Scrapping Tonight

Whilst browsing  the net this morning looking at photographers site for inspiration, I stumbled across this on Skye's website.
I found it so interesting and I will print this out and frame for my studio, I can probably tick most of them , every day!



It's sure is an eye opener isn't it!

Another great place for inspiration of every type, is Pinterest.  
Beware, it's totally addictive! I can get lots for hours on there.

Here is my colour combo based on the mosiac above :

This week I am inspired by blue and pink. Usually thought of us colours for new born babies, but when a brighter palette is used it can result in a funky colour combo.




1. Flickr Pink & Blue Baby Bumps - Funny Coincidence!, 2. Inde - Blue and Pink, 3. bokeh blue and pink, 4. Pink Turns To Blue, 5. New Pencils With Pink Erasers on Blue and Pink, 6. String of hearts, 7. pink in blue, 8. Pink & Blue Vanilla Cupcakes, 9. Amigurumi Pink and Blue Owls in Love

I have been out most of the day, and the light here has been dark and gloomy again, so I have been unable to take any decent project photos, gggrrrr. Tomorrow regardless of light I will pull out my studio lights and tent and I will have my Valentines projects photographed!

In the meantime I have been browsing the net and have been completly blown away by artisit Alisa Burke. i suggest you run on over to her blog NOW, and be inspired by these beautiful "healed hearts" and her valentines wreath (scroll down); both of which I want to make.


Alisa has given a tutorial for both these projects. Next scroll further down to a video of her at work, truly inspirational!

I have been inspired today, have you? Who or what inspired you?
Don't forget to add your name to this post for a chance to win a RAK from me
