Welcome to BDI-Create Today!

Hello my Creative Friend,

Welcome to bdi-Create-Today!
I’m Beth Buffington

Each time you visit Create-Today, you'll find artistic ideas, tutorials, adventures and recipes about how YOU can Create-Today.

Together, we'll explore the power of Procreate...the wonder—that is the color wheel... and the process...of making a creative process—a process in your life.
We'll also explore the art of business—and the business of art—to take your crafts...to CASH.

Spend a little time with me to discover how to find more ways and time to make your creative self happier, healthier—and MORE creative… as you Create-Today.

A little about myself.

I was the girl that made school posters… the artist for the yearbook…I made homemade cards…I alway had a sketchbook filled with whatever seemed fascinating at the time… cats… horses… cartoon characters… and glamorous, pretty girls from magazines. 

I went to college to study illustration and graphic design. In my professional life—I’ve created as a graphic designer, illustrator, product designer, marketing specialist, and digital illustration instructor.

Today… I live in Chicagoland with my husband, Tom and our Westie pup, Razzberry. 
I run my my BDI Celebrate-Today and Create-Today businesses from my home studio.

My personal art is focused on creating home and gift products that celebrate the simple moments of each day.

As we all know… Life is everyday.  And, It’s being grateful and making the ordinary - extraordinary that helps us celebrate "today"  For example, eating takeout on a Tuesday evening on the good china by candle light —that can be a celebration.

Our world today… is a crazy, noisy and sometimes, a frightening planet…

As creatives… I believe one of the best ways to stay grounded…and calmer… is to find moments to Create-Today… 
Finding a little time to be creative each day - helps us stay centered, happier and even healthier.
