Good evening my crafty friends & those that don't "think" (you know who you are) they're crafty!
Let's talk about inspiration this evening. Where does it come from? Where can you find some? Are we born with it? Can it be taught? Are you lacking in it? Why does it seem to come so easy for some and not others? Why are they "crafty" and we are "not crafty"?
Shhhh...I'm going to tell you a secret! We are all crafty, yes, that's right! All of us!
In the beginning it could be from a kit with clear instructions. Like Stampin' Up's! Paper Pumpkin! This little box can be delivered to your home each month with new crafty goodness and you can follow the directions as stated or choose your own adventure!
This monthly subcription kit comes with everything you need to make up to 3 projects, either cards (9), gift boxes or paper artwork. I love them for those days where I am feeling like I am lacking in the inspiration department, you know those days right!
I also find inspiration all around me! Colors I see, websites I frequent, my family, friends and coworkers. I may see a color combonation I like that will have me making a card later that day. I use many, many books and magazines. A great resource for me is my Stampin' Up! Annual Catalog and the Mini Catalog. These 2 books are FULL of inspiration from many talented artists.
Crafting is whatever you want it to be! I like to make anything and everything. Glitter is MY very best friend, but it may be your arch enemy! I like paper and glue, you may like paint and canvas. No one craft it the "best". Some of us may like quick crafts (me, me, me) and others may like to do crafts that take time, are intricate and involved. The key is, you won't know it until you've tried it!
Let's get inspired together! Share what inspires you in the comments below. Remember, like and share so that we can keep growing our little crafting community!
Till next time, find some time to craft this weekend!
