Dream Boards

I went to the craft store yesterday and I’m amazed that I left minus only $30.00.  I am like a kid in a candy store & it is so hard to choose!  I left with some new paint, papers, foam board, fat quarters and stickers (it was a good sale!).

I needed to go because I’m working on some journal totes and needed interfacing

And I also wanted to work on a Dream Board, often called Vision Boards.  I have done these for years but can never get mine looking like those that I’ve seen as examples.  I can’t clutter my board ~ I suppose because my dream is simplicity.  I did add some “clutter” through painting the background first.  Well, painting sounds like I’m a real artist ~ I scribbled some paint on the board.

I used oil pastels to draw a vase with a few flowers (because that’s all I can draw besides a coffee cup and lightbulb!) and put a “yoga” lady in the center to represent me as a balanced foundation ~ because this is a DREAM board.

My flowers had hope, imagine & dream.

I added a cross charm, some ribbon on the edges (not shown here), lots of glitter and a “balanced” definition.  Also not shown here are the pictures and words around the center = my hopes for a future filled with abundance in authenticity, wholeness, dancing in the waves and creative endeavors.

What gets your creative juices flowing?

  3. My vision board looks nothing like yours. You obviously devoted time and focused on decor and beauty. Not, I. So, I guess you get my creative juices flowing, 'cause I'm now motivated to spend some time redoing mine. Yes, I think it's a great idea for me. Thanks so much.

  5. i keep my art supplies well stocked, but I don't spend a lot money on this. I buy things on clearance, at rummage sales and at resale stores. I also hang on to broken pieces jewelery, buttons, interesting fabric scraps and things found in nature. Oftentimes an item or color scheme or texture will inspire an idea. I have lots of works in progress and find that putting something away for a while can evoke a whole new perspective. Jenny
