Chasing the clouds away
i think the ali push for a life-art-a-week may be a very good thing indeed. i just did some calendar layouts for an upcoming project…but this week’s push was to make something reviewing last month…using internal voice…yummy stuff like that.
september was all about creating which is my happiest place. teaching a daily course gets you making something every day so you can work along with your students. the getting messy approach is always the best. never trust an english teacher who doesn’t secretly want to be a full time writer and never trust an art teacher who doesn’t make stuff whenever she gets the chance.
supplies: bazzill cardstock (loving the mismatched background treatment right now. so much.), paper and epoxy bits from mod by autumn leaves (also some paper by all my memories), chipboard letters from heidi swapp and making memories, brads, flowers and the brain stamp i borrowed from cheryl. totally need to give that back!!
despite it being the month that school starts, the biggest thrills were times spent making stuff. cropping with janice and the girls in the woods, learning something new every day, scrap camp in bristol. so good to start and end the month on a creative high. so good to make something every single day.
and something else i love: symbolic stamping. i have had that brain stamp from cheryl for so long. but i love the symbolism of brain = learning every day. for every stamp in the stamp shop where you wonder who would buy that? i am thinking what can that mean? they are my absolute favourites every time.
