Paper'08 #16 and Category Stories

Tell me, what is inspiring you this week?
Where do you draw your inspiration? What helps you get in the mood to make or do something? What do you see, or hear, or taste, or touch, or smell that makes you think?

That's the new operation at Elises Paper'08 challenge!

Great idea, cause there are so many things we get inspiration from, it's a good thing to put them in writing! I used the normal stuff, Bazzill, Provo Craft papers, flower, button, my new sawingmachine!!!!! and I found that cute little bird stamp last Saturday and just had to have it!


Next is Category Stories, they came up with a new challenge yesterday and I got to scrap now, who knows how much time I've got left once I start my new job!!
Anyway, the new challenge, here's what they say on the blog!
SHOES - what are they to you? Do you love wearing them, loathe shopping for them, or fall over in pure bliss when you find that most fab pair of sliver ballet flats with the cute leather detailing and buckle on the side.......(ok, um, that last one may have just been me...*ha*)

Yes I know, as always a detailed picture, but I like them so much!!


Honestly, I don't have that much going on with shoes, it is that I have to have them, but being thrilled to shop for shoes...... no way! Don't even have that many but I desperately need new ones...... so I'm afraid I have to shop..... And because I don't like shoe shopping, sometimes stupid things happen, like what this layout is about....

Photobucket

I totally stepped out of my comfort zone here, went freestyle like I've never done before, I like it, but have to get used to it I think.... although it was done pretty fast!

Very old Doodlebug papers are used for this one, I guess these are the first scrapbook papers I've ever bought. (yes, I know, I keep everything!)

But going through all those old papers, I thought this was a nice combination! The idea for the layout came this morning when I saw some inspiration on a yahoogroup I'm a member of Dutch Freestyle group I did not completely lift it, stayed a bit on the save site, but it's a start!

Thanks for stopping by and have a great day!
