Crafting Frenzy

One fateful *click* and mine eyes behold a most beautiful thing. 


After seeing this picture:


{via} {found from carlotta's pininterest}


My eyes widened; my creativeness starting to run wild, my mind swirling with ideas...


I am happy to announce that my new summer project will be
an art journal


I am so excited right now! I can't draw or paint, but the one area where I can dabble with my creativity, is...


CRAFTING


Crafting is down flat out amazing! *smile* 


Here are some more amazing photographs as inspiration:


It's not really going to be a daily journal, but one filled with scraps and quotes...

Ribbon and lace...

Lots of vintage and anthropologie...

{visit above link}


Lots of Frenchy, Italian, vintage-postage stuff!:) 


Lots of old-fashion brown...
Lots of pop outs...

{More inspiration here}


And so I must go, release my creativeness!:) 



How do you express your creativeness? 

Love,
Grace
