You Can "Take It Easy"- with Art from Veer!

It's funny that the illustrations I used for my new header, twitter badge and for my shops on Etsy and Artfire, came from an artist on Veer called "TAKEITEASY ART"! I had decided to do just that- make it easier to design my new look by purchasing what I wanted. I love a challenge but I also fell in love with this artists' work! Since I believe in 'paying it forward', I thought I'd share my not-so-secret secret. And I know you'll love me for letting you know you can get 10 free credits when you open your new account. I had already spent mine on my other shop banner but I loved the service and went back for more.

So, anyway, for a just a few dollars, I got instant gratification! Well, maybe not so instant... I still had to fight the urge to throw my computer against a wall when I did the layout work! I'm so NOT a web designer. But I love the result and it turned out to be just what I wanted: Colorful, chic, lovely, and~ totally ME!

(Well, me and TAKEITEASY ART!)

Inspiration Sensations!

Happy New Year to All! I couldn't wait for a fresh start and new opportunities to create more crafts that say, "ME"! So I've been jumping on articles that offer inspiration...




Two favorites that came across my path were from two of my favorite blogs I follow:

Scoutie Girl and Blacksburg Belle...

Welcome to the Machine by lovercraft
Each had a different tack on Creativity- from SG, ways to battle the demons of creative suppression and from BB some inspiration boosts. I loved them both and have in particular taken one suggestion immediately and I started an 'Inspiration File' for all these wonderful words of wisdom to be gathered for days when I can't get my spark to ignite!

Check out these articles for a kick start to an Inspiring New Year!
