Scrapping Inspiration

[sczos911]

When the mojo is on "E," where do you turn?

For Layouts -
• I look at my favorites folder to scraplift.
• I go to the Pencil Lines Blog.

For topics:
• I look at the Hodge Podge & DigiDare sites.
• I go to babyloveletters.com.

So where do you go?

I'm like you - I look at my favourites, or use challenge blogs. I find that starting with a template usually helps too.

For challenges, apart from the ones here and the ones you mentioned, I like Scrapping the Music, Scrapping the Music in Norwegian, The Creative Type, Gutter Girlz, Scrapjacked, and probably some more that I can't remember right now

I never need anything more than my faves!! what's funny is I usually get stumped trying to make my version of someone else's LO work, so about 20 minutes in I just punt and make it into something completely different. But it works for me!!

I guess I'm weird because I add layouts to my favorites but I very rarely go back to them for inspiration. And if my mojo is completely gone, the last thing I usually want to do is look through a gallery of amazing layouts.

The only thing that seems to work for me is to walk away and do something else for a bit. Whether it's for a few days or just an hour or less, it's the only thing that seems to work for me.

I also like to do challenges or browse through the store or my photos for ideas. Usually something will spark an idea that will work. I'd like to start keeping a list of ideas though because I tend to forget the ideas I had when it comes time to actually scrap.

This is exactly how I am!!! If I try to force it, it stays away longer. So, if I just stop & walk away, it's much better! lol

I look at my photos... that gives me inspiration when the mojo is MIA... however, then I realize how very behind I am. So, I usually grab a template and go to work... then if I just can't take it anymore, I'll step away from the PC and thumb magazines... scrapbooking, home decorating, parenting, etc... subject doesn't really matter.

this for me too ... think Col started me off on this with a project in a tin that morphed into a little spiral book because my hybrid skillz are not that hot, but I still have the tin for my son's funny phrases...

for inspiration, Kathryn Wilson's blog is amazing for visual yummies, and also Audrey Neal's - a kitchen sink of good stuff...

Pottery Barn, Williams-Sonoma, C&B catalogs, BHG mag also do in a pinch
