Keeping Things Simple -- Makin' it Work For You
What do your easy creative days look like?
Behind the Page
I’m finding that I’m needing more and more easy pages lately. Whether it’s just a day where my headaches are raging, or I’m feeling a little overwhelmed from the various life things here or there. Thankfully, I’ve made so many of these pages over the years, that I know what comes easy to me on a day where I need it.
For example — in today’s page, I just cut up some scraps of gel prints that I already made. It doesn’t take much mental energy to cut the strips up and stick them down on a bit of adhesive. It makes a delightful background, and just one more way to use up those scraps.
Technique of the Day
I used my right-now favorite adhesive, the scrapbook.com roll adhesive to stick down all the gel print strips. I cut the 4” roll to cover the height of my notebook (5.5”), then I started cutting up strips from gel prints that I had already cut into. In the video below, you can check out how I laid down the strips side by side to achieve this look.
Reflections & Insights
Lean into whatever creative energy you’re feeling. If you’re feeling like you want to do a lot with your hands, but not your brain — cutting strips of paper is awesome. If you’re feeling like you want to just play with color — pull out whatever your favorite medium is right now and create a rainbow. And if you’re still hurting for inspo — grab a prompt or challenge from over at theawesomeladiesproject.com and see where it leads you.
