Coming Back

Slowly, very slowly I feel my creativity returning. Back in August a friend suggested that three of us should put together a mini scrapbook of ideas and techniques for card making/scrap booking and other creative projects so that we could inspire each other.

I have had the book for over a month and just used to stare at my blank page with not a clue of what to put onto it. A couple of days ago I had a breakthrough and managed to get something down into the book. It is not perfect. In my eyes whatever I do will never be perfect - but it is a start. Now that I have got that out of the way I feel I can move on to other creative pursuits.

Just to mention the door. I deliberately left off the handle/doorknob. It is a doorway to the imagination and therefore a handle is not necessary!

    Each time I look at the lovely paper owls you gave me, they put a smile on my face

  2. That's great Simone, sometimes it's just making that first step. There will probably be no holding you back now!
    It's a lovely page, love the colours and the ivy is beautiful.
    Just keep pushing that door open!

  9. I hate the saying but 'baby steps' are sometimes needed. a little at a time and your creativity will come back. I just know one day you will do that childrens book!
    love

  10. How exciting... what you have pictured there looks amazing... you know Ivy is like a labyrinth, it can be confusing but it can also take you on a journey to find your centre... so a great choice for this project xx
