AEzine Challenge: Personal Creative Manifesto

I am so excited to see where you guys went with this one...


From last week's AEzine:


the challenge this week is to come up with you very own personal creative manifesto. Maybe it is one word. Maybe it will be paragraphs. Whatever it is or becomes, take some time this week to begin generating one for just for you. Create a layout, begin a minibook, or maybe just start writing out your thoughts...

Post your links or thoughts in the commments section below.

    Thanks Ali, this was so much fun and the manifesto I came up with is so me while I scrapbook. And so me when I'm not being creative. I had the most fun time.
    Here's MY CREATIVE MANIFESTO:

    This was so great...to be able to put all of the phrases I use everyday, every time I create something, into one catagory. To give it a name.
    My Creative Manifesto:
    *Express yourself
    *Feel the experience
    *Find the beauty
    *Delight in the little things
    *Don't over analyze it
    *Be spontaneous
    *Breathe & let it go
    *Explore & have fun
    *Always know it's okay to start creating even before you have brushed your hair
    Here's my creation:

    never posted with a link, so I hope this works. I was painting with my 4 year old, and stole some of her paints for my artjournal ... seemed the thing to do at the time :)
