What inspires me
Okay I was reading a post on the Blog of a wonderful person I have met through my journey of online scrapbook communities. She wrote about the things that inspire her designs. Now of course my main inspiration is my family, but I love how she posted the other things that are her inspiration. So I decided to steal this wonderful idea for my blog. Sometimes it is just the silly little things that get me excited so here are a few of mine and why.
RIBBON
Ribbon oh how I love ribbon. I love ribbon so much I get all giddy inside when I see it,LOL. I don't know why it is just so fun to use and so pretty. It makes my day to purchase a fun roll of ribbon. Sometimes if I am feeling a little down and are unsure what to create I play with my ribbon. It always awakens my spirits and gets my blood pumping in a way that I can create and have fun.
FLOWERS
Flowers, I mean come on every girl loves flowers. For me though it is not the stereo typical rose. I love sunflowers and daisies. I love the way flowers compliment a nice simple LO. I love the way you can add them all over for a fun and festive look and I love the way they seem to complete a page or give it that finished look.
ALPHABETS
I don't think I am the only one out there who loves a good ALPHA. I am not alpha partial either I mean it can be chipboard, metal, sticker, acrylic, or any flavor in between. I LOVE ALPHA'S. It must be the teacher and English major in me. My DH thinks I am silly when I get all giddy by playing with really cool alphabets. I mean you can do so much with them. This is a major key component to a LO. There are times I base my LO around my alphabets. The right title or journaling can make or break your look, KWIM.
PAPER
Yummy yummy paper, I love paper. Just looking at this blog post makes me realize how many things I love about this hobby. But anyways back to paper. Paper brings me so much joy. I love the varieties of colors and styles it comes in. It seems like no matter what your photo there is a paper out there to compliment it. There are so many fun makers out there it is always so fun to go and touch and feel it all.
Well This Long post was quite therapeutic to list today and it made me realize how much I love this hobby and the different aspects really affect my creativity. I hope you enjoyed reading this as much as I enjoyed writing it.
