Mixed Media Inspiration Deck™ Empowerment Edition Blog Hop
I bet I've never mentioned how much I enjoy decks of cards. I don't ever talk about it, but I have an enormous collection, ranging from Tarot decks (I own tons!) to Yoga decks, to a deck by my friend Orly Avineri to these decks by Kiala Givehand. Decks bring great pleasure to me. The cards feel good in my hand, and I truly enjoy the inspiration I gain from each and every deck I own.
Watch along as I play with Kiala's inspiring cards and get to explore some topics out of my comfort zone.

Lively spread Mary Beth! I like the floral - is it fabric?
ReplyDeleteI love this idea! Such fun. This page is filled with colorful inspiration!!
ReplyDeleteI love your video and art journal spread, Mary Beth!
ReplyDeleteSo happy you are on this blog hop!
Mary Beth this is an excellent idea with the inspiration decks! Just last night I was working on a piece and am stumped on what to do next. These would be great to have! dplintner@yahoo.com
ReplyDeleteI love this spread and your use of the cards. I like how you put back the one that did not suit you (I do that too). Thanks for sharing. Great blog hop.
ReplyDeleteFun way to prompt some inspiration - thanks for demonstrating!
ReplyDeleteI loved the prompt deck of cards!! loved your journal spread! Thanks for the inspiration!!
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun way of determining which way to approach the blank page. I love how you did this.
ReplyDeleteI love the vibrant colors in this, MaryBeth! I also love Kiala's cards! What a wonderful way to start when faced with a white page or just to be reminded of other media in one's art supply arsenal!

ReplyDeleteLove the new color scheme MartpyBeth. The deck is a great place for inspiration. (I’m with you on the sprays, I donated all of mine too recently...)
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea the decks are! Perfect for "what next?" moments. Great page.
ReplyDeleteI love card decks too. I have many Tarot and Oracle. I didn’t realize there were these type cards! Love them
ReplyDeleteKiala's cards are such a great way to get us to do things we wouldn't normally do! Love your spread, Mary Beth.

ReplyDeleteI love the card idea too but I am going to make a spinning wheel for myself to get into the habit of doing one thing I dont really care for every day.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Barbara

I really like the idea of the cards! Thank you for sharing, Mary Beth!
ReplyDeleteI think it is hysterical that you put the first card back! Hey, if it isn't going to be fun, why force yourself to work at it in your play journal? Thanks for the inspiration! jill (at) jillholmes (dot me)
ReplyDeleteThe inspiration cards are so much fun! An empty page is automatically full when given suggestions from the cards. Love your journal page, MB!
