Organizing your ideas: What is your stategy?

I came across this photo and I thought, this is well be a great question for the group.

Seeing that we already know that inspiration is everywhere, how do you organize all your ideas from the things you see in magazines, blogs, scrapbook idea books to use them later?
with all the money we spend on magazines and idea books to give us inspiration, how do you store and use the info you get out of them?
Post in the comment box you ideas

The color of flowers




The mojo is flowing - thanks inspirational wednesday!


I bought these at Trader Joe's



Which then inspired the LO above.

I finally got a chance to use the Q&co felt ribbon and the PP is Stemma - I am so feeling them right now....

Don't you just love Gerber daisies!!!


We R Memory Makers, Raw Goods, and my 2 cents!

Hey you all.. since working with our Local Scrapbook Store I have been busy doing a lot of paper stuff!! I can't wait to finish my clipboard too!!

This is the second time I've used these Raw Goods by We R Memory Makers Raw Goods.. I even used their new line of paper, Precious Metal Line. And some of their new rub ons too.

Here's a few from the 4x6 album I used:I also finished a 3x3 album, which was fun and easy too:
And so what did I think of We R Memory Maker's new line of Raw Goods and Paper line?
Well (Adrienne) it ain't no Maya Road, that's for sure.. but it was nice and sturdy.. I did LOVE LOVE the fact that even the 3x3's had page protectors! LOVE THAT! I don't mind doing the modge podge.. but I always get a bit nervous when applying that stuff... But with page protectors I know they will stay safe! The 4x6 album.. very nice.. I do like that it is a little bigger! I am a big journaler here, so I need some room to write my stuff. I have to say.. I did NOT like the fact that they say 4x6 size.. and the pages are a bit bigger than that.. So it was hard to cut your 12x12 paper evenly and cut them out into 6 even shapes.. you'd have left over scrap.


But I did like the fact it was double sided. The deigns are gorgeous! The rub ons... are beautiful, they stuck with the metal theme.. so you got a silver trimmed one, gold, or brass... My only complaint on the rub ons (Cause I'm a big Rub-On) fan.. is they were hard to rub on. And working with something shimmery like silver or gold.. you can see where it did not quite stick well. Not the best rub ons, I guess once you've rubbed with American Crafts, you get a bit spoiled!

But overall, I love chipboard.. Naked ones is a must.. And this new line, I predict will do well! Give it a try!!! My next project, is some BE chipboard, I have the Princess Castle and some Making Memories Glitter, can you imagine the possibilities!!

WE R

My red and teal layout. I absolutely adore this color combo. So fun. Can be winter or summer.

This layout was inspired by the CoCo Chanel quote on the layout under the pic.
I hope to instill in her what my mother "tried" to instill in me...lol

Layout designed for Noel Mignon.

and since we are on fashion and i saw some MAC lipstick. I thought I would share a few more

This is a card I made for a blogger friend who loves vintage.
This is the patteren of freindship stamp set (retired Stampin' Up!)and all i did was stamp the image on the card then i stamped the image again on patterened paper and cut the dress out and adhered it to the card. So cute and so easy.

This next layout is a mod podge of pure mess...it's funky but so not me. i think I went a little to far outside my box but it was fun none the less to just slap some paint around adhere some photos, emboss some stuff and just make a pure mess!

My love of MAC makeup will come through in this layout: make sure you search for the pics now...lol that is MY ver own personal collection of just the eyeshadows. We will not go there on the rest!
