Lets try this again

So it's been almost a year since I posted :p as you can see I am not so great with the upkeep on a blog. But through this past year I have been thinking about what direction I want my life to go in. I recently turned 21, and I also got to go to NYC which had been a dream of mine since I was 8. And let me tell you, NYC was very inspiring to me. I have long wanted to do something in the creative world, and am considering getting a degree in graphic design. But for now while I start my journey I hope to keep up with this blog a little better for my personal creative outlet.

Today I made an easel card for a coworker of mine. She seems like she needed a pick me up so I made this "just because" card using Graphic 45's Olde Curiosity shop. I layered the some of the paper onto the black cardstock base I made, and then fussy cute several images from the paper. For the "just because" I just stamped on a piece of cream cardstock using ranger inks walnut stain. I distressed the edges and attached it to the card using a Tim Holtz pin. Enjoy!

It came and I would stare at the colors, and I would watch these videos of people making beautiful works of art with them.  I poked around with them a bit, but eventually they wound up sitting in their pretty box on a shelf. And that is where they have been since I bought them. Sitting on my shelf, collecting dust. Why you ask? Fear. Fear that my art wouldn't hold up to what I had seen created with them, fear that I wouldn't be able to handle the learning curve of oil pastels, fear that I wasn't good enough. What it boils down to is fear of myself and fear of failure more so then the art supply itself. Basically what I’...
