My inspiration from the world around me comes from every day things I see. As I mentioned in a Scrapvillage posting in March I see scrapbooking in everything I do – it could be a sign on a street, a tablecloth in a restaurant or a pattern on a shirt. Right now I have a Target ad sitting on my scrap table just waiting to be copied as a LO idea and my new spring kitchen towels are the perfect background for a little girl LO.

This morning my daughter came downstairs wearing this shirt and I instantly thought …. what a great idea for a scrapbook layout. The shirt is pink with a pink logo on it full of many textures and colors. I copied the colors and used the for my background paper and my heart. The buttons, flowers and hearts add great color to the shirt which I mimicked the decorated heart with brads and flowers. So my challenge for you is to find a piece of clothing that inspires a scrapbooking idea in you, post the clothing item with so we can see your inspiration. Open those closet doors and start hunting for great ideas!

LOVE heart t-shirt

Happy Scrapping!
