You know how you see an awesome craft idea and bookmark it on your computer it so you can come back to it later? And you end up with a bazillion bookmarks and never look back through them? Well, I started printing pictures of my favorite craft projects and tutorials that I want to try someday ;). I print them out, cut out the individual pictures, and put them into my Inspiration Books.
A few things I would do differently if I were starting this project from the beginning.
1. I would use a 3 ring binder so that I could add pages when I needed to
2. I would make sections for each holiday and then categories like pillows, bags, aprons, etc.
3. I would definitely make note of where I found each project! I started my inspiration books before I began blogging so did not realize I would want/need to give credit for the inspiration or pattern used. This is something I have definitely begun to keep track of!
Now I'm off to find my pattern for cute book covers to hide thisugly plain green notebook!

That is such a great idea. I've tried various inspiration files through the years, but never really kept them up. The best I did was having a file that I stuffed various pages in that I ripped out of magazines. It's nice to see one that is being used successfully.
ReplyDeleteGreat idea! I have so many bookmarks on my computer! Thanks for visiting and leaving sweet comments!

What an excellent idea! I will have to try that. Better than what I do, print things out, leave them in a big pile and then forget why I printed them out in the first place LOL..
ReplyDeleteThat's a super idea! I think I need to give this a try. Thanks for visiting my blog...I'm a new follower.
ReplyDeleteThis is an idea I can use. I love it! Thanks for sharing it with us :D I just bought a brand new three ring binder because it was so cute, and I was wondering what to do with it.
ReplyDeleteThat makes a lot of sense. Like you I bookmark on the computer then never go back. Later, I think, where was that photo or tutorial? If you used a 3-ring binder then you could categorize them as well according to subject. Nice!
ReplyDeleteGreat Idea! Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteThis is such a good idea! I keep a list...but it would be easier if I kept pictures!
ReplyDeleteI do this with magazine articles, but never thought about printing out ideas I find on the internet. I usually bookmark it in my favorites and then I forget. This is a great idea.

ReplyDeleteI do the same thing...bookmark ideas or save images on my computer with the name of the site where I found it. But I rarely go back and look at my bookmarks or images. This is a great idea! I should do this.
