4 In Inspiration

Be Inspired

Happy Monday sweet blog readers! I hope you all are having a great weekend! I actually created a layout with cardstock and stickers this weekend! Whoa, huh? I know! It was fun, but the mess I made was NOT fun to clean up! I always hate that part, but I’m the type of scrapper that I just HAVE to have a clean area to work on once I finish a layout. My studio in this house isn’t completed yet either so I had to drag a bunch of my stuff out to the kitchen table and well – that’s a pain, but necessary. Caylin scrapbooked with me and it was sweet. :)

So I actually have some creative things to share with you today! First of all, I’m hosting over at the A Million Little Things blog this week. I was debating on what I was going to blog about this week and then it hit me – one thing I love is getting inspiration from the web. Whether it’s on a blog, Facebook, Etsy or my latest love – Pinterest – inspiration is EVERYWHERE and so this week, every day on the AMLT blog I’m posting an inspiration piece and then creating something inspired by it! It has been fun! I’m calling it…

Today I even have a couple of the other AMLT design team girls joining me! I hope you hop on over there and check it out! You can even save the inspiration pieces and then just use them in the future when you need to get those creative juices flowing! Here’s today’s inspiration piece:

 
The above artwork was done by one of my favorite artists – Jill McDonald. LOVE her work! You can check out her blog HERE
This is the layout I created that was inspired by the above artwork:

I also created a digital layout a few days ago with another fabulous template from Crystal. You can find it HERE to download for free!

 
Is that a cute template or what? SO easy to use, too! I hope you all have a blessed Monday!

I also wanted to wish my parents a Happy 41st Anniversary today!! Isn’t that awesome?! Love you both so much!

I’m so happy that I have lots of wonderful pictures of them younger and throughout the years. Just another good reminder to take pictures and take them often! They will mean so much to your kids when they are older!

I’ll be back with MORE goodies very soon, including a giveaway and a great way you can help, too! So many exciting things coming up! See you again soon! ;)
