Inspirational Thursdays

It's official...I'm addicted to Pinterest. I don't know how it happened. I always tend to hold off on the new "it" thing of the moment and I managed to hold off on Pinterest. But alas...I have succumb to the power that is unlimited inspiration. But no complaints. I LOVE Pinterest. To have everything that inspires me or ideas for my home in one place is great! So if you haven't already, head on over to Pinterest. You can follow me at ~TheLifeofMe~ but even if you don't you're sure to get inspired!

I think it's pretty obvious now that I'm more of a card maker than scrapbooker. I love hand made cards. So I was super happy when I found 4th of July cards for today's inspiration. I found these cards on the Silhouette blog, but they come from Samantha at http://www.taylorstamped.blogspot.com./ She made the stars using fabric! Sigh...I wish I had a Silhouette. But what's even more awesome is that they are going to some very deserving men and women in our military. So, are you inspired...?

Cricut DIY Wedding Class

 Today's inspiration is perfect for the season and for people like me who are getting married (click the link under the photo to get to the Cricut page)! I LOVE my Cricut. You can do so much with it and it an immense help when it comes to making projects in multiples. Which is perfect when you want to add that special touch to your special day. I know that I'll be using some of these techniques for my wedding day.

I missed Inspirational Thursdays last week...so I'll just get right to it this week. These come thanks to my sis-in-law who sent me a great link. These spring wreaths are all from EcoDiva.

Since spring is officially here (at least in the DC Metro area) these are great additions to your front door. They are sure to liven up any neighborhood. So...are you inspired?

Today's inspiration comes from Erin at Beauty and the Beach. Erin has a tutorial on how to make these simple and beautiful jars. I love the simplicity of them. And they can be used in any kind of decor. So check out Erin's blog and try making some of your own! Are you inspired?

Sigh...is this not one of the most beautiful, functional craft rooms. I'm so jealous. Jenn from Clean & Scentsible is the lucky crafter who gets to use this space. I love seeing other crafters spaces because they give me so many ideas for my own space, which I am still trying to piece together.

Today's inspiration is a little bit self-serving. MemoryWorks just released its Spring/Summer 2011 catalog! The pages of this season's catalog are sure to get you inspired. Personally speaking, there are very few things that haven't made it onto my personal wish list. So, if you have some time, browse through the catalog and get inspired to create something beautiful. If you are interested in ordering anything, please email me at sashasbooks@ymail.com.

Today's inspiration is coming from Funkymom Cards. You may have seen Funkymom Cards before on Spotlight Fridays and I just had to highlight her again because I LOVE all the creations that Leasa comes up with! Check out her spring tags below:

Are these not the most adorable tags you've seen?! I love them because they just scream "Spring". The colors are bright and sunny and are perfect for this time of year (even though in the DC Metro area it's been in the 40s).

Today's picture for Inspirational Thursday is my own personal inspiration. I hope that it inspires others. I am so happy with this picture. I made this for a client of mine. I created this picture using Adobe Photoshop Elements, got it printed on canvas, and framed it. I absolutely LOVE the way it turned out. I've never even tried to make something like this before and I was a little nervous about how it would turn out. It inspires me because I proved to myself that I am capable of more than I think I am.
