Starting | #The100DayProject

7 April 2015

So earlier this week, on a whim and at the very last minute, I signed up for #The100DayProject.

I stumbled across this as I was scrolling through my Instagram feed and thought that 100 days was the perfect length of time to do a project.

Although I can’t commit to #365craftingtime, I can at least intentionally strive for 100 days of making something, anything. Whether I make memories, cards, art journal pages, or Project Life spreads, I want to just show up and make something for the next hundred days.

Life has been so busy, and I realize that unless I choose to, I hardly have time to make things anymore. Now, I’m working on getting my act together so I still get to be creative and breathe amidst all the busyness.

I’m excited and nervous about this all at the same time.

The first few days have come and gone, and I’m loving the push and motivation of just making something, no matter how small, at least once a day.

I’m sharing my process and journey on Instagram (#100daysofmakingbyAmelia) so follow me there for regular updates. It will be fun to see how things go from now until July 14th – I can’t wait!

What about you? Are you doing any new projects this month?

Christmas packaging | 3 ways to wrap festive Christmas gifts

22 December 2014

I finally finished my Christmas wrapping this weekend. Which is quite a record for me, since I’m not finishing it on Christmas Eve instead, ha.

I didn’t have many gifts to wrap this year, and I didn’t have any Christmas paper on hand. But I didn’t want to specially purchase Christmas wrapping paper just for a handful of presents.

So I came up with three quick and easy ways to get those presents looking festive without actually using Christmas paper.

Here’s how I did it:

1. Add a Christmas element.

For this gift, I added a kraft snowflake from Maya Road. But you can also add a Christmas ornament, like Christmas bells, reindeer or snowman, whatever takes your fancy.

2. Add some Christmas bling + shine.

I love the sparkle that Christmas brings, so go happy with the tinsel and gold on your packages! Whether it’s sequins, tinsel, gold stars, or gold ribbon, all these add a fun Christmas dimension.

3. Add Christmas colors using embellishments.

This may be the most “traditional” idea of the three. But since using a combination of red and green is sure to give a Christmas vibe, I used red patterned paper with green string to make a Christmas bunting.

There are plenty of options with these. If you like, you can even add your own twist to the traditional Christmas combination and use fuschia and teal instead. Whatever floats your boat, ya know.

As Christmas Day draws nearer and you hurry to get those presents done before December 25th, try these three wrapping tricks with supplies you already have on hand.

Happy wrapping!

Inspiration blog hop

2 September 2014

Last week, I was more than happy to agree when Catherine from Green Fingerprint emailed me to ask about participating in this blog hop. I couldn’t think of a better way to start September, so here we go!

WHAT ARE YOU WORKING ON? Currently, my biggest project is documenting life through Project Life and working on getting all caught up. I also have plans for several travel mini albums and themed albums that are all works-in-progress. Plus, I’m hoping to give the blog a makeover soon!

HOW DOES YOUR WORK DIFFER FROM OTHERS? For me, photos are a big focus of what I do. I love incorporating color and mixing various products to come up with fresh combinations.

WHY DO YOU CREATE WHAT YOU DO? I create to reflect my Creator. I create to remember the memories. I create because I can. I create because expressing creativity is part of what I do and love. And sometimes, I create just because I need an excuse to buy and use pretty paper.

Ameliawrites-Inspirationbloghop

HOW DOES YOUR CREATING PROCESS WORK? My creating process differs depending on what I’m creating. If I’m working on Project Life, I typically follow the process of planning, editing and printing photos, and completing the spreads (I’ll share more details in a future post). If I’m working on a layout or handmade cards, I let myself be inspired by the products I’m working with, or whatever is around me, and just roll with it. Like I said, it varies and really depends on my creative project at hand.

This week, I nominate Lauren, Vanessa, and Pam to participate in the blog hop. These ladies are incredibly creative. They constantly inspire me with their style and work and I am so privileged to call each of them friends! Be sure to check out their blogs next week to read more about their inspiration and creativity.

I also nominate YOU, my wonderful readers who want to jump in on this. Leave a link in the comments if you do so I can check out your post!

Creative Conversations no. 011 | chatting with Marta Andilla

27 August 2014

I discovered Marta when she was featured on Caylee’s blog. Then I promptly followed her on Instagram and fell in love with her style and design aesthetic. Marta incorporates color in such amazing ways on her projects and she is one of the sweetest people I know. I’m so glad she found scrapbooking and had the courage to take the plunge to create! I’m always inspired by her, and I’m sure you will be too. Welcome to the blog, Marta!

Tell me about yourself. Hi there! My name is Marta and I am 33. I live on my own in Hospitalet, a city close to Barcelona, Spain. I work 9-6p.m in the tourism industry. After that, I do what I really love: scrapbooking and blogging. Specifically, what I love the most is playing with my Project Life.

What is one weird or interesting fact about you? I love to write sci fi or fantasy short stories, also comic plots.

From time to time, I get hit by an idea or a character and I need to write it down. It is one of the most exciting things that I have felt!

What do you do to express your creativity? I mostly work on my Project Life but I also love to find new ways of expressing myself. For instance, some weeks ago, I discovered calligraphy is a fascinating way to soothe myself.

I also love art journaling and writing.

How did you get started doing this? I have never felt myself as an especially talented or creative person, but I learnt the best way to find yourself and discover amazing things is pushing yourself a little bit out of your safe zone. So, one day, I saw an ad about a scrapbooking workshop in my town and I decided to try it out. It was one of the most scary and disturbing things that I did (I sweated and sometimes I wanted to cry of embarrassment on the following workshops for months) but it also was super fun and challenging so I started my quest of finding out more about this hobby until now.

What do you love most about what you do to be creative? Project Life and mini albums are my fave.

Who or what inspires you? It inspires me words and emotions. People who write/tell and instill emotions and stories with a few words. People who are capable of writing raw and people who encourage you to be a better person. And if this is coming along with beautiful images or Project Life spreads, that is a total win for me! 😀

How do you stay inspired? What do you do when you feel stuck or uninspired? I must say that I usually find inspiration when I am working so I normally don’t go around trying to find inspiration. I have a strong desire to create and I have to sit down and do it.

I love to look at other’s people works. It blows my mind but I also feel easily discouraged because I compare myself. I try not to do it, but if I am having a bad week I do not realize it and I enter on a roller coaster all the way down. So I stay away from inputs: IG, blogs, facebook until I am OK.

If I am working on something and I feel uninspired I walk away of what I am doing. Usually, cleaning the dishes or leaving home and doing something totally different (like dancing) is what helps me the most.

Why do you do what you do? What motivates you to be creative? I always feel it is hard for me to answer this question. The simple way to said it is that it makes me feel SO GOOD that I just can’t stop it. Before crafting, I always felt a little lost and without a specific path in my life. With everything that I do now, I have found a new dimension of content.

Describe your creative style. Currently: Fresh, bold, and fun!

Name your top five favorite tools or products.

Cards
Stamps
Tiny alphas
Masks
Sprays

Are you an early bird or a night owl? When are you most productive? I love mornings but I am most productive when I am fully awake in the afternoons. I never can sleep more than 4 hours straight so I tend to feel sleepy!

What project(s) are you currently working on? At this moment, I am following Olya’s challenge: Project Life catch up and I would also love to find time to change the design of my blog.

If you had to be a color in a crayon box, which color would you be? Hot pink!…lemon yellow! Agh! Can’t decide! 😀

If you could possess a super power, which one would you choose? The power over time. Going back and forward and look at events. How fun would be watching at your self when you were little or watching Michelangelo painting!

What is your favorite quote? “Make it happen” has come along with me since I started this journey. Now, I think I would change it to “Let it happen” 😀

Isn’t Marta so inspiring? Follow her on her blog, Instagram, Facebook and Pinterest to keep being inspired. Tell her I sent you!

Creative Conversations no. 010 | chatting with Kellie Winnell

13 August 2014

One thing I really love about blogging and the Internet is all the friends I’ve made through it. And Kellie is no exception. This lady is bursting with creativity and has such interesting creative ventures. I love seeing how she is inspired by life, which is reflected in her creativity. Welcome to the blog, Kellie!

Tell me about yourself. I am a 31 year old, married to a guy I adore with 3 gorgeous girls, one pretty amazing pooch, living in a small town in Australia called Seymour. I design my own range of stamps, that I love doing. I am slightly addicted to DIY craft related projects.

What is one weird or interesting fact about you? I like honey and cheese slice on toast, together?

What do you do to express your creativity? I dabble in a little of everything. Although I would say to express my creativity I use my Project Life, and my Project ‘My’ Life. A little album I do that is all based on myself, and what I am currently reading, doing, liking and so on. I’m also getting into art journaling and loving it.

How did you get started doing this? I read about Project Life on a blog about mmmmm 3 or so years ago. Bought everything [wasn’t as well known back then in Australia]. Then failed at my first attempt. I can honestly say that not having a photo printer at home was the reason for this. I then got back into it and documented the whole of 2013, the only thing I have actually stuck with and finished for a project that runs for a whole year.

What do you love most about what you do to be creative? I can honestly not give just one answer, I love absolutely everything there is to love about being creative.

Who or what inspires you? Everything, from just looking out my window, to looking on Pinterest. The amount of times I am doing the weekly shop and see a picture or even a colour combo and get inspired I can’t even count on one hand. I’ve started keeping a notebook on me to try and write things down, because as quickly as I am inspired, just as quickly I can forget.

How do you stay inspired? What do you do when you feel stuck or uninspired? When I am stuck I am a firm believer of stepping away and taking some time away. I often get asked this since I blog 5-6 days a week and am often working on some type of craft. I take the time away, I start to do things that I feel the need to do, and if that means no crafting for a week, then that’s what it means. I often start back refreshed and with a new look on things I was struggling with before hand.

Why do you do what you do? What motivates you to be creative? I do what I do because I can’t see my life doing anything else. I love making things, I love sharing my love for things and I love that my girls are following in my path.

Describe your creative style. Simple, yet not? Because that made sense right, haha? Black and white are my thing. My style is constantly changing as I evolve.

Name your top five favorite tools or products.

Date Stamp
My stamp sets
Grid Cards
White Gel Pen
Black smash* pen.

Are you an early bird or a night owl? When are you most productive? I used to be a total night owl, up till wee AM. In saying that lately I feel more of an early bird, I am falling asleep by 10pm, so not me and up at 6am. Although I am most productive on weekends. Up till when ever I can stay up till getting creative. I love weekends.

What project(s) are you currently working on? Several things, my Project Life and Project My Life, new stamp lines, side venture I am working towards. Knitting and a hand full of DIY projects I am aiming to finish by the end of 2014. And in general, to simplify my life of clutter.

If you had to be a color in a crayon box, which color would you be? Black or Orange. Black because I love black and white really, no other reason. Orange because of my hair colour, haha.

If you could possess a super power, which one would you choose? To move things with my mind, seriously how much easier would house work be, haha?

What is your favorite quote? A day without laughter, is a day wasted.

Keep following Kellie on her blog, Instagram, Pinterest and Facebook!

How I get inspired (and out of a creative rut)

6 August 2014

Inspiration is everywhere so don’t get trapped in reading and watching too much. Get out. Talk to people, friends, family, loved ones. Draw inspiration from everyday life. It has inexhaustible references and is always original.

– Arnold Arre

After not creating for several weeks, I found myself in a creative rut. The kind of rut where you know there’s plenty to create, but somehow, you’re not quite feeling it, whatever it is.

But because creativity is part of who I am, I wanted to get out of the rut and back to creating again. And soon.

So I set out in search of inspiration. Because once I find inspiration, I usually climb out of the rut soon after and quickly get back to creating.

Here’s what I like to do when I hit a creative roadblock and need to be inspired:

Try something completely different. Instead of forcing myself to work on whatever I was doing, I like to change things up and do something else. This allows me to step back and give my mind some distance from the project. Often, when I return to the project later, I have fresh eyes to view whatever I was doing.
Take a break. This goes right along with the previous point. Go outside. Go to new places. Go for a run. Watch a movie. Spend time with people. Clear your mind and stop thinking about what you were doing. Sometimes, I find inspiration in unexpected places, whether I people-watch or go window-shopping. Inspiration can come when you least expect it.
Set limits. Sometimes, too much of a good thing can be a bad thing, like too many supplies or too many ideas. Whether it’s a time limit, or limited supplies, something about having a limit makes things just a little bit more challenging. And working within those limits can really help creativity to grow.
Experiment. Learn something new. Listen to a podcast. Pick up a new hobby or a new habit. Try a new routine. Changing things up can be surprisingly inspiring.
Be inspired in places outside your usual sources. Social media like Pinterest and Instagram can be great sources of inspiration. In fact, I often go to those sources whenever I need to be inspired by new ideas for my crafty and creative projects. But sometimes, reading books or magazines on photography, food, fashion or design (you name it!) can be a great way to be inspired by other people outside your “comfort zone”.
Just start. I know this sounds contradictory to point #1. But sometimes feelings are just feelings (especially when I’m feeling lazy) and I have to push through them to get stuff done. When I choose to just start, I set aside all those feelings. Often times, the inspiration and motivation just flows right back in, and I rediscover my love and passion for what I do.

Sometimes, doing just one of these is enough to get me inspired. Other times, it takes a few days and doing a combination of the above items. Either way, I love when inspiration just starts flowing back in!

Tell me, what do you do when you need inspiration or get stuck in a creative rut? I’d love to hear your thoughts and ideas!

Coincidentally, Caylee recently wrote a similar post on How I motivate myself to create. I loved reading her perspective so be sure to check it out! Also, I enjoyed this ALT post on looking for inspiration.

Creative Conversations no. 009 | chatting with Pam Llaguno

30 July 2014

I first discovered Pam on bloglovin’. And I fell in love with what she does – organizing + Project Life. Totally the things that float my boat. Pam is also a freelance designer and I love seeing her eye for art and design. Her blog is full of creative inspiration, as well as super helpful tips for getting organized and staying stress-free. Read on as we chat about all things creative. Welcome to the blog, Pam!

Tell me about yourself. Hi! I’m Pam, a 21-year old someone from the sunny Philippines. I’m a graphic designer, web developer, blogger and scrapbooker rolled into one convenient sushi. Japan is my creative paradise and I’m determined to be fluent in Japanese. Coffee is my best friend in the mornings, well actually, any time of the day 🙂

What is one weird or interesting fact about you?

Believe it or not, I graduated with a degree of Applied Mathematics, majoring in Mathematical Finance. So, I’m pretty handy with numbers 😉

pamllaguno-ameliawrites (3)

What do you do to express your creativity?

For the past five years, I was focused on my degree so that only creative thing that I was able to squeeze in were doodling in my planner and the occasional poster for my university organization. But just this year, I’ve started doing Project Life and it’s pretty amazing! Definitely, that’s where about 80% of my creative juices go.

How did you get started doing this?

I discovered Project Life through A Beautiful Mess (which is a totally amazing blog!) and after several hours of Googling about products and watching Youtube videos, I just decided to dive right into it 🙂

pamllaguno-ameliawrites (1)

What do you love most about what you do to be creative?

The fact that I’m able to immortalize my everyday life at the same time is pretty spectacular. I used to sort of shy away from scrapbooking because I find that scrapbooking a single memory somewhat randomly is a bit too disorganized for me. With Project Life, I see where the album is going. It’s the culmination of all the memories I’ve had for the past 365 days. Pretty cool.

Who or what inspires you?

Fashion and lifestyle photography inspires me a lot. A LOT. I’ve always loved dressing up and developing my own sense of style (I’ve had a few bad choices myself as well…) and I think it really inspires to me to try something new or just experiment with colors, patterns and textures.

How do you stay inspired? What do you do when you feel stuck or uninspired?

I go make myself a nice warm cup of coffee and watch a lot of Youtube videos or scroll through Instagram. Watching lifestyle videos really inspire me and get my gears running! Especially watching well-edited videos. Something about “regular” people crafting footage into amazing videos really gets me going.

Traveling also fills my creative juice tanks to the brim! If only I could travel all the time, I probably would. I’ll definitely go to Japan every month if I could 🙂

Why do you do what you do? What motivates you to be creative?

I’ve always been fascinated about design and was constantly irritated when people tell me that design is just making things pretty. In University, I learned about design thinking, which is basically making design solutions for any problem, and it all clicked. I want to share to people how design can make your life more efficient, organized and best of all, intentional. That goal right there motivates me to be creative 🙂

pamllaguno-ameliawrites (4)

Describe your creative style.

A healthy mix of messy patterns, clean lines and lots of white space 🙂

Name your top five favorite tools or products.

If were talking about scrapbooking:

Kokuyo adhesive
Alphabet thickers
Labels
Copic Sketch markers
Washi tape 🙂

Are you an early bird or a night owl? When are you most productive?

I’m naturally a night owl but I’m more productive when natural daylight is shining through my workspace.

What project(s) are you currently working on?

I have a couple of websites to design and develop for my amazing Etsy clients and I have lots of good stuff for my blog, Organized! by Pam 🙂 And of course, Project Life 2014 and couple of travel minis 😉

If you had to be a color in a crayon box, which color would you be?

Definitely, black 🙂

If you could possess a super power, which one would you choose?

Teleportation seems pretty cool and extremely convenient. I can just imagine teleporting myself to Japan whenever I want!

What is your favorite quote?

I don’t really have one favorite quote but here are some that really resonates with me:

“Success is never final; failure is never fatal.”

“The place God calls you to is the place where your deep gladness and the world’s deep hunger meet.” – Frederick Buechner

Thank you for being on the blog today, Pam! So glad to have you. Follow Pam on her blog, Facebook, Instagram and Twitter to keep being inspired.

Creative Conversations no. 008 | chatting with Caylee Grey

16 July 2014

Awhile back, I found Caylee through the Paislee Press blog and then proceeded to ~~stalk~~ read all her archives. She’s that good. Caylee creates with raw emotion and boundless creativity and style, making it so enjoyable to read her posts and see her work. She does it all so effortlessly. She recently left her day job and is running her own business full-time, which is such an exciting journey that I couldn’t be happier for her. Welcome to the blog, Caylee!

Tell me about yourself. I live a pretty good life in South Africa with my husband and fur baby. I force them into photos and homemade adventures, and they oblige because they love me. Last week I quit my day job and I’m crazyexcited to build up my business and not have to wear pants every day.

What is one weird or interesting fact about you? I get goosebumps when I sneeze. According to T, this is strange.

What do you do to express your creativity? Write out ideas, Project Life our everyday, art journal my innermost feelings, write in Notepad and delete it straight afterwards, read, wear silly underwear.

How did you get started doing this? I’m a planner. I started planning for Project Life two years before I actually opened up the file in Photoshop and added pictures. Once I got into the regular groove of Project Life I realised that I don’t actually have to plan every detail before diving in. It was a revelation. Now I try to do before thinking about it. That’s why I’m loving art journaling. There are no rules. It simultaneously freaks me out, and intrigues me.

What do you love most about what you do to be creative? Everything. Planning, process, and the final result. Each satisfies a different part of me.

Who or what inspires you? To do lists. Lists. Mind maps. Non-fiction books. Instagram. Not Pinterest. My husband.

How do you stay inspired? What do you do when you feel stuck or uninspired? I have an Ideas Moleskine, and Evernote. My Evernote is broken up into categories (blog, shop, life, creative, etc) and I get absolutely everything out of my head and into there. Sometimes writing down ideas lead to more ideas and that’s when my favourite types of projects are born. My Moleskine is less of a brain dump and more organised into plans. I’m working on shifting from ideas to completed projects, and so these lists include action points too.

Why do you do what you do? What motivates you to be creative? I do it because I get this itchy feeling if I don’t. I’m totally motivated by this itch and by the end result. I love seeing my art journals filled to the brim, and my Project Life files lined up on the shelf fills my heart with glee.

Describe your creative style. What I have learned is that I can’t force my style. I’d like to be minimalist but then I smear a bunch of glitter on the page. My style doesn’t fit in a box and I’m fine with that because everything I make still fits into the Caylee box.

Name your top five favorite tools or products.

Uni Pin Fine Line
Scissors
Double-sided-tape (stupid glue)
Photoshop
Moleskines

Are you an early bird or a night owl? When are you most productive? I’m a night owl and I’m so happy that working for myself allows me to stay up until as late as I can manage. I am my most creative at night, but I’m most productive in the first hour after waking up. It’s a good mix.

What project(s) are you currently working on? Project Life, my art journal, my Radical Self Love Bible, my Etsy store (fave project !), and bettering myself through self-learning.

If you had to be a color in a crayon box, which color would you be? Black since they wouldn’t get enough glitter in the gold.

If you could possess a super power, which one would you choose? The power to Get Things Done. And I’m truly working on this one.

cg-ameliawrites-06

What is your favorite quote? Pretty much anything that Chuck Palahniuk says, but this is one of the favourites: “Your handwriting. The way you walk. Which china pattern you choose. It’s all giving you away. Everything you do shows your hand. Everything is a self-portrait. Everything is a diary.”

I couldn’t fit all of Caylee’s creativity into one blog post, so be sure to follow her on Instagram, Twitter, Pinterest, and her blog to keep up with this inspiring lady!

Thank you for joining us today, Caylee!

Creative Conversations no. 007 // chatting with Meg Tsang

2 July 2014

When Meg first approached me about being a part of this series, I had seen her around on Instagram but I didn’t really know her. But I’ve thoroughly enjoyed getting to know Meg better both creatively and personally through this post. Meg has an interesting story coming into the creative industry; she also has an incredible eye for photography. And I love the different perspective of creativity that Meg brings to this series. Read on and get to know her better like I did. Welcome to the blog, Meg!

Tell me about yourself. I’m Meg. I’m an architect-turned-photographer based out of the San Francisco Bay Area and New York City. I photograph couples in love and growing families, all while traveling the world. I’ve been to over 100 destinations since starting my photography business in 2008. I love coffee shops, mornings and a good book. I love life, and I love love.

What is one weird or interesting fact about you? I once charmed a cobra.

What do you do to express your creativity? I express my creativity through my images and blog. I love capturing emotion in my images. When I can make my clients cry when they see their photographs, my job is done.

How did you get started doing this? I went to school for architecture and loved it. After graduation I worked at a firm design retail stores (and still get a kick out of visiting some of the stores we built). When the recession hit, I was laid off. I enjoyed unemployment for a bit, but soon got a bit antsy. I started stationery, jewelry and knitting companies before settling into photography. I was always interested in photography; I was that girl who always had a camera in her purse. So I started editing for an established photographer and shooting weddings and portraits while I searched for an architecture job. It was a very natural progression. Over time the construction industry wasn’t improving, but my business was growing. Six years later my business is thriving and I couldn’t be happier.

What do you love most about what you do to be creative? I love that I get to be a part of people’s lives. I love that I can help them save their memories. It’s really such a blessing to be a part of such happy moments.

Who or what inspires you? Life and travel inspire me. Sometimes when I feel uninspired, I take a moment to soak in my surroundings and search with in myself. That moment of peace usually gets me going.

How do you stay inspired? What do you do when you feel stuck or uninspired? Creating a close community of creatives has really helped me get through those uninspired bouts. I also make a concerted effort to constantly learn. I take classes and read books in topics that interest me, which helps feed my inspiration.

Why do you do what you do? What motivates you to be creative? I do what I do because it is who I am. I am a creative, to not be creative would be to deny myself my natural inclinations.
