Where do you get your inspiration when you’re stuck?  Do you have a file of layouts you reference?  Do you have a bunch bookmarked at a certain website?  Do you flip through magazines?  Do you use templates or sketches to jump start your creativity?

Personally, I do a little bit of all of the above.  If I use something for inspiration, though, my finished product never ends up looking very similar to the original!  Something about making things my own.  Here’s some work from our very own Kenner Road Flikr gallery…. do any of these layouts inspire you?

1. Berry Picking, 2. KR Sweet Love, 3. haley’s mom, 4. Hero Book Eight, 5. roadtripFULL, 6. Liberté °Kenner Road°, 7. muddy island, 8. YOU, 9. how she loves her scooter

The layout, Sweet Love (top row, middle), inspired the layout below.  It uses some older Kenner Road goodies; however, I saw Sweet Love and was comfortably inspired.  We don’t always have to challenge ourselves to get out of our comfort zone – sometimes being right in it isn’t necessarily a bad thing!  :)
