I first heard this saying a few years ago when I was struggling to make sense of my life. When I created this blog for my handmade cards, I adopted the saying as my tagline, because I believe in it so much. I never believed myself to be beautiful or creative, that was a term for real artists not for me a mere cardmaker, who would copy cards I saw in magazines. What I didn’t realise then was that the cards I made were never like the originals, I had made them my way, using the supplies I had, and chose the colours and papers I liked. They were my creations.
I had been making cards, teaching card making, and even selling the cards I made at the local florist, but still did not believe I was talented or creative.
When I came across this quote from Coco Chanel, it all began to make sense. “Beauty begins the moment you decide to be yourself.” I’d like to add to that now, beauty begins the moment you decide to be, to know, to believe, and to trust who you are, who God has made you to be, and what he has put in you. And he has given me a love for paper and creating beauty with it.
I hope this inspires you to create your own kind of beautiful!
Love
Funfull Creating
