Someone asked

Where I get all my ideas from for my plaques. I can't remember who asked the question and I'm too lazy to look it up but I will answer.

I do a lot of searching.

I search Pinterest. If I have no particular theme in mind I just do a general search for mixed media ideas. If I don't like the results I may change the wording up a bit.


I also do google searches the same way and look at the image results

If I see something that catches my eye I think about how I could copy the idea. Sometimes I have a specific theme in mind so I'll use that word in my search such as coffee or birds.

I wish I could say that everything I do is my own original ideas but that just isn't the case.

    It is not good to not give Gibbs the credit he is due. I am sorry for being away so song. I am now around 2/3 done with the processing for the new directory and am starting to see some light at the end of the proverbial tunnel.

    Anything we can use can be a good inspiration for an idea. I exclusively use the internet if I need to identify an animal or something else related to that.

    I usually find inspiration on Pinterest and in magazines. And recently on instagram too!

    What you find mirrors you and your humor.

    I would do the same thing if I were crafty. You have to get ideas from somewhere and I'm guessing the ideas you get they got theirs the same way.

    Have a fabulous day. Big hug to you and my very best to Gibbs. ♥♥♥

    First, you have to have the imagination and desire to do these things in the first place!

    I think Grace is right...it begins with you. Oh sure, you can find inspiration and ideas, but successfully creating the things you do takes a lot of talent!
