The Inspiration Challenge

I've always loved the people who can take magazine clippings, glue them all over their walls and it all look so lovely. I've always wanted to be brave enough to try it.

I've been stock piling photos, old maps, quotes... for years and didn't know how to display them.

I've been on places like Pinterest and collected numerous lovely pictures, clippings that I wish I could see more often. Photos and "things" that inspire me.

I've wanted to do something with all the adorable scrap-booking embellishments my siblings bought me.

I've always wanted to join one of those contests where you showcase projects you have created due to internet inspiration.

Well, today all my dreams melded together and came true. :)

May I introduce the ultra easy, just add glue, eclectic's inspiration board?

I took an old picture (one of those pictures that are printed directly onto the wood back.) The picture itself, had too many paint scrapes to enjoy. So, armed with a sander, and a vacuum cleaner :) I removed the old picture and left a clean canvas.

With a stack of photos, maps... my little trinkets, and a can of spray adhesive (BTW, I LOVE spray adhesive.:) I  concocted this.

I like it. : )

Have some craft projects that you've been inspired to complete recently? Do you have a list of craft projects you would like to complete in the near future? Join me this week as I delve into turning some of that internet inspiration to usable, enjoyable items. I'll be trekking along with Eyebright from Defective Compositions, as she hosts this lovely party.



Let the crafting begin! :)

Fine Print: Images used on my project are not mine, all rights go to the creators of them. I in no way would want to take away from these creators their rightful credit, this is not a piece of art, or something I will be selling, it is a temporary inspiration board, and the photo elements are filling the same purpose as magazine clippings would. Also note that if I said anything unusual in the post, understand it is very, very early in the morning and I cannot sleep. Perhaps I'll find something else I can glue...
