friday freebie | heart border

I thought maybe I might share a little ‘behind the scenes’ as to how my brain works. It’s kind of scary to go there as most things in my brain are scary in a demented sort of way. But I thought it might be fun to share that part of my creative process. Maybe fun? I dunno. Maybe I’m just being weird, which isn’t hard.

So last night I was watching my Thursday night dose of The Mentalist and up pops a commercial with a ribbon of sorts rolling around on the screen. All of a sudden an image popped into my head of a rolling ribbon, but being in the Valentine mood that I’m in, the heart popped in my head as part of that ribbon motion. Which resulted in today’s freebie:

Sometimes I feel like I get inspiration in the weirdest places. lol And once it popped in my head I had to jump up and find the nearest writing combination, lest I forget the idea–which, in this case, happened to be a pencil and a napkin–drawing it in the dark of my bedroom with the television as my only glimmer of light…which I was mostly blocking with my rather round body. Hey, whatever works man.

So, that was probably more than you really cared to know. ;)

So you’re saying that TV is good for us not just something that turns our brains to mush when we watch too much?

PS Thanks for the awesome freebie! However you may have come up with the idea!

totally! not only is tv good for going into a vegetative state, but because your mind is ‘open’, it leaves spaces for ideas to wander in. :)

Thanks for the cute freebie. I love to hear the creative process. Many times people look at me when i say something wondering “where did that come from?”. Actually i think it is a sign of your genius. I imagine Albert Einstein wrote on napkins. They say Lucille Ball was a genius, always one step ahead of you in the conversation. So there, in my opinion you are in good company with your creative process.

Lol! Like where you got the inspiration. I was watching the credits after a movie and the thought popped into my mind that the way the credits were done would make a nice scrapbook layout. Thanks for the free file. I know it will find its way on a couple of cards.
