Where do you get your inspiration from?

November30

We all get inspiration for our layouts in many different ways.

We can be inspired by magazines, sketches, photos even by the emotions we feel when we look at a photo and remember that particular moment the photo was taken.

The other day I was looking through some old craft magazines and found some old fee patterns for embroidery and that is what inspired me to do this layout.

I always keep these old patterns for well just in case!

You can use the templates to make your own felt or material flowers or maybe sculpey birds.

Just let your imagination go wild think outside the square.

This is the pattern I found that inspired my layout.

            

The products used in this layout
