Paper and Textiles : Be Inspired

As part of my daily routine I am trying to include time to be creative. God made me with the desire to create and it nurtures me. That alone makes it important!  I don't have loads of time and I probably won't ever make my living from it but it helps me to be a happy girl!

I am pretty OCD about most things and I tend to procrastinate as a result but my new mantra is, "if anything is worth doing, it is worth doing. period!" (to steal a phrase) Thank you Barry Banther, one of my beloved  professors. 

So, I will try to at least give it ten minutes a day and maybe more.

This is my latest creation. I have fallen in love with a channel on YouTube called Amity Bloom.

She has this love of paper and textiles that is really inspiring. After watching SIMPLE & EASY/ways to use fabric I was inspired to whip out some cute remnants and make this journal cover. I had a leather travelers notebook that I was not too fond of so this cover was perfect. I can change it out whenever I want to as it is simply wrapped around like a sleeve. If you have a love of paper and textiles go be inspired!
