    I have watched you and Darcy and absolutely feel it's a great combination/comparison of creativity, technique, and inspiration and in my case something I can do!!! I love the attempt at perfection and the acceptance of it not being perfect as well as the ability to "fix anything" you aren't pleased with. It is really encouraging for me since I'm far from even knowing what I think is perfect and I might even be able to "fix" things I'm not happy with. Looking forward to seeing the progression of this journal as I attempt to make something similar. TFS 😍😍😍

    Hi Ceri the crafter. Recentish subby here, kind of new to journals but absolutely loving your work. Utterly inspirational. So my question is what is a digital? How do you use them? why do you use them? Where do you get them from? Perhaps you could do a video on this subject as I really need some guidance in this subject. Thanks for reading xx

    • @CeriGriffiths
      @CeriGriffiths  22 дні тому

      Hi Chris, a digital or sometimes know as a printable is an electronic file of images either in page format or ephemera format to be cut up and used for everything from journal making to card making and much more. These digitals are created by artists using images that they either hold the license for or their images within the public domain. Once you purchase and download this file/files you have that file for life and can print it as many times are you wish.
      Depending on the artist who created it you may be able to use the images for personal use only or for a limited use in things you create and then sell. It is very important when purchasing a digital that you are familiar with the conditions of use.
      I hope that helps, yes maybe a video in the future may be of some use, I’ll have to think on it.

    I recently started following you on this channel. I am curious, how do you stay motivated to keep creating? I am in a place where I go into my craft room and I just can't seem to do anything. It's like all my creative energy disappeared. What tips do you have if any for overcoming creative slumps?

    • @CeriGriffiths
      @CeriGriffiths  22 дні тому +1

      Robin, I’m not sure I can fully answer that except to say that my studio is my happy place and I’m blessed with an enormous imagination, other artists continually inspire me also, but there are days when I walk into my studio, look around and walk back out because I know that anything I create on that day I won’t be happy with.
      When I have days where I’m not in the mood I sometimes pick an area, cupboard, drawer etc and sort/tidy it. Invariably I’ll find a part finished project or a supply which I then deal with.
      I’m okay with having an off day, it gives me a chance to breathe. Having a UA-cam channel does come with commitment though and being a very organised person by nature my filming schedule is laid out far in advance, not to say I don’t alter things if I’m fired up about one project over another.
      Maybe if you’re having a day where you’re not feeling it just choose to do a small thing each day, fussy cut for 30 mins, make ephemera bases, sort supplies to find those out of date or dried up, that may get you back into the creative habit.
      Good luck.
