Evolving as a Crafter

It takes time to evolve.
It also take time to figure out what you want to do and how you what to do it.

That's what I spent the last two weeks doing.

Before my vacation to California, I didn't think about crafting nor did I think about keeping up with my Project Life. I just thought about my vacation.

After my vacation was over, I sat at my desk and I thought ... "what inspires me?" "what makes me me?" "what do I want to do?"

And what was the first thing I did? ... I made a card.


The inspiration for this card came from the waters of California. I wanted to make my boyfriend a "Thank you for taking me on a wonderful vacation card." and thus, this beauty was born. 

I found what I was searching for in card-making. I made three beautiful cards in one sitting. 


I developed a new skill - lighting techniques. I even started taking a photography class to learn how to take better lighted photos. 

I found my creativity in one sitting, and I love it. I love what I can make with cards. I love the ambition and dedication I have to making at least one card a week to one card a day. 

I love challenges, so I'm participating in the Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge blog from now on. 

I am a goal to further my crafting career and abilities and I know I will accomplish it! This post is a post not only for me, but to others that feel they've lost their 'creativity spunk'. 

That spunk will come back and it will come back with a vengeance. That vengeance will spark and have you create 5-10 layouts a week or 5-10 cards a week. Enjoy that spunk - heck, I know I will. 

Angela.
