Creativeness IS in ALL of Us!

Welcome! I'm so glad you are here!

Look at all of the wonderful sayings compiled together here!

Life is like a scrapbook-creative and unique; creativity is a way of life; if you can dream it - you can create it; creativity takes courage; happiness; love; never stop creating; inspire, and more.

When I saw this stamp, I just had to get it. I knew I wanted to have it on display in my craft room not only to enjoy, but as inspiration as well. I am including it in a layout I am designing as well! I'll show you soon!

Each one of the little sayings on this stamp can apply to so many of life's occasions, journeys and paths.

Our creative capabilities are used daily -- no matter our position in life. What we wear, what we eat, what we do, how we think and comprehend varying situations, whether a numbers person or artsy crafty, a spark of creative thinking - genius (?!?) comes into play.

Even the statement I was created to create makes me smile, as I believe God gives us so many talents with the gift of life and our gift back to the Good Lord is using those talents to their fullest.

This is how you can make this. I stamped the image on White Daisy Cardstock with Black Archival Ink, then layered with the new Color of the Year, Bashful, Pewter, from the updated basic palette, and this gorgeous patterned paper from the Basic Fundamentals collection.

I finished it off with little gold chip board weight hearts from the Better Together Complements, and colored in the stamped hearts and stars with Colored Pencils. I used both foam tape for dimension and Tombow roll adhesive. Sweet!
