Oops … I haven’t added any sources of inspiration because I’ve been away for a few days.
It was wonderful to spend a few days in beautiful Noosa catching up with my sister, Karen, and her husband and one of my two lovely nieces. My brother, Jason, and his wife also came for the weekend. It has been a few years since we have been able to share time together.
No cardmaking during this time … but lots of laughter, food and wine.
So … where else do I suggest you go to seeking inspiration for your card designs and project ideas … the internet is where I go.
What did we do before the online information age?!? I’m old enough to say that when I went to school our only source of information came from books and other resources accessed in a library … and we only ever hand wrote an assignment or if we were lucky enough, typed it on a manual typewriter (yes – I am that old!!).
My internet suggestions include:
GOOGLE images
Pintrest
Websites for groups such as Splitcoast Stampers
and the websites and blogs of amazing crafters that you discover through the aforementioned sources ..
I have an art journal into which I sketch the ideas I find from all these sources … organised by stamp set and/or tools, making notes about the crafter I am CASEing.
Let me show you some of the cards that I have made this year – inspired by …
GOOGLE Images – a Pintrest image of Helene den Breejen
and my interpretation … 
Thank you Helene for your inspiration.
Again, via GOOGLE images and Pintrest … from Rachel Brown
and my interpretation … 
Thank you Rachel for your inspiration.
There are many more that I will share in time.
Sources of Inspiration 3 … soon.
One of the technical things on my ‘to learn to do’ list is – watermarking my images.
I am so thrilled to have so many new things to do and learn to do …
