MY STORY: From “Not Creative” to Colorful Chaos – and Loving Every Bit of It
Nice to have you here! !
For most of my life, I was convinced I wasn’t creative.
I couldn’t paint like Picasso, my stick figures looked awkward, and art class? Let’s not talk about it.
Then my daughter was born.
I wanted to create a beautiful photo album for her, just like I used to do when I was younger — before we all lived online. That’s when I stumbled into the world of scrapbooking. And guess what?
I realized I had already been doing it 20 years ago — just without knowing it had a fancy name.
Suddenly, it hit me:
I am creative.
Just not in the “art-school-gallery-show” way… but in a real, playful, joyful way.
And maybe that’s true for you too?
Through scrapbooking, I discovered my love for all things creative — from needle felting, pyrography, lettering, drawing, and making bracelets to every kind of crafting imaginable. At home, creativity is part of our daily life — we often spend time together making, tinkering, and trying out new ideas.
Even Zentangle® wasn’t “new” to me — I had been filling my school notebooks with doodles and patterns all along. I just didn’t know it had a name.
At some point, I started publishing books on Amazon. And they did really well – yay!
But then… the headaches began.
- Amazon’s algorithm kept raising the prices automatically because the books were selling. So annoying! I had to check daily just to keep things fair.
- And the paper quality? Not great. Especially for coloring or journaling.
- Plus, you have to set a minimum price that sometimes makes no sense (like for my printable advent calendar – which you can now download for free 💛).
So I thought:
Why not just create a space where creativity flows freely, where people can download beautiful things instantly, print them on the paper they like, and enjoy them right away?
💡 And voilà — this website was born.
Okay okay, it wasn’t exactly a magical voilà moment… It actually took me over two months, countless mugs of tea, a steep learning curve, and the occasional “Why is this button not working?!” meltdown. But here we are — and I truly hope this space brings you inspiration, joy, and plenty of creative sparks (without the tech tantrums 😉).
Here you’ll find creative PDFs for coloring, pattern art, journaling, crafty fun, learning, and more. Some are playful, some inspiring, some totally weird in the best possible way.
And more is coming — think: printable travel journals, homeschool tools, crafty cards, and lots of creative little surprises.
Thanks for being here! I hope you find something that brings joy to your day (and maybe a little chaos to your table ✂️🖍️💥).
Let’s keep the world a bit more creative — together.

🧡 Still not Picasso. But totally okay with that.
Creativity is often underestimated – dismissed as “just playing around” or something only for artists. But here’s the truth: the greatest minds in history were the most creative ones.
Einstein didn’t just calculate his way to discoveries – he imagined riding alongside a beam of light. Leonardo da Vinci wasn’t just a painter – he was a visionary who saw possibilities others couldn’t dream of. Steve Jobs didn’t just build computers – he reimagined how we connect with technology.
Creativity isn’t just about painting or drawing. It’s about seeing solutions where others see problems. It’s about innovation, imagination, and thinking differently.
When we engage in creative activities, something magical happens – we enter a state of flow. Time disappears, worries fade away, and we connect with something deeper within ourselves. This isn’t just fun – it’s essential for our wellbeing.
That’s why spreading creativity matters so much to me as an artist.
Because creativity isn’t a luxury – it’s part of our essence as human beings. Every person has this spark within them, waiting to be ignited. Whether you’re solving a work problem or simply doodling, you’re tapping into the same creative force that has driven human progress for millennia.
My mission is simple: to help you reconnect with your creative spirit, one download at a time. Because when we create, we don’t just make something beautiful – we become more fully ourselves.
Let’s create a more creative world together. ✨
