Wednesday Stamper - Moo Card

Finally, I've gotten back to artsy-fartsy stuff! I had never heard of "Moo Cards," but aren't they fun?!? I'd love to know the origin of the name. And since I am a coffee addict (in a REALLY bad way - I'm afraid I'm going to end up on the tv show "Intervention" for my coffee habits) I felt this would feed my addictions....stamping AND coffee. A two-fer!

OK....so I am not posting nor creating

I seem to have stumbled into a creative slump. Some people seem to find stress and turmoil stimulating to their creative process. I, on the other hand, find it stifling. All I want to do is curl up in my cozy bed and nap. Not very conducive to creating art. I snipped a few items out of today's news paper...a "Thought for the Day" and a coupon to Hobby Lobby. Maybe if I glue a "thought" to several pages that might prompt me to jump in and create. And, of course, coupons make me happy! I am in need of a new set of watercolor pencils.....LOTS of lovely colors!

I am visiting lots of artful blogs..seeing lovely works of art...wishing I were creating. Thanks for the inspiration!!!!!!

Yes, I'm Creating....Just Not Blogging

It's been way too long since I've posted, but I have been creating art daily as I challenged myself to do this month. Last Sunday, I recovered this journal while at work. That's the nice part of my job...while awaiting calls (I work on an ambulance all night as an EMT) I can watch movies, read books, create art, etc. So I managed to get this recovered in some lovely Basic Grey papers. I am still unsure of what I want to do to complete the cover, but I am sure it will come to me. I have packed a tote bag with some crafty essentials to haul with me (colored pencils, adhesives, snippets of images and paper, etc.) so that way, if I have the time I can create!

Among my other creative endeavors of the past week, I have been making note cards for correspondence with the kids' teachers for this school year. I failed to do this last year and found myself grabbing blah-blank paper from the printer to scribble notes on. How uninspiring and boring! So I am making a little stash to have on hand.

So.....for this week, I am going to begin filling my newly-recovered journal. I'll keep ya posted!
