The Blog

Inspiration is an interesting thing. Dictionary.com defines inspiration as the action or power of moving the intellect or emotions. So what’s the difference between being inspired and just using someone else’s ideas? I guess that’s open to interpretation, but I just find it so interesting that 2 people can be inspired by the same thing and each come up with something totally different. And how different people can be inspired in so many different ways. It makes me appreciate the diversity in the people around me. Without inspiration and diversity, wouldn’t things like art and music be boring?
What inspires you? What moves your intellect or emotions so much that it drives you to create, to cook, to draw, paint, sing? Everything in this world around you can be inspiration, if you take the time to look.
Let this week’s Friday Five inspire you to create something beautiful. Make your mark and enjoy!

I’m fascinated by old photos. I always wonder how the people in the photos felt, how they lived, what their story was. These are some of tinkerbell’s favorite family photos, and she puts them all together in a whimsical and very colorful compilation.

I really like staciemay’s creative photos. She took photos she had previously altered and placed them in Scrapblog. Then she added elements to them. Her Scrapblog is just an example of how creative you can be. I love the sophistication the monochromatic tones give this blog, also.

This pirate party looked like such a blast! What is it about dressing up and being someone else for a day that appeals to us so? I love her great photo cropping and use of stickers to make this one awesome Scrapblog. Arrrr!

Clean, simple layouts really just set off swen’s photos so well. Nature’s beauty takes over as the inspiration for this Scrapblog, and how can this natural beauty not inspire you to get out and do some traveling of your own? Maybe I’m a bit biased, travelogues are one of my fave types of Scrapblog…
