I hope my blog is a source of inspiration for you.  That’s why I do it.  I enjoy what I am doing and hope that my enjoyment comes through and inspires you. 

When I create, the designs have to be my own, so I sit down with the products I want to use and let the inspiration come.  Now, don’t be fooled … this process can take DAYS for one 12 x 12 page!  The inspiration usually comes and most of the time I am thrilled with the results.  There are times in my life when I need inspiration, too. 

One of these times was January 1, 2007 … I needed to design my Possibilities! class and had three hours to do it in!  Because of the tumor scare and hearing loss testing with my oldest, I had postponed designing the class and to be honest, I was NOT in the mood to create!  HALLELUJAH!  here comes PageMaps to the rescue!  A friend of mine (Tamara) told me to check it out and see if it would help me and it did.  I used two PageMaps as inspiration for the bliss and the right side of the happiness page.

I am a Becky Fleck PageMaps fan!  I don’t know why I like Becky Fleck’s sketches better than others, maybe it’s because I’m a rule breaker (not the important ones). But, as soon as I’m told I HAVE to do something … that is now the absolutely LAST thing on earth I want to do (like put a photo in one exact spot).  With Becky Fleck’s PageMaps, I feel free to alter it and make it "my own".

I emailed Becky and thanked her for saving me and she asked me if I would ever like to contribute to her newsletter.  I told her I’d like to repay her and would definitely be willing to do it!  A few weeks ago, she let me know she’d like me to contribute to her April newsletter.  I was thrilled that I could do something for her!  She sent me an 81/2 x 11 landscape sketch (her newest sketches).  Here is Becky’s sketch and my version of it:

I feel like I’m letting you in on a {big SECRET}!  I hope you can find inspiration from me and and now from … Becky Fleck!  Thanks for your support  *A*
