Marie– Who/What inspires you Creatively? Where do you go/look for inspiration?

I find inspiration in my tools and creative products; sorting through papers and sorting embellishments back into their place motivates me with their shapes, textures, colors and motifs. There’s nothing better than to see a wall of pretty ribbon or a mug full of colorful markers to get your creative juices going, it also helps to remind me what I have available to create with!

I also keep visual journals filled with magazine clippings, sketches, color swatches, fun sayings and any odd ephemera that I find interesting. No rules, no worries, just a visual mind dump of images I like. These always prove to be a great inspiration if I am stuck on a direction or theme for a project.
