Who inspires you? What inspires you? When & Where are you inspired?
I love creative inspiration. It can be as simple as something different to look at or even a quote from a conversation, or my favorite, a song lyric.
I just picked up Elsie's "52 Scrapbooking Challenges" book and let me tell you, I'm inspired! I love how she doesn't follow any set forth rules. She plays, she experiments, she creates. I want to do this more often. Think up new ways to use the simplest of supplies. There's a million possibilities out there. That is my goal!
I was inspired by an artist on one of my favorite blogs when I created the layout to the left. She's so talented and always writes great entries. I saw her layout a couple weeks ago and loved it. Her use of all the little paper intricaties got me excited. I wanted to play, see what I could create using this method. I got out my scissors and went to town. Now THAT'S inspiration! She's on the list to the side but here's another direct link Life One Step At a Time
What about websites? Do you have certain sites that inspire you?
Here are just a couple that inspire me.
Color
Color Scheme Chooser
Color Blender
Artists
Danielle Thompson
Becky Novacek
Stores
Anthropolgie
Clark Stationery
Etsy
Like I said, these are just a few. So now . . . tell me who, what, when, where, inspires you?
P.S. Picture above is my brother's dog Autumn. She's such a feminine little pup. She has her own little pool at the lake and she loves it. She looked so graceful I just had to take her picture. Don't you think this is the equivalent to canine sunbathing?
Love the layout. So cute.
