A grateful he(art) ♥

 Hi friends!

I pray you are doing well in your little corner of the world ♥

It hasn't been easy for many of us to practice 'social distancing'

especially when we are social creatures by nature ~

heading out to grocery stores, book clubs, choir practices, schools and church,

just to name a few.

But we really should 

and I know ~ it's quite an adjustment!

In our house, it's FULL.

My usual quiet time to craft is now filled with the sound 

of chattiness and everyone doing what they would normally do in a day

and it makes for a very cramped, somewhat chaotic, way to craft!

Are you missing your mojo?

Do you have a houseful of family members?

Or are you missing the area you used to go?

It is too quiet perhaps?

Here's an idea:

Create your own Creativity Box!

It's mojo-vating, it's creative and it's FREE!

Take a box.

Any box!

And fill it with a few things that you need to stay in the game.

 If you don't have the actual items to add into the box,

you can always print out some ideas to motivate you.

The idea is to see your 'crafty task' and be creative,

distractions or maybe no distractions,

be it loud or too quiet or even just right :)

 From the Creativity Box, I created a card using scraps of material.
Earlier this year, in my Word of the Year post,
I mentioned I was going to do a series called A Grateful He(art) ~
art with love inspired by Alice ♥
 

And not just any material - it's a leftover from my daughter.

She fell madly in love with a dress for her daughter (Alice)

but it was from last season.

She's only been able to find it in a size 12

and she needs a 2T.

Being the creative soul she is, she bought the secondhand size 12

and tore it apart to recreate it in a smaller size.

 Which meant a lot of scrap material!

(sorry the photos are dark and grainy!)

She's still completing it but with the leftover material, 
I scooped up a little piece to complete this card.

And - yay - the challenge at Splitcoaststampers this week
 is all about material so the timing was perfect!

I've used one of my favorite Stamp Anniething stamps 

and colored it in coordinating colors of the material.

The sentiment is from a stamp set from My Favorite Things,

as are the stitched dies and banner die. 
The material is a thin summer cotton so it actually cut
with the die as easy as paper!

                    And this is one more card done with a recycled theme: ✔

 Thanks for stopping by!

Big hugs, bigger blessings ♥
