Another Rabbit Hole

When it comes to creativity, it is easy for me to fall down rabbit holes. While it used to only be my own ideas and messes, now Pinterest and YouTube and Instagram allow me to peer over other people's shoulders and find inspiration for even more projects.  The opportunity for rabbit trails, and falling into rabbit holes,  is seemingly endless.

My current main creative outlets include Art Journaling, almost daily, and knitting.  But on the lower level I have a beautiful space, dubbed the "art cave," and an attached overflowing walk in closet full of art supply yumminess.  While I can sort and purge and be reasonably organized in the rest of our home, when it comes to art supplies I am a hoarder.  Every piece of it has potential.

Recently on Pinterest I saw these images, among many, when I searched for "Rolodex Ideas."

This is MY CUP OF TEA. Tiny pieces of art.  My mind immediately thought of writing out Scripture on them, because I have a daily habit of writing out the Word. So I Pinterested that, (can Pinterest become a verb, like Google and Googled?) and found even more.  This next photo is part of a dedicated post on how to create Scripture cards.  Love love love.

Months ago I had brought home a dusty old rolodex from work, (it had potential!), and so yesterday was THE day.  Time to make my first card.  My hope is to cut cards out of the piles of pretty papers that I own, to write verses, maybe insert the occasional photo... a rolodex that makes me smile.  Truly God created me with a *need* for creativity, and this seems like a perfect daily outlet.  Tiny little cards.

This coming Saturday our morning Bible study will review Philippians. As I read yesterday, I looked for a verse that popped out.  HOPE.  This verse inspires HOPE.

Today's verse card:

Today's was inspired by the photo which I had printed off of google a few weeks ago.
On both of the cards, I put the date on the back, and a few reflections on the verse.

And so... the Rolodex project is begun.  No hurry, no worry.  It is already is making me smile.  :-)
