Hey Y’all!  I’m starting this New Year out with some creativity!!  I had today off ~ tomorrow is the big day back to BOTH jobs. I’m excited about going back to work…. it’s just been so long!! ha!  Back to the point!  Today I decided to see what I can do in the card making department. Here is what I came up with

A simple leaf card with a blank inside that I stamped myself. I even did the envelop too for a little coordination! ( I need to get a camera ~ my phone gets the job done but it doesn’t capture the color very well!)

 

My best friend saw that one and asked me to make one to accompany some baby gifts. A friend of ours had a little baby boy. Here’s what I came up with

I was excited about how it came out!

 

So I’m putting my creative juices to good this year. What about you?  What have you decided to CREATE?

CREATE ~ Christmas

 

Hey Y’all! I am spending the day recovering and relaxing and decided to do my Christmas wrapping. I was traversing through blogger world a while back and saw gifts wrapped in simple packages. I wanted to do that on my own so here goes. I bought a few rolls of Brown shipping paper from K-mart ($2.75 a roll)  then i got out a stamp that I bought recently.

I got some red ink and stamped it on the brown paper

I like the design!!  This is the one my Mom did

We ended up using raffia instead of ribbon

So we tied bows in the packages and I used those tags from my wish list… remember?  They came from my friend StampGirl

This is what the finished ones looked like!

 

It was a little more work than just wrapping presents… but not many people can say that they made their own wrapping paper!!  the options are limitless… but I was obviously a little confined today!

 

Everyday is an opportunity to get out creative juices flowing. We create our lives with each moment and we I think it’s important to fill our lives up with ourselves as well. This is my latest creation…what’s yours?

Tell Me What You See Challenge!!

I'm sure all of you know about people watching... right? You sit still and the world aorund you moves.. you listen to conversations, drink in body language, and come to your own conclusions about what could be going on. well i thought it would be fun to use the same concept with a picture. I have attached a picture on to here and I would love to see all of the different perspectives on it. Everyone tells their own story well in this case tell us this woman's story. It doesn't have to be long or anything, but i will give it a week and you can email your piece and i will put it in a new post next week!! It will be fun and think get all of us to stretch our creative muscles. One of the greatest things about the world is that we all see it differently- I'd love to see your view. This could be a weekly challenge for all of us and if you are into photogrpahy and think you have a good one then send it to me and we can use them througout the weeks.

The first picture is from a great street photographer in NYC. You can some of his other photos here Sion Fullana

So sit down and drink some coffee look at the wonderful picture and tell what you want about this woman!!
