For You

Good Morning to my blogging friends,

Inspiration comes to us cardmakers in many ways, however sometimes it just never comes, but yesterday when I was in the craftroom I thought I would never find a card that I could share.  I do make cards from time to time that I call "rejects"(maybe someday I will make a post of all my rejects) and they set here for days, maybe months and I may or may not go back to them and give them a boost, but yesterday I decided that I would try one of the sketches that  I see all the time for the challenges some of you talented people do.  I tried one and I liked the idea of putting it all together and putting my touch on it although someone else came up with the layout, it was just the inspiration I needed for todays card.

When doing these sketches it is all up to you what paper, or embellishments you use or even what way you want to go with the card, not necessarily doing it just like the sketch, but using bits and pieces of ideas the sketch layout has.  I will try a few more of these and see how or what I come up with...I will admit..it was fun. If you find yourself in a rut and can't find inspiration then look up one of these sketches and see what you can do to make it your creation (with help)!

I would love to hear from you all about your ways of finding inspiration for your cards.
