Amy Ulen and The Creativity Playground

Welcome to The Creativity Playground blog where I hope to inspire you to take care of your mental health by engaging in creative play through paper crafting. 2021 marked the beginning of the newest iteration of this blog. I’m no longer a CTMH consultant, and I’m ready to recapture my crafting time for the pure joy of it and to help find balance between work and play. I invite you to join me on this journey and welcome you to a community of adults who value creative play.

I am back from #STLV and definitely caught the "con crud"! I tested negative for the big C, so keep your fingers crossed for me. I'm looking forward to winding down from the big event with crafting and naps. LOL!

The Card Maker Success Summit kick off party starts today, so check the link in my bio to sign up for your free ticket. I signed up for the VIP pass and am going to use that time to edit the photos from the Vegas convention!

What are you working on? 🖖

Do you play along with Craft Roulette? If so, do you also wait until the last minute to submit your card? LOL! 🤣

💌 I knew what I wanted to create for episode 168, and the hard part was done, because I colored these characters last month when I was a guest designer for the Perfect Catch limited edition box set at Kindred Stamps. I seriously don't know why I stress myself out by waiting...guess I'm just a deadline driven person.

➡️ Okay, here is where you can help me out...what are your best time management tips? How do you make time for play, work, and your health?! 🖖

I'm excited to announce that I am a guest designer for Kindred Stamps latest Limited Edition Kit, Perfect Catch! And my projects are on the official @kindredstamps website!

Now, don't mind me while I fan girl over here, but this is a dream come true. I have applied for the Kindred Stamps design team, but have never been selected. So, when I had the chance to win a guest designer spot at the Portland, Oregon, crop in January, I put all my tickets in that bag. LOL!

Preorders for the kit went live today and will close on 5/25/23.

If you are new to Kindred Stamps, click on the link in my bio for a 10% discount. Please note that the discount can't be used for the Perfect Catch kit as it is already discounted. So, I would recommend using the discount first and then placing a second order for the Perfect Catch kit.

So, which of these cuties do you want to catch?

Here is another blast from my summer past when I was making and not posting my cards...LOL!

This card is from Craft Roulette Episode 117 where Desiree Kuemmerle (@includethankyou) was the guest. Talk about timing...she is back on the show tonight at 6:10pm Central for episode 147!

What's your favorite Dr. Seuss story?! 🖖

😲 How is it possible that I have not posted in 6 months! I have made so many cards during that time. Wow! Well, I'm back and looking forward to sharing my cards with you again.

So, tell me, are you a Grogu fan? Is it too soon to be joking about kissing a million frogs? LOL! Was anyone else as disgusted as I was about the egg eating scene?!

I made this card for episode 146 of #craftroulette . I was at the @kindredstamps retreat in Portland over the weekend and really didn't have many supplies for card making. Luckily, the community of awesome women came to my rescue and I was able to create this card. The parameters were double tag card, 2 greens + 2, shelf/shelves, and In the Background.

Leave a comment and let me know if you watch Craft Roulette! 🖖
