Finding Inspiration for Your Paper Crafting

Where do you find inspiration for your paper crafting?

I often use photos I find in catalogs and magazines for my paper crafting inspiration.

Now is a great time to get ideas and inspiration as you thumb through the holiday catalogs that have been arriving in the mail for the past month or so!

Garden and seed catalogs are finding their way into mailboxes now too.

Newspaper ad inserts are also a good source of paper crafting inspiration.

Look at the bedding, linen, tablecloths, even clothing that are featured in the sale.

Use them for color combination and design inspiration.

Here's the page from a National Wildlife Federation catalog that inspired me for this month's Fresh Idea Newsletter:

I created 3 cards using the images on the page above.

All 3 were quick, easy and done in about 5 minutes.
