Welcome all! I’m glad you’re joining me today for another Friday field trip.
This week’s destination is a bit out of the ordinary, but it’s one of my favorites!
We’re going shopping for inspiration…
… and we’re headed to places like Hobby Lobby, Michael’s, Dollar Tree, Home Goods, Pier One, Pottery Barn—anywhere there is color!
We won’t spend a penny.
First stop is the gift bags aisle with the scrapbook paper section not far behind.
Like a color combo? Snap a picture!
Next are the pillows and fancy gift boxes.
And then… the office supplies section.
I can’t wait for just the right time to use these!
Having fun yet? Confused yet?
Sometimes wherever you are is where you’ll find the best color inspiration for a party, wedding, or bridal shower … or living room, bedroom or kitchen! You just have to think outside of the box.
Sometimes wherever I am is where I find the best inspiration for blog graphics!
Recognize any of these backgrounds from the top collage?
Hint: This one started out yellow, grey and white.
Don’t forget that furniture might inspire, too. This picture is of a little cabinet from Hobby Lobby—plus the addition of “questions, comments, and concerns”.
I use this on my Contact Me page. Click to see it in action!
Of course, there’s always the written word to inspire…

Surely I’m not alone. Who else out there gets design inspiration without spending a penny?
Do any of you bloggers use my tricks? Leave a comment and leave a link to one of your graphics! We’ll all hop over for a visit. 🙂

What a great idea to get inspiration from wherever there is color! Love this.
You had me at Hobby Lobby. 🙂
Thanks for the inspiration today!

Definitely! I always get inspiration at Hobby Lobby, but I confess I probably leave just a teensy bit of my money there, too.
