What It Means To Me

I used to be a lot of different creative teams. I remember my days being design team for Prima Marketing and the excitement it always bring when huge boxes of Prima flowers, papers and blings arrived at my house. I was really proud because I was the only design team who came from Asia! I also remember when I was on Zoe Pearn’s team where she was the most coveted designer who were designing for My Mind’s Eye, oh boy, every time she released a kit I felt really blessed to get to play with her stuff. I quit most of my design teams now and I don’t even try getting into new ones thesedays, and I tell you it I felt a lot more creative and better now. I get to create with whatever suits my mood and whenever I feel like it. I am still on a couple of design teams which I love to death, but their stuff is always so charming and lovely I am ALWAYS in the mood to create with their stuff hehe.

Some people desperately want to win challenges and get on to design teams, I really can’t wrap my head around that. Why would recognition be so important to them than the craft itself? To me, when people whom I give my cards to or seen my cards say that my craft is awesome, that is a good enough recognition for me. Sure, winning the challenges or getting into design teams gets you loads of goodies, but you already own most of those stuff.. Am i right? Hehe.  I create therefore I am. I make cards  and stuff because I enjoy making them. That’s why I am at peace with what I’ve done. :)

Anyway, enough crafting wisdom crap from me. hahaha. I’m still here to share my cards. Hehe. Those tea holder projects still needs a little tweaking, hopefully by today I’ll finish them all and get to take pics of them. Meanwhile, I’ll leave you with this.
