CRAFTING TIP OF THE WEEK (#63) Stumped for Ideas/Creativity Block?

Hello!

Ever get stumped for ideas on layouts & cards?

Sure there are lots of crafting magazines around but you can also find inspiration elsewhere. These days not everyone can afford to purchase the magazines or simply want to use their money to buy scrap goodies.

Marketing & advertising firms pay millions to put together ads that are eye popping to the public and that just make you want to buy. Why not use those ads and simply replace their graphics, art, sentiments, messages & pictures with our own creative input?
No need to reinvent the wheel here. If you receive magazine subscriptions or even sale circulars in the mail you can totally get inspired. You can also go to your local library and browse their magazines all the while jotting down ideas & making sketches of ads that appeal to you.
Use a binder to keep sketches or clippings of those ads that catch your eye and mimic the look using your embellishments, photos and handwriting.
Inspiration is all around us.
Have a great week!
