A couple weeks ago when i opened my recent issue of Cookie magazine while enjoying a bowl of strawberries i immediately was drawn to the words and energy from one of the ads, so i had to recreate my own version. Then i had one of those ah-ha moments & want to share on my blog some of the random things that inspire me. if you don't mind. ;) Starting with this one 'inspired by a magazine ad.'
i will share things that enliven my mind and excite my creative soul. Not only for scrapbooking but for photography, crafting... and my life. What inspires you lately?

all the jacaranas, orange blossoms jasmine and lilies around my little place in SoCal... they came out of nowhere blazing their blooms and now they're starting to fade. Reminds me that stages and phases and beginnings and endings are a constant part of life.
magazines totally inspire me.
others are flickr, ffffound.com, stumbling, being outside, rain (i guess being cooped up inside like right now!) and elsie flannigan.
in fact, i have her first book as a giveaway on my blog if you are interested, and if you don't already have it!
she inspires me sooo much!
i love her style.
Ah... I LOVE what you did!!!
Wow! You've become quite the traveler. The SUN and the OCEAN...two of my favorite things, that gives me lots of inspiration, along with your cute blog!
Have Fun!
Enjoy Puerto Rico! Am so jealous--it's definitely on my "to visit" list!
Your mag-inspired photo is beautiful. Truly beautiful!
Karaoke?? Wish I could be there! Oh and the fact that you're in Puerto Rico too AND scrapbooking! ;-) That's so funny because I get that mag too and dogeared the page because I knew it would inspire a lo. Love how you used it! Inspiring me lately. . .Corey Moortgat and her book "The Art of Personal Imagery". I love her journals for her kids and her collage style is super inspiring to me. It's so whimsical and fun and carefree. Have fun! =)
love that you're in PR...my DH and I went last year and LOVED every second...enjoy! I also love your "breathe" page..I just got great news tonight...and your page just spoke to me--thank you!

I am inspired by by new craft room/office I am making for my new house we are moving to this weekend! Teal walls, here I come!
this post.
And planning a trip to go all by myself, to a place I've never been, I've never done that. ever....& I'm 35.
Puerto Rico? Wow...I dare you to get your hair corn-rowed by a street vendor and post that once you return...c'mon, you know you want to.
I'm inspired by all the ladies at personalscrapper.com, but espcially Mel! I'm scraplifting her right now.
Scrapbooking blogs/sites, long runs alone and having my kids say/do new things on their summer break inspire me. Thanks for the smiles and inspiration! :)
That's so funny that you pulled that ad out for inspiration. I saw it a few days ago and pulled it out as well. I've been trying to find the right picture to use with it.

Welcome to Puerto Rico… Enjoy every moment in this beautiful Island. This weekend will be wonderful with you and all scrapping lovers!
I love your style, it is so free and individual. So wonderful! Have a great time and I know those ladies will LOVE you!
Lately BLOGS have been inspiring me. My "favorites" list s growing quite long.
I am inspired by colours and fabrics and candles and blogs and etsy and flowers and hairpins and candy bars and family and husband-to-be as I plan our upcoming engagement party and wedding! So exciting!!
Of course I am constantly inspired by you and all of the great stuff on your blog! I am also very inspired right now by my new iphone! I feel so much more organized - streamlined - connected. It is really energizing me and opening up time for creativity!
this pic and design is so fanatastic. I wish I had pics of me like this. gorgeous!
I am SO jealous! Hope you have a great trip! Love your page too!
Can't wait to meet you this weekend. We've been waiting for you in Puerto Rico. I'll be on Sunday classes... See you. Enjoy life!
