I got my happy mail today from @Hansheng Lee !!! It’s incredible! All I said was “colorful steampunk” and this arrived!! I love it so much! Made my day! Thank you!!! Highly recommend! The detail is incredible and the pics don’t do it justice (they never do!)

Welcome to this weekend’s meeting of: 🎭 Unfinished Projects Anonymous Hi, my name is Kelly… and I have 17 projects staring at me right now. (That's not business projects either) Some feel fun. Some feel like they’d immediately relieve that low-key hum of overwhelm. So I’ve decided… 🎲 I’m spinning the wheel of creativity 💫 checking in with flow 🎨 and choosing one to play with today Because creativity isn’t about finishing… it’s about exploring, experimenting, and following the spark before it disappears… like your motivation on Monday morning. So instead of asking: “What should I finish?” Try asking: “What do I feel like playing with?” Today... I'm playing with an Easter-inspired collaboration created with @Connie Beaty That one tiny shift? It takes overwhelm out back… and hands the brush back to joy. Roll call 👇 How many unfinished projects are currently judging you? (No shame. Multi-passionate people don’t just survive in chaos… we decorate it.) 😏✨

Like… how did we go from a cozy giraffe in a beanie… to a bunny born from a cracked fairytale… to a farmhouse chicken living her soft life… to a lighthouse that feels like it’s holding secrets… to a bird that looks like it flew straight out of a watercolor daydream… Because creativity doesn’t follow rules. It follows curiosity… chaos… and those little sparks that say “This doesn’t make sense… but I LOVE it, and down the rabbit hole we go.” 🎨 This week’s downloads are your permission slip to: • mix styles that “shouldn’t” go together • create something just because it feels good • stop overthinking and start making So tell me… 👉 Which one are you grabbing first? 👉 And what are you turning it into? Because around here… We’re not here to make sense. We’re here to create magic. ✨ You can download them all HERE!

Moodboards are one of my favorite creative tools. (Golly Gee, I bet you didn't know that. LOL) When I’m exploring an idea, I’ll often gather colors, textures, and imagery that capture the feeling I’m drawn to. It helps me see the mood of a design before I actually start creating it. Here are two examples of moodboards I built while exploring textures like weathered wood, ocean blues, and aged patina tones. From those moodboards came two Whimsykel decoupage tissue paper designs: Baroque Patina and Winter Patina. Same creative process.Two completely different outcomes. Can you see or feel the same feeling in both the moodboard and the final design? That’s the magic of inspiration. Curious… Would you be interested in learning more about using moodboards to spark your own creative ideas (or even how to make them)? 👀 If so, I might put together a little Creative AF lesson on it.

You blink…and somehow it’s Wednesday again. Not Monday. Not Tuesday. No gentle warning. Just BOOM. The Creative AF universe drops another handful of designs into your lap like a confetti cannon made of imagination. 🎨 So welcome back to our favorite weekly tradition… WTF Wednesday Design Drop Because honestly… Where. The. Fun. did the week go? This week’s drop is a little bit of everything your creative brain didn’t know it needed: • A botanical whisper of vintage romance 🌿 • A leprechaun hat overflowing with lucky gold 🍀 • A minty spring bunny who clearly knows secrets 🐇 • A moody owl judging us all from the floral shadows 🦉 • A red barn that smells like sunshine and old stories 🌾 • A flower-crowned golden retriever who is 100% pure joy 🐕 • And a distinguished vintage duck who looks like he owns land 🦆 Basically… the design equivalent of opening a mystery trunk in an attic and finding art, luck, countryside charm, and one slightly judgmental owl. And now the important part… Your Creative AF Mission Pick one of the designs and tell us: 1️⃣ Which one is your favorite 2️⃣ What you would create with it Furniture? A tray? Wall art? Something wildly unexpected? Or if you’ve already started creating this week… Drop a photo in the comments. We want to see the magic happening in your studios, kitchens, garages, and creative caves. Because the best part of Creative AF isn’t the designs… It’s watching what you all do with them. Alright creators… The drop is live. Your imagination has been warned. Now tell me… Which one is calling your name this week? 🎨✨
