Every time a magazine or website appeals to me, I clip out photos and ideas and pop them into a big binder. I keep it handy so it’s easy to file things and the clippings don’t pile up. It is, quite literally, my brain food. That, an a good cup of coffee, and I am ready to get creative.

Make your own Ideas Binder:

1. Buy the largest binder (about 2″ will do) as well as clear pockets from your local office supply store.
2. Use tabs to mark sections, like: Home, paper, embroidery, color combos, and others areas of interest.
3. Start cutting images from all the magazines you receive in the mail, then move onto sites with good ideas.

In no time your biunder will be bulging with great references you can use!

Until tomorrow~Sarah
