Inspiration...

Do you ever find that there are just some blogs that continually inspire you? I have not been crafting of late again, but I have been finding a few snippets of inspiration. I went through my starred items in Google Reader this morning and thought I'd share what inspires me lately...

Jana Eubank is one of the bloggers whose work I often LOVE. She was one of the SPS designers and I could always find inspiration from her layouts for my kits if I was stuck! This layout I LOVE! It inspires me to play with my die cut paper and do some fussy cutting!

Allie Edwards, queen of simplicity. She ties in more digital elements than I would, but I have a 12x12 black and white baby photo of Eliana that I love and I'm thinking this would be a perfect layout to mimic with it. I love it!

Danielle Flanders is another blogger whose work I love. I have pulled so much inspiration from her blog, especially from her cards! I think this is such a fun layout, though... I love the stitching, and the hopping stars. It's just so cute!
The Prima blog always has beautiful work from their designers. I'm a HUGE fan of Prima products, so I love to see what everyone does with them! I particularly LOOOVE this layout by Jaime Warren. It just makes me want to pull out my patterned papers and start playing with texture and layering!

Anilu Magliore's work first caught my eye when I fell in love with her jewelry designs. She has inspired some of my own favorite pieces and I started following her blog. Then, I watched her get into digiscrapping and it has been fun to see her great eye for design carry over there, too! I'm not a digiscrapper, but I really like this layout. I think as a sketch there's a lot you can do with it!

Jana Eubank again. Love this layout. Love the stars. Love the buttons. Love the twine on the photo. I pretty much love everything about it.

A lot of what I find on the Hambly blog is a little too funky for my tastes. I love their products, though, and I'm glad I follow the blog because occasionally jewels like these come through! I don't know who Kerry Lynn is, but I LOVE the Old School layout. I have old photos. I have lace. And now I have inspiration...

Danielle Flanders again. I am not so much a Halloween person, though I do like the cute things you can make for the holiday. I am thinking, however, that these would make adorable Christmas goodies! I'm tucking that inspiration away in my head for winter...

Is this not the most precious baby album you've ever seen? I absolutely adore it. I love all the detail, its monochromatic beauty. It is so soft, so precious, just like a newborn! I found this gem on the Melissa Francis blog, which I follow just so I can see beautiful stuff like this! The designer was Kileigh Wirth. As a side note, Danielle Flanders designs for this blog, too, which is probably how I found it...

Like I said, not much for Halloween as a holiday, but I love this card! And I have that stamp set. So I might just have to make a few of these cuties! Melissa Phillips' blog is another place I've gotten lots of inspiration over the last couple years. Cute stuff abounds over there!

Again with the hybrid scrappery, I LOVE this layout. It's so fun, so fresh, so artsy. It makes me want to play. CD Muckosky does some really fun stuff.

Lauren Hagerman is someone I "met" on 2peas and then started following her blog. She had a subscription to SPS, too, so that was another connection we had. Recently she posted this project on her blog, and I'd really like to do the same thing one of these days. I love how simple hers is, and yet includes a ton of details. I want to do this.

Danielle Flanders again. I just think this layout is beautiful. Stunning. Gorgeous. It inspires me in so many ways.

So there you have it. A little of what inspires me these days. Now if I could only sit down and scrap for a bit and actually put this inspiration to use!
