She changed the way I scrapbook (and organize!).
I love Stacy Julian from Simple Scrapbooks and Big Picture Scrapbooking. Simple Scrapbooks is by far my favorite scrapbook magazine, and I’ve had subscriptions to 3 of them so far. Stacy’s book and her philosophy literally changed the way I scrapbook. I don’t worry about being caught up anymore (really!) because unless I quit my job and scrapbook 80 hours a week I never will be caught up. It’s more about the story and the moments that I record now. I’m so much happier with the way I create my pages now. If you haven’t read her book, The Big Picture, run and buy it now. It’s worth every penny!
Because of Stacy, I’ve changed the way my scrap space is organized too. I used to have things arranged in those plastic Plano type “tackle boxes” from Walmart with the little divided sections. I did have them sorted by color, but now I have switched to drawers. Each drawer is designated a different color. I don’t know why, it just seems easier to pull open the drawer and see what I have. I’m constantly forgetting supplies that I have because I don’t see them, and I know I’m not the only scrapbooker that does that!
So, who inspires YOU? I think I could do a blog entry every day for a month on all the people who inspire me, “famous” scrappers and not. But I’m always looking for new inspiration and a new way of looking at things, so leave me a comment if you know someone inspiring and cool I should check out!

For me, Ali Edwards really really does. She is all about just doing it. Go with the flow, go with what you like, and not about reinventing the wheel every time around. Do the pages for you, and your family. I LOVE her style too. SOOO wish my stuff was like hers..
Also like Donna Downey, but for the opposite reason because she gets you to try different things, and kinda take your scrapbooking and apply it to other things in your life..like decorating your house, thinking outside the box.
Brenda Carpenter – shes a design team member from Scrap-room.com and also now is a design team member for the Love Elsie stuff.. Her stuff rocks!!! love her use of color.. http://twopeasinabucket.kaboose.com/userprofile.asp?user_id=35125
Karen Russell and Tara Whitney for their photography and capturing the every day moments
[...] for it. But I’m thrilled with this one. I separated every color into its own drawer (see previous post about Stacy Julian) and labeled them so all I have to do is yank it open and be inspired. Thanks, [...]
