What Inspires Me

On the days when my crafty mojo has got up and went, I don't fret. I know that inspiration is just a few clicks away!

I find most of my inspiration from the following:

YouTube

There is a plethora of crafty "how-to" videos out there. I particularly enjoy videos where I can learn a new technique as well as videos of new product releases. 

Pinterest

Pinterest should come with a warning label because it is soooo addictive! I love it for more than just papercrafting. I also enjoy pinning the following:

Craftroom Organization
Crocheting
Cross Stitching
Home Renos
Mini Albums
Photography
Outdoor Living
Sketches
Recipes

Instagram

There are a lot of talented crafty folks out there, some of whom design for my favourite crafty companies. I enjoy double tapping on their awesome creations and leaving them some comment love.

Scrapbook & Cards Today Magazine

SCT is my favourite paper crafting magazine! There are so many inspirational projects and ideas to get your mojo going. They also offer online classes and quarterly kits with the latest and greatest products that coordinate beautifully and even include full colour instructions. And don't get me started on how much I love their Crop & Create events!!

Sketches for Layouts and Cards

When I'm short on time and just want to getter dun, sketches are my go-to solution. I've been using sketches for years. My favourite website for beautiful sketches is Page Maps.

Cut Files

Electronic cut files are also a great starting off point because most of the design work is already done for you! There are a ton of places you can get them, some even for free! Here are just a few of my faves:

Paige Evans
Silhouette Design Store
Just Nick Studio
The Cut Shoppe
Paper Issues (free!)
Scrapbook & Cards Today Magazine (free!)
