exercise your creativity

Although most of you are rugging up and getting ready for sweater weather, in the south of the world where I’m from it’s time to dust off the gym clothes and try to tone up the winter body, ready for summer. Wherever you live, you can always exercise your creativity. Many of us think people are born with creativity, just like we think those with trim, toned bodies are born like that. True genetics have a bit to do with it, but we know that with the right frame of mind and lots of exercise, anyone can lose weight. We all have creativity, and to keep it running at its best it needs to be stretched and exercised.
So how can we do that? Let go of inhibitions and stretch the way you think about scrapbooking, and the way you approach it. Here are some ideas on ways to stay creative.

A lot of the time, if I feel in a bit of a rut I will use templates or scraplift. While that usually gets the page done satisfactorily, it does not exercise my creativity. I purchased Rhonna Farrer’s creativity exercises a while back, and I admit I don’t do them that often but when I have I have been surprised by the outcome. I would also like to encourage you to step out of your comfort zone once in a while. You could try hybrid if you have always done digi, or join in Michelle’s art journaling prompts if that is something you have never tried. Ready, set… GO!
