Just like shopping or chatting online is a release for some women, art is a release for me. I love to block out some time and create. I love being amongst my artsy fartsy things and putter around. Whether it be to make a card for someone or to straighten my ribbon. It is so important to my mental health. I can't explain it. It makes me feel so lovely. Here are a few of my favorite sites. I encourage you to create something that makes you feel lovely. Don't give me that crap about not having a creative bone in your body. EVERYONE is creative in some way. Find it! Smooches, Amy.
I love Art Chix Studio for Vintage Art and German Foil (wings, crowns, borders, flowers, etc. in beautiful metallics) and lots of fun Altered Art Ideas. http://www.artchixstudio.com/ I'll be entering the 'twinchie' True Colours' art swap in March. I can't wait to see what I come up with. I've never made twinchie's before but, love the concept (2"x2" little pieces of artwork) I'll post what I make so you can see what I'm up to. Also, check out the owner of Artchix blog (Helga): www.myartisticlife.typepad.com
My newest find is http://www.mind-wideopen.blogspot.com/ They have a monthly art challenge. On the 1st of every month, they post an art pic to be used any way you like along with a word for inspiration and you have to complete and email a pic of what you created in by the 7th at midnight. Then, they're judged and if you win you get a gift certificate to their online store. Fun!
My favorite rubber stamp company is of course Stampin' Up! I have a fabulous demonstrator if you need one. Kathy Morgan in Abq. rocks! Check out their site: http://www.stampinup.com/
Have fun creating!
