What’s Old Is New… Inspiration

Hump Day is even better when your favorite TLP goodies are 50% off, right?  Have you checked out today’s Something Old, Something New section?  You must.  I was looking around the gallery to see if I could get re-inspired by some new layouts made with some older products…. and naturally, I did.   I was just as googly eyed at the pages with all the brand new treats!  Here’s what eased my eyes into a love relationship with SOSN this week….

Hopefully you’ve been inspired by Something Old in a new way or Something New in an old way.  Whatever the case… go get your scrap on!

I’m a creative who pulls inspiration from all corners of life—both the joyful highs and the real-life moments that punch you in the gut. Honestly, I don’t think I can pin down a single scrapbooking style for myself, so let’s just go with eclectic. My layouts really depend on my mindset. If I’m in a deep, cerebral mood, you’ll likely see something chaotic and messy. If I’m more relaxed, it tends to come out clean, simple, and structured.

My brain is usually running on several channels at once, so it’s completely normal for me to be working on a digital layout, dabbling in a hybrid project, and getting messy with art journaling or mixed media—all at the same time.

Here are a few of my go-to tools: Digital: Adobe Photoshop CC + my MacBook; Photos: Canon Rebel or iPhone; Hybrid: Cricut Joy + sewing machine; Art Journaling: watercolors, stencils, and artsticks

And when it comes to embellishments—digital or physical—I’m always reaching for messy threads, ribbons, and Polaroids. Always the Polaroids.
