If you’re new to my community, a warm welcome to you! I’m so happy you’ve decided to join us!
Happy Thursday!
It’s a gorgeous day here in Central Ontario this morning! I treated myself to an hour of outside time and had breakfast on the patio this morning to celebrate my birthday! I think the official celebrations aren’t going to happen until the weekend, and then they’ll be small… dinner out with Shaun, and a trip to Golf Town to get some new golf supplies. And then at some point in the next few days I’ll also take myself over to Chapters to get some new books as well.
I have so say, this week has really flown by. I can’t believe that tomorrow is the last day for this summer’s bundle sale. I set a goal to sell 1000 bundles this time, and we’re about a third of the way there so far, but the last two days are usually the biggest selling days, so I’m hopeful that we’ll get close.
Last night I was working – or trying to work – on the new calendar pack that’s supposed to be done today, and I ended up with what I call an “ugly attack.” You might be wondering what that means – and no, it has nothing to do with my self-esteem; I think I look pretty darn good for my age!
An ugly attack in design terms – at least in my design terms – means that you feel like everything you create just looks “ugly.” The layers don’t fit together quite the way you thought they would. Or like me yesterday, the layers I created at 3 a.m. one night when I couldn’t sleep dropped right down into the “what was I thinking” category that made me question why I didn’t just delete them in the first place!
I’ve found the best thing to do when that happens is to just get up and walk away from it for awhile. Because once you get in the frame of mind that everything is ugly no matter what you create, it definitely takes a pattern interrupt to get you out of it. So last night I just shut the computer off and went to read a book.
This morning I added 3 new brush collections to my stash as if just having new brushes will do the trick, but it’s my birthday and I’m calling it a present to myself. I got one for Procreate, one for Photoshop, and one for Affinity. (And yes, they’re all on sale at Design Cuts if you’re interested.) I also signed up for a Skill Share course to learn how to use Procreate better, so that my 3 a.m. designs don’t end up on the ugly pile anymore.
This afternoon I’ll be working more on the calendar kit, and hopefully won’t end up deleting all the papers this time.
Now, here’s what I have for you this morning…
