Today's Lesson From The Craft Room: Say Thank You And Go In A Different Direction
I've had a few days off in a row and I find that when I start to slow down, my internal voice starts to speed up! I have to say that at times my internal voice really doesn't have anything nice to say - it's like I have my own little internal bully :( Good thing I also have an internal voice that also loves to nurture and that voice is teaching me to say "thank you" to the bully and then head in another direction - a place where I remind myself that I am a beautiful, creative being So if you find your internal critic is being a bully...say "thanks, but I'm not headed in your direction!"
It was fun to try the wax resist technique! It was like magic! I used a texturz plate and brayered with real red ink. The cupcake was made with a series of punches and a bunch of stickles Enjoy!
If you want to head away from your bully and toward a supportive, nurturing voice, take a trip to my blog at www.myfigments.blogspot.com.

Luckily, my bully slept late today, and I got my card made before she got up!! LOL!! I LOVE your cupcake made with the punches, and the RED bg is groovy!

I haven't been too inspired by this stamp set until now. I really like your card!! The background is terrific. Great job. (I think we all have internal bullies that have to be dealt with! Good job telling yours where to go!)
