Here are some things that are inspiring me right now!

Totally inspired by the floor of this office…

…from the Apartment Therapy blog.  I've never seen anything like it! 

CD Muckosky's Digital Kits over at Little Dreamer Designs.

I'll admit that I haven't bought one yet because I want them all and I'm trying to decide which ones I'll actually purchase, but they're AMAZING!

How about this poster?

I found it on Design*Sponge.  Love it!

I read this quote:

But art making is all about risk taking. My biggest leaps are always
when I try something different….It's all about the seeking and the
searching. And the letting go.

…on this blog.  So true.  So true!  I really feel like I do better work when I'm working outside of my comfort zone.  It's a good reminder to push myself.

How cool are these playing cards?

It's from the Design is Mine blog.

Love the stitched sun on this layout!  I'm loving all the stitching I'm seeing on layouts all over the place!

I found that layout on the GCD blog.  It's by Summer Johnson.

  • I can always count on finding inspiration when I visit you here Julie! Lately? Since my carpal tunnel surgery I’ve been thumbing through some of my old tattoo mags and finding a lot of Beatnik/Rock-a-billy & Pin up inspiration…I think I need to get back to work on Gramp’s heritage album and work on the pics from the 40’s & 50’s! I’m DYIN’ to pick up a paint brush and tattoo machine again too!
    Hey! We miss you & Mom at the crops! Anytime you can make it out here we’ll MAKE ROOM for you girls!
