Inspire Me

Finally Friday! I'm so excited for the weekend- it's going to be a hot one!

Here are a few pages from my most recent book...






I'm always ripping up magazines and cutting out pictures. I find it to be not only extremely relaxing, but super inspirational. I can't even count how many notebooks and sketchbooks I have full of random pictures. I've been doing this since I was 11, so it's fun to look back and see how my tastes have changed. These days I also find amazing pictures on the web, but there's something thats just so cool about having tangible pictures on glossy paper...I used to not touch my Harper's Bazaar and Vogue because I wanted to keep them, but they started taking over my room, so I finally made the reluctant decision to go through them and take out my favourite pics. I have also always had this thing about paint chips! I can't pass them without grabbing a few fun colours. I don't know why this is, but I now have a shoebox overflowing with them! You'd be surprised how often they've come in handy! What inspires you? I know a few people who make these random books too...do you? 
Have a fun friday everyone!
