💗 Happy Valentine’s Day! 💗 (for yesterday) 🤪

Here are some things I made! 🤗

[olivebreezy]

Was just having some breakfast this morning and thought I would share my super organised and tidy craft space 😂🤣 It’s still a work in progress, but I’m so indecisive on what I want and how I want to organise my supplies 🥴 Anyway, anyone else’s creative space looking like this today? Mine looks like this most of the time to be honest 😂

I was going through my supplies and found this “Mimosa Sunday” die cut pack so I did a quick spread before heading to work. Ugh, I wish I had more time to do more! But anyway 🤷🏾‍♀️

i love you to the moon and back

This one was a little bit rushed, but I really wanted to do a spread before work this morning 💕

our love grows with every memory we make

Yea, I realise I have been posting the video and the photos all over the place and not together like I usually would and I’m not sure why I’ve been doing that. I will get my shit together asap 🤣😂

I had been seeing a lot of butterflies around the time I did this spread, which was the inspiration for this page 🦋

Here is a succulent/cactus theme collaboration I’m doing with a journal friend over on tiktok! We’re not due to upload it until Sunday on tiktok so I thought I would share it here first! 🤗🌵 It’s been raining for a few days straight now and it’s the perfect weather to craft. I love rainy weather! 🌧

Hi Olive! Your spreads have really inspired me to try doing some junk/art journaling of my own, I'm just.. not sure where to start. I've got a small collections of stickers and washi, too much cardstock/scrapbook paper, a cricut, notebooks, just. So much stuff I could be using, but I honestly don't know where to start 😅 I'm also one of those people who love the idea of making crafts, but are terrified to actually use any of their supplies out of fear of somehow messing something up. Do you have any advice?

Oh ma gaaa, you have no idea how much your kind words mean to me! 🥺🤍

Honestly, some days I feel so overwhelmed by the amount of supplies I have, but don’t use. I found I was basically buying, hoarding and “organising” my craft supplies for years and not actually creating anything at all 🥴

About 8/9 years ago I joined Instagram and got lost in the creative community. I saw people creating such beautiful things with similar supplies that I already had in my stash and it was pretty much a big wake up call to JUST USE IT! And that’s what I did, I just started using my craft supplies - isn’t that so strange to say? 😂 They all really inspired me in so many ways. Don’t get me wrong though, sometimes I still hesitate to use something because “it’s the only one of these I have” but I go ahead and use it and the end result makes me feel so GOOD.

Just remember, creating is supposed to be fun so don’t be afraid to mess up! Sometimes the “mess up’s” end up being more beautiful then what you originally had in mind 🤗

I hope this helps, I’m not the type to give out helpful advice, but if it helps just one person then I’ve accomplished something!

Power to you on your creative journey, I hope it’s one you love and enjoy always ✊🏾🤍
