Hello friends!
You may remember a horrifying photo shown last Friday of my messy craft table. Now, as you scroll down and look at these new horrifying photos, I just want to admit that I did clean my desk. Really I did! On Sunday! But alas, I started a new project and it quickly turned into this scary sight.
This is my favorite paper cutter, it is always a main tool on my table. A Tonic Guillotine cutter. I love it!
What project has messed up my work area, you ask? Well, a Halloween paper bag album. It's been awhile since I've made a mini book using paper bags, but I really enjoy it! It's so fun! This is the cover so far. None of it is glued down yet, so that I can continue to rearrange things until I am happy.
For inspiration I turned to this 2009 October issue of Somerset Studio.
I love flipping through Somerset magazines to get my crafty mojo started!
I also turn to my Halloween album from last year to get inspiration.
I love being able to see techniques that I forgot I had used!
It helps to renew my creativity!
Blogs are also a must when I need a creative pick me up to get inspiration!
How do you get inspired?
Have a lovely day, Lindsey

Your table doesn't look that bad to me...you should see mine right now! Just finishing a big project & it's a wreck up there! Oh, well...!
I love reaching for Somerset when I need inspiration, too--always works!
Love your Halloween projects--perfect! I need to get mine going, too!
Wishing you a wonderful night, my friends!

My craft table is clean... I would rather have a messy one if I could create such beauty like you! Have a blessed day dear Lindsey, HUGS!
Oh! It's a pumpkin snowman! How cute! I cleaned off my craft table after your messy table post so ! guess I was "inspired" by you! :)
A pile of crafting supplies can never look horrible! Just proves that you are having loads of fun. I love making paper bag albums. Yours is turning out great. Hope your day is fabulous. Best wishes, Tammy
I Think it looks like a table chock full of inspiration..lol Love your little book!!!
What's that saying about a messy [craft room] is the sign of a creative mind? ;)
Come see the accordion book on my blog that I made! Happy Autumn!
In Sweden we said that a messy workplace is a creative brain. A clean workplace is an empty brain. So creative YES clean desk NO. Love the card :O)
Hey, you're crafty..dshould we expect yp to be neat too? I think not :-) Darling cards!
and should you expect me to type well? Ah..no :-)
I had a good chuckle when I saw your table. Last night I was in a flurry to get a blog post done and my table looked just like that, only worse! Things were falling off onto the floor!
Thanks for commenting on my blog and joining me as a follower! I just joined you and look forward to reading more.
What I say is that a messy art table makes for a happy crafter - crafting. Good place to be.
Joy!

Wow! Look at those pages! I don't scrap book, but love layers on my cards and your pages look fantastic! I love to sit and look at all the elements people use on a project! Eye candy for me without the calories!
