I am not motivated to enter any challenges these last months - I just create spontaneously as the mood is and the time allows. Going with the flow I suppose.
Like yesterday I just pulled out four pieces from my scrapbasket (see card above), juggled and glued and had myself a little card within twenty minutes. Thats how I love creating - picking up papers lying in a pile and turning them into a useful object that I can bless somebody with. When I pray I ask the Lord to show me who I can send a card too and bless them - usually, with a Bible verse or just a word of encouragement.
At work I have many opportunities to include a little creation in the mail I send. So I am happy that being creative is a tool I can use to bless others. I know how it blesses me ridiculously when I receive something from somebody in the mail, so thats what motivates me to create too!
Having made one collage card, never satisfies me, so here is the second one that followed.
Two beautiful pieces, love the soft colours.
ReplyDeleteThis is how I think of you - soft and dreamy cards. Love them both!
ReplyDeleteheel mooi!
ReplyDeleteEn wat fijn dat je anderen blij kunt maken met jouw mooie kaarten!
Hello Jaqueline,
ReplyDeleteSometimes it's good to play around. You have made two beautiful pieces 'going with the flow'!
I like both. Have a happy sunday,
greetings Judith
another two beautiful collages Jacqueline, lovely soft colours in your signature style,love them both
ReplyDeleteWOW.. What beautiful collages you have here.. I just love your soft style.. So sorry I havn't been by in awhile... Hugs, Linda
ReplyDeleteThese are both so very beautiful. I love how you've angled the panels in the second card and added the buttons - gives it a feeling of movement and life, I think. :)
ReplyDeleteBoth cards are so pretty! Love your explanation of what motivates you! I can always tell by your work that much love goes into the process of making each card! Hugs to you, Jacqueline!
ReplyDeleteYou made two beautiful collagecards, Jacqueline! You give me so much inspiration with your cards!
ReplyDeleteWhat fabulous cards! If I absolutely needed to choose, it would be the second card, perhaps because of the blue and also the added dimension! But both are so stunning, both are absolutely YOU, the crafter of beauty!
ReplyDeleteJust loving your collages too!
ReplyDeleteWonderful colours!
I should try that...but my crafting space is such a mess! of course, I know that cleaning it up might help my attitude toward crafting, too. Beautiful creations from scraps, Jacqueline!
ReplyDeleteOh my - both of these are just gorgeous Jacqueline. I find that I get most enjoyment when I am creating for fun, not particularly for any challenge. I love your collage cards. Just so pretty
ReplyDeleteSo beautiful Jacqueline! I can see that your work is truly expressions of your heart. :) lavender & roses - Susanne
ReplyDeleteOh, Jacqueline your take my breath away. Love the to collage card. I have never make a card in twenty minutes. I am SO slow.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous Jacqueline! I am the same, sometimes I just want to do my own thing and see what comes out of it, I've been trickling down on the challenges as of late.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful collages Jacqueline....always a joy...
ReplyDeleteYou are so inspiring...your cards, your stories and I'm so thankful I found your blog. I can always find a word of wisdom. This blog is beautiful, and so is your work. And last but not least; so are you.
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing; visiting your blog and looking at a new creation is like receiving a gift!
And these two cards are stunning!
Wonderful cards they are beautiful. your collage cards are always so inspired with the layers of pretty paper and images.
ReplyDeleteJust popped over from The Graphics Fairy to get a closer look at your work. They are really beautiful and inspiring, and I know they must bring such a lift to whoever is lucky enough to receive one. You have amazing talent! Bless you.
