It Is A Learning Process

Creativity is a learning process all its own. You have to learn to let yourself venture and explore, and let the creative side take over from the analytical side. It's not always an easy process for a number driven, analytically minded person, but in little steps, it happens. The three items posted here tonight are all part of that learning process...I am slowly stretching and learning...and as I go I hope that there are improvements over each of the previous creations.

The first is a card for the mother in law of an ARTHaven friend, who at 84 faced cancer with a brave front, and continues to grow stronger, even with preventative treatments. That spirit is an incredibile testment to life.


Also created for an ARTHaven exchange, the fall tag was great fun to create. It started with a an image I printed out and distressed with Distress Ink from Tim Holtz. I added some beautiful fibers and a lovely copper flower. The Many Blessings ribbon tags added just the right touch.


Last but not least is the Harvest Blessings card that I created with an image I downloaded and stickled and placed on a solid background. The green damask is from a great book of wallpaper samples that I was lucky to be given.





Have a great evening everyone - thanks for looking!
