Great blog idea. Here's my latest source of inspiration... I stopped and picked up some new paper samples while at a function hosted by a paper company yesterday. It's been a long while since I've really looked at new paper and I have to say just feeling some of the paper stock that is available now inspired me to start work on a new self-promo piece (something I normally dread and will put off ad infinitum, even though I really need something to hand out at networking functions or send to prospects). Sometimes it doesn't take something totally new to inspire, just revisiting a place or experience you haven't been in a while can do it.
ReplyDeleteSo true. Just the other day I was out with my mom and my kids. We were in a craft store and they had a huge display of scrapbooking papers right at the door. I'll probably never even consider scrapbooking for any reason whatsoever, but I bought 20 pieces because they were incredible and just standing there looking at the rack I was getting tons of ideas for these great patterns and textures.
ReplyDeletei also like the textured papers for inspiration. inspiration is a funny fickle thing. some days i just walk outside and see a pretty leaf and feel inspired. others i look and look and don't get that warm fuzzy feeling. it's all about attitude and how open you are to it.
ReplyDeletecool idea. i think i will be back often.
