I love seeing what makes other people's mind tick ... so please join me for this fun, easy activity ...
Email me here with the 5 top things or layouts that you have saved to inspire you for a future layout ... I will compile and put them up and we can all be inspired. If you don't mind ... a little blurb why that particular item called out to you ... For me ... these are what appealed to me - (sorry I don't have all the credits for the creator - I just save the image and stick it into my inspiration file) ...

This layout was featured in Creating Keepsakes Oct 2006 issue ... it appealed to me coz I've never done a layout like this with my family ... so many issues lols, basicly too hard and yeah.. maybe one day * grins *

My gorgeous nephew Hamish turned 2 recently .. love the colours in here.. they just all WORK... not done a nice simple layout like this esp with a boy * grins * ... yup yup... I sure have enough Die cut alphabet chipboards around the place... a few too many indeed (I can hear the lovely Ms.M chuckling at me) ...

When I saw Heidi Swapp's jeans I thought ... YES!!! I have so many jeans which would really look good embellished this way ... * grins * .. just gotta go get that Fabric paint :)) ...

Layout by: Ali Edwards ... always said I'd like to try securing the embellishments using OHP transparencies and the trustly sewing machine :) plus the BOLD statement background colour ...

From Jan 2009 Creating Keepsakes issue ... love miniature embellishments - esp ones that you make from scrap leftovers, sprinkle on some embellishments you've hoarded for years and voila! a present in the making all the year through ... ready to be bagged up and given as a gift when called upon .. hand made originals.. no 2 the same :))
Can't wait to see what moves you, email me here ... we will learn so much ... warm hugs... lizzieS xxx
1st response to my question: From Ali-Dale - Wokings, Canada - my girlfriend from way back .. smiles... mIRC days .. what? 1989? * smiles * who stayed with us for dunno 2 -3 months .. can't remember ... lols
===============
In Black and White ... Because NOT everything is so... (Lizzie - Specific Collection)
The box of 'hook' Q-Tips with a flowered sticky note on it filled from the very left corner to the very bottom right ...
The last pearl/gold earring I have left; of the two I recieved from a special day ... I multiplied it. They become the earrings I would wear ... when I just needed that something there ... Job Interviews, My Children's Birthdays ... A special night out when I was feeling extra dumpy ... People used to tell me I was 'overdressed' ... Likely because I was run'n around town, near the zero temps with a pair of boxers on and the most beautiful pair of pearl earrings... I lost one ... searched forever, still watch the ground near where I thought I lost it in hopes to find it one day ... I believe if its meant to come back it will. :-) I still wear the other one, with oddball others ... now with has become my near norm ... and no ones going to tell me EVERYTHING has to fuck'n match to balance again! :-)
The "Too Sexy for The Farm" T-Shirt I only handed down this year... to Wokings (the town we live) favourite farmer. (Fer real, he lives on the very edge of town and when yer downwind ... well those are the days he's the favorite) LOL
The Australian Coins I still had in my pocket when I come home because I didn't have to spend them.
The whistle I bought at the market one of the days you took me shopping (probably because I needed something air-conditioned ...) ... its been missing since I moved from the flat Kali-Rain and I had shortly after she was born ... Caught my chain on a cupboard handle ... only discovering some of the pieces caught in my shirt hours later ... the only charm missing (of the little glass circle thingie that held pieces of gold I bought in Kalgoorlie with Raelene... a crucifix, half a heart that read 'best friends' from a lady I met 20 years ago (my children call her Auntie) ... and my whistle.
P.S. I would also like to add things that are not materialistic ... But maybe I could express that with a scrapbook someday... would be interesting to have your input towards some of my 'arts' some day ... I am Jack of all Trades... Master of None :-)
Sincerely,
Ali-Dale aka wishin - Canada
Lizzie's note: I remember that 9ct gold whistle - it was a very slim gold tubular whistle .. an unusual one, haven't seen on like it since :( .. we bought it at the jewellery Store: Solid Gold -Whitfords City Shopping Centre ... and Wishin .. I still wear pearls .. * warm smiles *
Thank you for responding hon .. hugs.. lizzieS xxx
