A Chain Reaction

I love being inspired by others. There is an abundance of creativity and talent in this small, yet not-so-small community of scrapbookers and it's refreshing to see how others approach a subject matter, photograph an event, or use a color scheme. Sometimes a quick browse online or through a magazine launches me in the direction I need to go with a layout.

Not only do I love being inspired by others, but it's pretty cool to think that they may have been inspired by someone else when they created their layout ... like a chain reaction. Last Friday, my Pocket Chick Pick was on the Fancy Pants blog, showcasing Tracie Hudson, who posted her layout on the FP Facebook wall. Her layout totally inspired me and I created a layout based on her design. Here's a little peek...

I was inspired by her and she was inspired by a sketch on the Pencil Lines blog. Pretty cool, huh? A chain reaction. So, what/who inspires you? Maybe you'll start a chain reaction too!
