A Little Creative Momentum

For quite awhile I've been wanting to get back into artwork in some form or another. In hopeful anticipation, I've stocked up on various supplies, started watching craft shows on HGTV, and, well...thought a lot about it. What I hadn't done is actually start something. Maybe it was just the fear of getting started. Or perhaps I just didn't know where to begin.

Today I found a way to jumpstart that creative spark. I was given the chance to help out the local women's club in my mom's town by outlining graphics on some greeting cards they were making. Instead of just doing the outlines, I decided to add a touch of graphic embellishment to each card. With each card, I stretched my imagination to find a way to make it unique from the others.

Who knows if this will be the start of a long term artistic journey. But, it certainly has been a chance to finally gain some momentum...and sometimes that's all you need.
