Halloween 2014 Artist Trading Card

I picked up a pack of blank artist trading cards on clearance quite a while back and during the great office/craft room purge I thought....hmmm....time to use or lose these.  Then since I have been having so much trouble finding any creative time I thought....well.....maybe I'll start small...I mean after all how long could it take to create a VERY small card. Plus I can sign and date them on the back and have a little running record of my mini creative adventures. Pictured above my Halloween card 2014.

Just to show you how truly tiny it is I placed a pen next to it! Artist trading cards can be a challenge being such a tiny palette but they are great for using up tiny scraps also! I like the fun and slightly "creepy" feel of this one.

Beautiful Colors

We are about to enter my favorite season... autumn. The beautiful browns, oranges, reds, and yellows of the season are so beautiful. I've created an Autumn notebook and included in it are colorful creative craft ideas. In addition, some are just crafts that may not be fall related but use the colors of fall. I'm interested in featuring readers' work so please do not hesitate to let me know if you have a craft or idea to share. For right now...autumn related or using the colors of autumn.

Creative Chaos

Here's a sample of what I'm going for with our Beautiful Colors autumn theme here at The Creative Spirit...this lovely display of color comes from the blog: Creative Chaos. Just looking at the materials without them being "made" into anything yet...captivates my imagination and makes me feel all tingly with the beauty of it.

I can't wait to see what else she creates with her wonderfully pumpkin orange materials...
