“The desire to create is one of the deepest yearnings of the human soul. No matter our talents, education, backgrounds, or abilities, we each have an inherent wish to create something that did not exist before.” Dieter F Uchdorf

Hey there,
I'm certain many of you will enthusiastically agree with the notion that craftiness truly is happiness! We creative types are so blessed to have found a passion that makes us feel so joyful and fulfilled. Few things can compare with the exhilaration of creating something unique with our own two little ink stained hands and then displaying it or, better still, gifting it to someone wrapped in love. It is often said that home is where your heart is. I'll extend that to say your crafting space is where your creative soul is.
THIS little paper crafting cutie from The Paper Shelter looks blissful surrounded by her tools of the trade. It was so tempting to use a rainbow of Copics when coloring this, with all the art paraphernalia surrounding her. With super human restraint, I managed to keep my main palette to purple, green and blue, reserving the rainbow for her pencils markers and paper. I created the shaped card base in Cricut Design Space, as well as the sentiment tag. The focal panel is raised a bit with mounting tape and all the panels are lined with a gold leafing pen.
Several of my crafty friends would be perfect recipients of this card, but I might just keep it displayed in my craft room to remind me how blessed I am to enjoy the raptures of being an ardent craftophile. Oh, wait...I made it myself...I could make more. The perks of handmade!
Thanks for visiting.
Go forth and fill your soul with crafty happiness.
