I am having some difficulty finding my creative mojo these days. I adore scrapbooking (digital of course because I am too lazy to clean up the mess I make when I try to do paper versions), but lately....I just can't seem to find the "zing" necessary for good art. I am all wishy-washy! "Mmmm...maybe that layout. Nah. Ohhh...there's a good one! Or maybe not." That is the little commentary that repeats itself endlessly when I try to scrap. So I have decided to embark on a journey of a little different scope. Still scrapbooking - and still digital. However, instead of making bland page after page of so-so layouts I have decided to concentrate on creating my very own kits.
Yep - I know there are lots, and lots, and LOTS of people out there doing the same darn thing. But this is about me - not about them, or about how many FANTASTIC products are already out there. This is simply my way of keeping those creative juices flowing and finding a way to get around my scrapper's block.
My first project is called Taste of The Orient. I've always been fascinated with dragons and the lore behind them. In fact, last year I had a tattoo done and the image is a dragon with Kanji that means "Survivor." I hit the 5 year remission mark and it seemed like an appropriate way to commemorate the occasion. So that is where the seed of inspiration began. I started this morning....and boy am I SLOW at this! I'm too picky and not very versed in this end of scrapbook design, so it is taking my awhile. I do have a preview for you though - at least of the first two papers (as they currently stand - who knows if I will change them or not. lol)
