Great topic, Ali. I've struggled with my creative confidence for...well, since I started doing anything creative! I recently started my own blog as a way to share my layouts and connect with other people. And, funny enough, I made my blog title "I am a creative girl". That was a little over a week ago - and then your challenge came up with the same theme. I wasn't able to create a layout this week for it, but I just wanted to say "thanks". We all need a little reminding once in a while. Looking forward to seeing everyone's posts. Have a safe trip home.

Thanks so much for such great newsletter. So many things hit the mark with me. I am building up my Creative Confidence!

Ali, I posted a little blurb on my podcast-blog about letting my creative inspiration take the lead Wednesday morning. The following paragraph is in the AE tradition of things being OKAY!
I know my creative juices are flowing because the ideas are streaming through my head so fast that I missed two different turns while taking kids to school today. I am calling that creative distraction and am embracing it as a good thing!
I hope to finish up my layout for this challenge over the weekend. Still need to get the photo from Costco and see if I can figure out how to display a layout online!

Ok, it's not a layout, but it's a true celebration of my creativity, and the direction I've been going lately! Thanks for looking :)

Happy Creating,

Couldn't get my layout to send but this is WHY I CREATE.
I CREATE because of you. I CREATE because one day I want you to relive the life that has taken you to where you are now. I helped CREATE you and because of that...
I will continue to CREATE on each canvas a story that will help you relive a time, a place where you loved, laughed, cried and CREATED you own story to share.

This was just what I needed! Thanks

I create, great topic, I create for me, and if people dont like it that's okay to. It took along time for me to get there.

I did another digital layout. I journalled about how everyone in my family was creative except me. That was until I found scrapbooking.
