Holy Moly! And I thought life couldn't get any better with all the gorgeous hew G45 paper and the Staples collection... these stamps are AMAZING! And OMG the paper, the paper!!! {out of breath} My inspiration starts with an object, such as a plain wooden box. The possibilities of altering it is endless and the G45 papers make creating so FUN and easy because the papers in itself help me build on my ideas and creativity. Thank you G45 for everything you do!!! :-)

[Mary Sanchez]

Just when I thought Graphic 45 was beyond amazing you went above and beyond giving us even more to create with! My inspiration comes from everything around me and experiences in my daily life. Creativity is in my soul, and with all of the gorgeous products Graphic 45 provides, my soul is able to thrive! Thank you Graphic 45 for giving me gorgeous outlets for my creativity and allowing my soul to shine!

[Ginger Hollner]

My inspiration truly depends on the day. Today is was beeswax, stamps, and paint. Some days its a feeling whether it be happiness, anger, sadness etc. Other days its just an item or a song, or a person. I pull inspiration from everywhere and everyone.

[Donna]

My inspiration comes from all things vintage. Sometimes if I have a block I will go to a vintage store or flea market and find inpiration. Graphic 45 papers brings out amazing inspiration for me! Finnding certain treasures can bring it out also.
Now those stamps, could give many days, night of creative goodness!

[Natalie Torres]

My family and my boyfriend inspire me as well as my friends. Thanks for the chance!

[Ilene Tell]

For scrapbooking, my inspiration usually comes either from the photograph or from the product I want to use, be it a really cool embellishment that I then build the page around, or the (glorious) pp :) Thanks for the chance to win, your stamps look outstanding...as is everything you make!

[Tara C]

It's hard to say where my inspiration comes from... my best work seems to stem from projects I come up with late at night after a long week at work and I just need to relax & I'm laying in bed and it just come to me. Crazy--huh?

[Jennifer]

My inspiration comes from my son and anything vintagy. Robby is an amazing gothic kid and he takes truly gorgeous photos. He has a weird sense of humor and a kind heart. He likes horror movies and cartoons. He likes Titanic and Rambo. He sings, programs computers and composes his own music. He's 15 now and when he was 13 he had a heart attack. He's better now that he is home schooled but the home schooling has not stopped him from his amazing talents. Oh and he's an illusionist also. lol

Yep. Robby is definitely my inspiration. :)

[Rhonda V.]

I love love LOVE all of your new partnership goodies, oh my!

For cardmaking... my inspiration can come from a line which pushes me to certain photos or memories. Scrapbooking, typically I am first inspired by my photos, then I just can't stop!
