A Creative Walk

This morning while I was on Twitter someone was asking how do you get the creative juices flowing? A great question. Most of us don't take the time to figure out how we do what we do, we just do it. The problem with that is we tend to get in a rut. (even if we don't know it) My suggestion was a simple one. Get out, take a walk and sketch (or take pics) of the color combinations that you see. What better way to get ready for the fall colors than to take your inspiration straight from nature!

I liked my idea so much that I took my own advice and set off with my 2 year old and we took pictures. But instead of taking pictures of what I found interesting I took pictures of things that drew his attention. He loved this, he figured out what I was doing right away and starting pointing out all kinds of things and helping take the pictures too!

I love when I am able to include my son in what I am doing, if you are a parent you totally understand what I mean. So below is a few of the things we stopped and took pictures of, I hope you find them as inspiring as we did.

I would love to know what you do to get your creative juices flowing too. Feel free to share what you do or what you do to get your kids involved in the creative process.

New Designs are here!

Hello to all...
I have started listing my new line of cards at my esty store. There are just a few of the new designs up right now but the rest should be up later tomorrow. I am really excited about these new designs. They are based on many of my different inspirations: graffiti, pop coulture, vintage, letterpress, and many others. Check them out, let me know what you think. If there is something there that you would like but in a different color, pattern whatever let me know I will work with you. Look forward to seeing you at my shop! Remember Christmas is almost here, time to start shopping!
