How To Come Up With a Unique Idea for a Project, Decor, Anything!...

So how do you get inspiration to do something 'different' or a little unique?  

Here's a plan that works for me...

1.  Consider what theme you're after.  

For the sake of this example/post - I was thinking 'Valentine'.

2. Look around and see what you have in that color scheme.  i.e. 'red'

    I spied these buckles and the red one stood out to me.

3. Play a game with yourself and decide you HAVE to use that item

 (or items) in your 'project'.

  I tho't a ribbon through the buckle might look nice.

4. Find items to make it work that also go with your theme and

 color scheme.

    Brown paper - no matter that it was wrinkled - 

seemed like a good fit.

5.  Something WILL develop - I promise!
I'm liking my little Valentine gift wrapped & staged package!    

Happy Creating!  

Let me know what you come up with.  ~Joyce
