Inspiration


Need some fresh inspiration for your February mini sampler? I think these are lovely. The first one is my favorite. They arePam Garrison's "mini sampler stitched bits".

Looking at these inspiration pieces, I am reminded of something that I want to work on this year with my samplers.
I tend to over-think the placement of elements on a collage- whether it's a card, tag, mini sampler or whatever I might be making. The result is often a "tidy" look, (like a scrapbook layout) which is not the spontaneous look that I would like to achieve. Haphazard placement and irregular bits can add so much interest.

Hi Linda,
I love the inspiration. I too love the look of bits and bobs scattered here and there.
Did you enjoy your buttons? There were so you.

How pretty these are! I know exactly what you mean about the tidiness Linda...I want to work on that too. Loosen things up a little. Thanks for these great examples.

These are fabulous and I truly adore them. I, too, am the tidy layout type as that is how I learned to create. The haphazard wonky look is not easy for me to achieve. Good luck to us both...
