How music changed the way I create

I am participating in my first MOC (Month of Challenges) and boy is it stretching me! I love it! One of the challenges really got my attention this month. It was the Art Doll challenge – see here in the forum: Art Doll Forum Post

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Now, it wasn’t the actual art doll itself that intrigued me, it was the use of music and how it rerouted my brain!

In this challenge, there were 4 choices that paired up with seasons and to my surprise, it really did steer the way I went with the challenge. I knew music relaxed me, however, I never gave it a great deal of thought on how it can impact my creative decisions. It was a big DUH for me!

If you want to see the music used in this particular challenge, check these out:

Give it a try! I would love to hear about your experience!

I’m a creative who pulls inspiration from all corners of life—both the joyful highs and the real-life moments that punch you in the gut. Honestly, I don’t think I can pin down a single scrapbooking style for myself, so let’s just go with eclectic. My layouts really depend on my mindset. If I’m in a deep, cerebral mood, you’ll likely see something chaotic and messy. If I’m more relaxed, it tends to come out clean, simple, and structured.

My brain is usually running on several channels at once, so it’s completely normal for me to be working on a digital layout, dabbling in a hybrid project, and getting messy with art journaling or mixed media—all at the same time.

Here are a few of my go-to tools: Digital: Adobe Photoshop CC + my MacBook; Photos: Canon Rebel or iPhone; Hybrid: Cricut Joy + sewing machine; Art Journaling: watercolors, stencils, and artsticks

And when it comes to embellishments—digital or physical—I’m always reaching for messy threads, ribbons, and Polaroids. Always the Polaroids.
