it took me about 4 hours, but finally a place for everything and everything in its place!
now that it is clean i kinda lost the creative urge? apparently chaos is my muse.
gonna see where the day creatively takes me, might just take me out to lunch with my kiddos!

thought i would share a look into the mess i call my studio...this is what i created in today...i will spend the reat of the afternoon cleaning, purging and organizing!
6 months ago when i started making atc's i remember getting excited about how cool my spinner would look filled. well i am 6 months into it and i am already ecstatic!
i am teaching junes atc club class at the studio tonight and i thought i would share how my spinner is shaping up!
to celebrate the half way point of the ATC CLUB i am offering a discount on almost everything atc in the shop for today only!
there are limited quantities of everything so act fast for the best discounts!
one of the things i love about inspiration wednesday is that every week i make the time to create...sometimes i am not in the mood at all, but forcing myself to create through the "creative ick" has been really good for me. i learn so much through the process.
one of the things i have always loved is collage...the mixing, matching and blending of colors and patterns to create a larger, bigger image...and it is so easy to do, all you need is a journal, some paper bits and a gluestick!
so every monday i am going to post a new entry in my collage journal.
this is...
an experiment,
a learning tool,
a practice,
and a really fun way to see where just a few bits of paper and the passion to create can take me.
i am hoping to keep the design and supplies used in this journal basic and as hard as it may be i am going to try to keep the pages relatively flat.
my basic tool kit will include:
even though other things may work there way into the designs, like the grey watercolor crayon i used to create the shadow around the word art, my goal is to keep it simple!
i am also envisioning this becoming a really great way to create while traveling using all the bits of paper generated on a trip!
i would love to have you join in the fun on collage mondays!!!!
all you need to start is any notebook or journal you have lying around and just start to play and think creatively about the papers and found objects you might have all around you...
let the search for the perfect glue stick begin...
i actually love using glue sticks, especially for paper to paper gluing, but they can be really sticky? i want to know about your favorite glue stick and why you love it!
My friends at Red Lead Paperworks are at it again with a sale you don’t want to miss. The sale is this weekend-only and ends tonight!! Be sure to act quickly, I know I am!!
And be sure to follow them on Facebook and on their blog for the latest product information and deals!
sometimes i am distracted by shiny things...today it was a palette knife! i love the places my inspiration journal takes me!
