Inspire me please........

[taracotta7]

I haven't been in the scrapping game at all this week with everything going on around here. Please inspire me. I need to escape into Photoshop for a bit but can't even get a page started. SO, here is where I need you girls and guy........

What has inspired you lately? Show me a template, a color scheme, a favorite layout by you or someone else...........I just need help! And I am sure I am not the only one! LOL

Thanks for your help in advance!

Hmmmm well, I remember being inspired by sock monkeys at one point. Ring any bells?

[MommaTrish]

I'd been down and eh since Wednesday thanks to the whole Bella situation, but really wanted to scrap yesterday but was just feeling meh about everything. I ended up going on Pinterest and finding a page as opposite me as I could get and lifted it. Now I'm back to feeling creative. lol

I'm really love Ru's scrap therapy board on pinterest for paper layouts . . . I think she pins daily I've also been really inspired by UI projects on dribble and behance

[AnalogPaper]

Really like that layout Trish. . .

[MommaTrish]

OH YES! RU'S BOARD IS GREAT INSPIRATION!!

[MommaTrish]

(oops, sorry, not yelling! I had caps on since I'm working on something in Excel. lol)

[AnalogPaper]

Just downloaded a spreadsheet from speedscraps that auto generates bb and html for product links. Never think of this stuff on my own

*snort* That was VERY inspiring. I wonder if I saved it. LOL

Thanks girls. I appreciate the help. Off to look at Ru's pinterest board. Might have to dig through the galleries here to see if I find something to scraplift. You just NEVER know what I might do.

Anyone else have suggestions? Or pages that they have loved? I would love to see pages where I can love on them.

I've been in a digi rut, so I keep doing other creative projects to try to keep the juices flowing. I'm close to finished with the basic quilt I started a year ago, and I built a little craft desk for my daughter's birthday.

I want to scrap, and I have pictures and stories that I want to scrap, I just keep getting stuck as can't manage to put anything anywhere.

Tara, you could always post a photo or two here, and see what suggestions everyone has to scrap it with. E.g. You post the photo/s, we post colour scheme, kit, template, layout in the gallery to lift etc.

that is such an awesome idea!

I love the Glitter Girl vids over at 2Peas. I don't really scrap like Shimelle, but I love seeing her process as she makes her pages. It has really changed the way I scrap.

Great idea but I don't even have photos in mind. I got A LOT to scrap. I just can't seem to focus long enough in PS to get something done. I need to shut off my brain and just create. I did finally get a page done that is in the staff thread for FD. Just can't show it here yet. I used a template. It is pretty. I am happy with it. I just want to CREATE something on my own. Does that make sense? Nothing against templates I just want "my" vision right now. I really don't know what I am trying to say. LOL I feel like I am rambling. LOL

THanks everyone!

*swoon* Thanks!

Hopefully getting that page done is a start, Tara. I've started about 6 pages in the last month that I haven't been able to finish. And it's not even that I'm being a perfectionist such that I can't call them done, they are just random messes of pictures, journaling, and elements that I can't decide what to do with.

I did find a few on your board, Ru. I repinned them to my inspiration board. Good stuff! I hope I can just have a laid back day today where I get back into my groove. We shall see. I got one layout done yesterday so it is a start.
