Revisiting my Creative Bucket List

It's been awhile since I posted my creative bucket list. And since I have a fresh new space the creative jucies are flowing. Who knew a little breathing room was going to induce craftiness?

• Go hybrid - use brushes to spice up cardstock/photos or add text to photo


• Play with misting


• Do more 2 page layouts


• Layer more embellishments


• Make a bunch of pin cushions to fill a large hurricane vase I bought for my dining room table


• Play with text


• Incorporate more stamping on my layouts


• Alter something


• Take more photos (especially this time of year)


• Sew an Apron


• Emboss something


• Incorporate a mini album into a scrapbook page


• Do a a "now & then" layouts about each child


• Sew a table runner


• Work on my hall entry photo project and fabric covered mats (this project is partially completed)


• Use more a variety of photo sizes on my layouts (old habits die hard)


• Take some cool location photos of the kids


• make a mini album gift for a friend


• Use more fabric


• Make the workout/running inspired journal I mentioned here


• Sew one of these cute purses Kimber showed me from ithinksew


• take MORE photos

I use this list as a way to challenge myself creatively. Some of the items I like to keep around while other items get filtered off. Since my sewing supplies are newly organized I am hoping to be able to tackle some of my many sewing projects.

Here's a little something I did recently from my list ...

I really like to combine old & new this idea is why a "now & then" layout in on my creative bucket list. I recently took a stab at doing a "now & then" layout about my son. In a perfect world I would have used a baby photo on this layout. Unfortunately Grant's early years were BD (before digital) so I used a favorite photo from when he was 5 years old.The photos inspired me to take a not so literal approach to a "now & then" layout. 

Happy Crafting
