Lego Art

I was bored babysitting the other day and I made the above art.  Artful Parent had a whole blog post on lego art so worth checking out. I also did a post about Lego Words. Not last but least Frugal Fun 4 Boys has Lego Stamping

Freshing up my Love Gallery Wall - Day of 100 day of creativity

I thought I would give you a glimpse at my "Love" gallery wall.  I decided this gallery wall needed something more. It is at the top of my stairs so it is a bit of a challenge to get a good photo of the wall. My hometown is Loveland, Colorado so I incorporated a lot of the Loveland Valentine Card Art. The scrabble piece is from my best friend Mrs Epi that incorporates all our names. I fell victim to the Hobby Lobby 75 percent off sale last week. and bought the love lives here and scroll metal heart. I thought a $8 refresh wasn't a bad deal.

Just a few close ups of some of the pieces on my wall.

Day 21 of 100 days of Creativity

I whipped up this little scrapbook page for my older son.  He got to go to a shellfish farm with a school group.  I made my page entirely using the Project Life App .  This literally took me 5 minutes.  I did change it around 3 times but even that was easy. I love love love the app.  It is a free app to boot but of course, if you want to add some flair you can do in app purchases of different scrapbook kits.

100 days of Creativity - Day 11

I have been working on a long term genealogy project.  I have been working on a way to creatively put all the info I have found together.  Sometimes Photoshop and I don't get along. This takes way longer than I anticipated as well. I decided to create a Photoshop/scrapbook  page for certain ancestors.  I hope to show the completed version soon. Picture is a sneak peek.

Creativity is Still Happening - 100 days of Creativity

Sometimes you just don't have a whole lot to show for it. There is definitely some stuff happening behind the scenes. But I did draw this bunny on my chalkboard. That should count right. The chalk board is just painted with chalkboard paint on a piece of scrap wood.

100 Days of Creativity - Day 5

Today I was messing around drawing with my Cricut Maker that we got for our business.  I was using the draw function. The squirrel above is a cut pattern for the maker that I turned it into a drawing. I then colored it.  I am trying to explore the maker functions so we can use it better in our business. We have lots of creative ideas just not sure how to execute all of them. Here is a good tutorial I found at See Lindsay

100 days of Creavity - Day 2

I did a directed drawing of  flowers by Kitchen Table Mom. She has a video which is very helpful. I enjoyed it. This was about a 25 minute project. I thought my effort was Meh.  However, it did feel good to stretch my creativity.  I feel rusty. Quite truthfully I might give this project a go at the end of the 100 days to see if I did really stretch my creativity.

100 days of creativity/projects

I have been hearing about this over on Instagram.  I am going to try to do something creative everyday and record it.  Some will be longer projects and some will be like the first day I did yesterday - April 1. I envision it covering letter boards, scrapbooking, interior projects, outdoor projects, and baking projects.

My letter board was from Walmart but my husband - C and C Custom Frames built a custom frame for it.  It hangs in my laundry room and you see it when you enter from garage. I am a big letter board fan and try to change my sign frequently. Below is example of some of my letter boards. I made the collage in Project Life App.
