Creativity Doesn't Have Any Rules

I realize I have become obsessed with a hobby that can be a bit expensive when you add up all of the money spent on equipment, and supplies, and the gas to travel to the local crafts store, but I love it. When I first got back into scrapping and art, I was a little intimidated and just trying to make that perfect item, but now that I've been making cards (which is a new creativity for me), it just hit me that there are no rules for creativity. When I chat with scrappers and cardmakers on message boards, we all have something in common...we are our worst critics of our work. We fuss over whether we have the perfect color cardstock combination or that perfect element of bling or accessories that would set it off. Basically we are designers who work with paper or canvases. One thing that I know for sure as being an obsessed crafter of paper...I get to meet wonderful people who has a passion that I enjoy doing and that's just simply creativity.
