Tag Archives: Cardmaking

14 Oct

Crafting as Therapy

I have discovered the joy of cardmaking.  It is a wonderful respite from the stress of everyday life. I love shopping for craft materials at thrift shops and antique stores. The excitement of the hunt for inexpensive embellishments is almost as fun as creating the cards themselves. We don’t have a large home with a designated room for crafting, so I bring in one of the folding tables from the garage that we take to craft shows and set myself up in our family room with a view the television. I have tote bags filled with all my craft materials and I am ready for a few hours of bliss.

Like writing or photography, cardmaking is a wonderful release that allows you to become lost in the moment.  I find the creative process to be therapeutic because it gives a voice to my artistic spirit, which is all to often silenced by the overwhelming pressure of paperwork, deadlines, and bureaucracy. The time and energy I put into the unique design of each card is an exercise in mindfulness.

If you find yourself in downtown Glendale, Arizona Saturday Oct. 22, 2016, look for our booth, SILVERBROOK IMAGES, from 8:00 am to 12:00pm at the Glendale Farmers Market at 58th Drive & Palmaire where you can see these cards and many more in person!
