The title of this post is part of my mission statement.
It is what I do. Create, Dream, Live (well, and laundry..) and is based around my purpose. Part of that purpose is that I share my creative passion and vision with others and in the process, I may be able to inspire others.
Today, I hope to inspire you to use what you have to create something else.
Yesterday as I was cleaning up the flag block project, I lost focus (whoops) and happened to come across a project I had started creating a year ago (not kidding) and never finished (trying to work on that)
This is a small file folder journal that was going to be a class once upon a time. The background of the file folders were painted using a baby wipe and paint and then a little neighborhood was created using many different patterned papers and Mod Podged on. Poor little page sat like that for a whole year and never complained.
Yesterday, I grabbed my black Distress pen (that is really in distress because I have used it so much) and a blue Faber Castell chapstick looking paint thing (geez, I bet they would LOVE me for that amazing promo) and with in 10 minutes, my little neighborhood looked like it had been hit by Ty Pennington and the Extreme Home Make Over crew...
I am going to finish up this piece by adding these words:
24 And let us consider how we may spur one another on toward love and good deeds. 25 Let us not give up meeting together, as some are in the habit of doing, but let us encourage one another —and all the more as you see the Day approaching. Hebrews 10:24-25 NIV
So now, go create something from things you already have and enjoy the process!
I have a piece very much like that, It has been sitting, waiting, waiting, and me not quite knowing what it needed, but you may have inspired me to give it the finishing touch! Thanks! What EXACTLY didyou use :D ??

You are right it does look like it was hit by Ty. I have a project in my craft room from http://roomstogrowusa.web12.hubspot.com/hobbyrooom/ that I haven't worked on in a long long time. I need to go out there and see if Ty can hit mine like yours. Your project is just fantastic btw!
