There is something I HATE to do, really HATE to do. Every week I must do this and I spend most of the week dreading it. What is it?
Paying the bills. I detest writing the checks, abhor stuffing and stamping the envelopes. Until today.
Thanks to Seth Apter’s newest stencil, Inside Out, I am no longer cursing the act of paying the bills! I found a way to look forward to it. Dare I say, even be excited about it! Check out the video and how I turned the dread of bills into painty playful envelopes.

I had a blank canvas in front of me and I just could not make a decision on how to begin.
Paint or spray ink or watercolors? Stencil or collage or sketch? Blue or green or purple?
The questions just kept coming. I was completely in my head. Frozen. Not a decision could be made.
I turned to my friends over in A Colorful Playground. I pulled up the Google+ community on my computer. I looked for 3 seconds and whatever grabbed my eye, I had to use some element of it. Only allowing 3 seconds thwarts that over active left side of my brain so I can actually get busy creating!
Check out the video to see how I did the Hokey Pokey, centered a word with an index card, and let A Colorful Playground get me unstuck!
Here are the posts that helped me get unstuck from some very creative women! You can check out all the creativity and inspiration over at A Colorful Playground. If you’re new to Google+, don’t worry, we’re all learning it!
I’d love to know if you ever get stuck when you’re creating. Let me know in the comments how you handle it if/when you get stuck!
I’m finding freedom in the leftover bits and pieces with a little art play in my guest post today. Stop on over to Create Mixed Media to check out the photos and the video.
