My 30 Days of Inspiration

I came across this challenge, 30 days of creativity quite by chance by following various links of people I like in Facebook, and thought: yes, I could do that. I’m up for the challenge. But because life is pretty full at the moment I set myself the additional challenge of a half hour time limit.

30 days to make a habit; "Your brain is like a muscle. When you exercise it, it gets stronger."

Well, much to my amazement I got to the end of the 30 days with something sketched or created every day - they're all now on my Pinterest board here

I really enjoyed doing this, and as a result I have a new range of little collages ready to take to my next show; I've found some inspiration from some of the days; I have some new card designs, including some sheep, some plants and flowers and the much requested greyhounds

The challenge has been incredibly worthwhile - I've done some stuff I wouldn't have thought of doing before, and all just because I made an effort for 30 minutes each day!

Summer time with new designs and the joys of Norfolk

With summer now officially underway, there are lots of things to look forward to, including playing a bit of tennis if you were inspired by Wimbledon. Are you a Rodger or Rafa fan? What about Novak? Or did you think Andy could do it?! For any tennis fans this new greeting card design is perfect

or if you prefer to enjoy the summer with a glass of pimms and a slice of strawberry cake, this may be more appropriate

Living in Norfolk has its benefits, one of them being the Norfolk broads! 

Each summer we hire a little day boat for a few hours - it's so peaceful and so full of inspiration. The two dogs seem to enjoy a little boat trip, although they can disturb the peace when they get a little over excited and end up in the water!

There’s always lots to see on the broads, with ducks, swans, and my favourite, the cute coots! Here's a new design, of a dragonfly which is already very popular.
