Inspiration comes in many forms without us even knowing. I was inspired last week after watching a show on TV called "Eat yourself skinny" to make nacho chips out of flour tortillas. I never thought the good old CCs would be cast aside for flour tortilla chips, but I did it and I have a new favourite. who woulda thought.
Inspiration for my scrapbooking pages normally comes from everything around me. I love watching galleries like those on blogs and on 2peas. I've always said if inspiration doesn't hit, to find a layout you love, start to do your version of some small element on that layout and pretty soon you are away.
Aussie Scrap Source has been visiting different forms of inspiration and recently I completed an assignment to find an article or something in print as inspiration. This is the advertisment I chose.
At first it was the colours that got me. Then there was the huge amount of journaling. Then the flowers. The title – the pic on the angle. The whole thing had so many possibilities.

Have a good one, everyone… I'll be back in day or so with photographic evidence of our trip searching out the cemetary that has William Howard. I'm now officially obsessed with searching old census records and other family tree type things. Like I need another obsession.
Laters.
