Fickle Creativity! (and something shiny)

I am like a mad scientist.

I love coming up with a hundred-million-kagillion ideas. Most of those ideas never get past my notepad…and the ones that do don’t always last long.

I am so grateful that I have my stamp design that I do…I LOVE it and it brings a lot of joy to me and our little family. I have definitely caught a very itchy craft bug, however. I will never let it replace my love for artwork, but I have been collecting paper and rhinestones and glue to make paper flowers and butterflies.

…here’s an example:

I hand-punch these, which is ridiculously fun. Maybe I like destroying paper. Who knew? *wink* …but then I add a rhinestone, and hand-drawn stitches and whatnot on the top petals. It’s sorta my style. I love stitches.

…not the hospital kind. The craft kind. :-)

(This one is a bit bright – lighting is tricky!)

I have always loved the idea of making ‘supplies’ to help others with their creativity. It’s a huge part of why I love making digital stamps. I am just not sure if this paper embellishment venture is going to get far with me…I suppose I should take a step and see what happens!

Enough ranting about paper. Oh, no wait, one more thing. If you love patterned paper, check out Paper Peddler’s shop at Etsy. She is amazing. I get almost all of my paper there.

Here’s some awesomeness from her shop:

Okay. NOW, enough about paper. :-)

This is random. But look at this shiny-ness:

 
Mmmmm. Yummy light cycle.

Yep. I have two very distinct sides. I love cuteness and fluffy, sparkly things…and then computers and ‘cool’ stuff. Like Tron. I was hesitant to see the new one, as most movies nowadays are all CGI backwash from one to another, but this movie was spectacular. We saw it this morning as a family, and the kids are just as hooked as mommy and daddy. I’ve said it elsewhere, but this film was a delightful mix of the original Tron and something as innovative and futuristic as Bladerunner.

Not to mention the music was hypnotic.

Alright, now that the tomboy side has been let out, I wish you all a lovely weekend and I will write again soon!
