I love to create - from paper crafts, to digital scrapbooks, to graphic art - I love to create! What I hate, is not having enough time in the day TO create...my time management skills S.U.C.K......with absolute capital letters!!! So how do you change it so you get out of that creative rut and get more done?
- Check out your favorite manufacturer's blogs and websites for new products, projects and inspiration! Make sure to keep good notes for each idea you find, including the exact website!
- Look back at previous projects you have done for inspiration to complete something new! I looked back at some of the mini albums I have done, and have a whole other set of projects based on past ones!
- Buy something new - it doesn't have to be huge, just find new papers, stamps, ink pads, embellishments to work with - and have fun!
- Check out pictures from CHA for products that are on your must have list!
- Keep a notebook handy - inspiration doesn't always happen when you are sitting there wanting to create (trust me on that one), so by keeping some sort of a notebook - sketch pad - design sheets...you can jot down information at random times, creating the piece when you are done with the details!
- Make a list - as dumb as it sounds, it really does help when you make a list of things you need to get done!
- Do something different - if you always do the same thing, you will never get out of your comfort zone to be able to create something "different".
- Check out older magazines, books, and things you have for creating...
- Learn a new technique!
