Fumbling and bumbling your way through creativity and a project you wouldn't normally do.

Hi, Loves.

How are you?  I'm doing well, thanks.  Today I want to discuss the fumbling and bumbling of creativity.  I find myself struggling with simple tasks like card making.

Cards are meant to be caring and sweet.  There's the problem.  I'm sassy, kind, loving and snarky.  I'll start off with high hopes and end up with a discard pile of pretty 'now what' papers.  

I have supplies like flowers, stickers, ribbons and blah blah blah.  I lack the focus of pretty pretty.  I really plan on expanding my knowledge in 2022 of cardmaking.  

GLOBELAND approached me and asked if I'd like to do a collaboration.  Of course I said yes.  So I snooped through their website and themed the items I chose.  

I chose lace stamps and corner stamps.  They arrived and I put off the video for a bit.  I needed to sit and study card making tutorials.  I learned they have skills that I don't.  I fear of wasting products as my family doesn't do cards.

I decided to approach it like I was building a scene on canvas.  I drew the layout on paper.  I planned and gathered supplies only to find myself saying "Nope."  *Sigh*

My Negative Nelly is telling me "You are the caretaker of your dad.  He's not into frilly things and since you've been alone with him close to 10 years, you've left your feminine side."  Well enough of that.

I took out pink and fumbled with it.  I took out white and fumbled with that.  I finally just said "To Hellfire, I'm just gonna throw it together."  The shocking aspect is they turned out pretty pretty or as close as I could get.

Its at that exact moment I have decided that 2022 is going to be a feminine year.  I started planning for this during a warehouse sale.  I bought a planner.  Pretty pretty and feminine.  I think we all could use a step forward after taking so many steps back.

I do plan on sharing that in my videos but we must see the eye opening reminder of femininity.  Its okay for us to wear black on the outside and pretty pretties on the inside.  

I hope you find inspiration from this video and post.  Be you always but try to expand on areas you feel need work.  Do NOT compare your work to others.  Stay true to you.
