Getting Inspired

10/22/10


I have to say that getting inspired is difficult at times.  Being able to create unique & awesome graphics takes time & research of the current market & trends.  When I am in slump of non-creativeness I always turn to these fantastic inspiring blogs to get my design juices flowing.




For packaging or graphic design inspiration, I always turn to the dieline for unique, innovative, or just plain cool packaging & graphic applications.  They showcase student artwork, corporate artwork, & art pieces that have won awards for their brilliant design.


Design Sponge is a great source for getting crafty, having an urge to redecorate, or just browsing around & seeing what other people have done to their spaces.  I LOVE checking into this blog daily for decorating ideas for my own home.  I really like how followers upload their own DIY projects and share before & after pictures of their almost always successful more modern project.

I find it so inspiring to see others "before" & "after" DIY projects, like the old granny chairs above to be transformed into modern & chic matching lounge chairs.  Sooooo brilliant to take something old & make it new & now.

For my beauty & fashion fix, I check out Chic Profile for the latest trends in the fashion & beauty world. This blog is so up to date with the latest trends & newest cosmetic finds, limited editions, & early previews to what we can expect to see at our local department stores.

Here are some of the newest beauty trends to hit the market this Holiday 2010.

I bought Cody his very first Halloween costume that ACTUALLY fit him perfectly.  I mean he's such a huge black lab & can hardly fit into any crazy doggie clothes I try to squeeze him in.  Boy did he enjoy wearing this funny get up.  Since Brent & I gave him so much attention while wearing it, he bucked like a bronco & ran around the backyard as if he were in an actual corral.  Made my day.  Sookie, our other little mixed terrier, you are next to play dress-up for Halloween!
