finding color inspiration

there is no doubt... sometimes we creative types just get stuck.  ideas are not flowing, we're stuck staring at our computer screen, or our scrapbook page, our canvas... what to do?  It's inevitable i think, that this will happen & I've found that it's just best to step away & try to immerse myself with lots of inspiration.  I thought I'd share just a few places today that I've found that help me get out of that slump...

pinterest website

seriously... if you've not been here you've got to sign up.  all kinds of visual candy.  homes, design, colors, anything you can think of!  it's so good!  I've found so many links to other inspiring websites that I'd never heard of... like the image below, I found on pinterest & it led me to the inspired bride site & all the color palette ideas they have there... again WOW!

inspired bride website

I mean, I'm obviously not planning a wedding right now, so I probably never would have found this site otherwise.  They have tons of amazing color palettes there. 

So there you have it, just a few places I've found my inspiration lately... I have a whole stack of ideas saved in my inspiration folder now from surfing around both sites.  I've been taking tons of screen shots... it's a great way to remember the great ideas you've seen.

have a great {inspired} Tuesday everyone :)

be nice or leave...

yep. that's how I'm feelin' today!  love my kiddos, but sometimes I wish they could be those angelic children that don't fight with each other... share kindly, are respectful....  so what do I do? make up a print of course! available soon in my etsy shop!

oh well. sometimes. the summer boredoms are catching up with us I believe.  just a thought. 

have a happy friday :)

new original artwork

just wanted to update you all on some new things in my etsy shop... these original mixed media works on canvas!  i love these so much & they've spent a while in my studio area {you know, my dining room} before i decided i could part with them...  there will definitely be more of these coming in the near future!  each one has a painted textured background & then i've hand lettered & hand cut each word from cardstock to apply them to the canvas.  i hope you'll really love them too :)

all you need is love

smile

good things...

for those that know me... you know I'm one of those glass half full type of girls, yes an optimist at heart.  I like to think everything will always work out & be ok.  One of my favorite things to do is collect quotes... happy quotes, meaningful things, things that ring true to my life.  I've been trying to create more things that really mean something to me {with the hopes they will mean something to others as well}.  so here are some things that are new over at my etsy shop... I promise more is coming up soon!

life is good print
