Every creative person has experienced it.
The crooked stamp.
The mis-cut paper.
The design that didn’t go as planned.
At first these moments feel frustrating.
But sometimes they lead to the most interesting creative discoveries.
A Creative Lesson from the Trail
During one winter hike, I missed a trail marker and ended up walking further than planned.
When I turned back, I noticed something I hadn’t seen before:
A moss-covered fallen tree glowing in soft light.
That moment became the centerpiece of a scrapbook page.
Sometimes mistakes help us notice what we would otherwise miss.
What mistake in your creative journey actually turned into a gift?
