Question of the week: Where do you get your inspiration to scrapbook or make cards?

Where do you get your inspiration to scrapbook or make cards? In other words, what inspires you to create?

A lot of my ideas are scraplifts or variations of LO's I see online or in idea books. Many from TSR.

for scrapbooking - i'm an idea book junkie!!! i buy them all :)
i also use sketches a lot - www.pagemaps.com is my favorite site and i tend to use all the sketches that come out for each month.
for cardmaking - i usually just sit and create with my scraps and stamps, so i guess the inspiration comes from having to make a card (to send/give) or sending it in for the submission deadline at Take Ten!!

I'm with Heidi, complete idea book, magazine, online gallery junkie. Love seeing what other people do and draw ideas from that. As for cards ... usually I just play around with some stamps until something works.

i like to sketch ads from magazines and turn them into layouts.

i use sketches too- with pagemaps being a favorite.

i also turn layout sketches into cards.

I love idea books... the funny thing is that I often end up with a totally different page/card. But it definitely gets me "unstuck".

Every now and then I will see an add or an interesting mailing, and think - this will be a great card!!!

Other people's pages and cards are always really good inspiration for me too.

I scraplift a lot. It is just so much easier because it takes me forever to come up with original ideas.

Cards are easier, I scraplift some but I usually just come up with something on my own.

I usually browse the internet for ideas...sometimes a scraplift, sometimes a sketch, sometimes my own design.
