Just popping in for a quick Creative AF check-in. This week I’ve been knee-deep in a Shopify Challenge here on SKOOL, learning ways to make my website work smarter instead of just looking pretty. Which also meant I had to pre-plan a ton of business stuff last week like some kind of organized creative unicorn. 🫠 I honestly thought I’d still have time to get more creating done… but reality said, “Cute idea.” So I only managed to finish two pieces this week. Completely different styles just like mood swings. 😳 I uploaded the high-res files here instead of putting them in the Freebie Vault classroom because… well...time. LOL. Sometimes “done” wins over “perfectly planned and organized.” Now I want to hear from you…How’s your week been going? And do you have any fun plans for Memorial Day weekend? If you are grilling can I just suggest you grab some of Big Poppa's seasonings. They are amazing!!! We'll just be hanging out and hopefully the pop up rain shows will have stopped by then.

Flowers + black and white cowhide samples = Sassy Moodboard. I find myself wanting to put together a fun outfit, design a funky chair with these colors, and cowhide or break out my paints and magenta moo decoupage paper and paint some cowhide texture accents on a piece. Anyone else feel inspired with this sassy moodboard??

WTF Wednesdays started as my way of dropping free designs for you to play with… but if I’m being honest? Lately, it has started feeling like… Kelly makes things 👉 you vote 👉 repeat. And that’s not what I want this space to be. I don’t want this to feel like it’s about me. I’m not the show. I’m just the host holding the door open. What I actually want? I want this to feel like the place where you walk in and think: "Oh… these people get me.” The ones with too many ideas. Half-finished projects. Random bursts of genius at the worst possible times. The “I don’t want to pick just one thing” energy. The kind of space where… ✨ You share something messy, and people encourage you to keep going ✨ You get unstuck because someone else said the thing you needed to hear ✨ You stop overthinking and just start creating ✨ You feel like you found your people… your "tribe" So if we’re shifting WTF Wednesdays… we’re not just changing what I post. We’re changing what this space "feels like". 👇 So tell me… In your dream version of our Creative AF tribe… What makes you stay? What makes you show up? What makes you think “yeah… this is home.” No filters. No “right” answers. Let’s go down the rabbit hole and build this space "together" 🔥 ps... feel free to use this "The Dream Awaits" design if it strikes your fancy.

There’s something about beachy tones that feels like the world finally unclenched its jaw for a minute. Sunwashed woods. Sea glass blues. Sandy neutrals. Shells that look like tiny sculptures nature casually tossed on the shoreline like, “Here. I made art again.” This palette feels like slow mornings, salty air, driftwood treasures, linen curtains moving with the breeze, and that version of you who swears you’re just “going to relax” but somehow ends up rearranging furniture, painting something, and starting three new ideas before lunch. 😏 I love how soft and grounded this one feels without being boring. The little whisper of blushy pink keeps it from floating too far into “beige oatmeal showroom” territory. Creative question of the day: If this moodboard became a room, piece of furniture, or creative project… what would it turn into?
