Default Looking for Inspiration, HELP please

Ever had one of the days when you actually get some free time to spend stamping and when you sit down your mind just goes blank. I thought this morning would be a great time to get a couple of Mother's Day cards made but as I said nothing comes to mind. I have checked some sites and do not feel inspired by anything I see. Could it just be a bad day or my mind is just all used up?

Where do you find your inspiration from? I am looking for some "new" ideas.
HELP please.

Oh Debbie...you are not alone! I have many days like that where I feel like I could sit and create for hours but once I'm at my space nothing comes to me. If that's the case I will usually step away from my area and either hop on the computer or look through a magazine for inspiration. It stinks when our 'mojo' isn't flowing the way we want! Don't give up!!

I doubt your mind is "used up" Debbie...

One thing I do is look through magazines & books (like the Take Ten, Stamp It! Cards, Cards magazine, & others) with some mini post-it page flags and mark all the cards I like and/or would like to CASE. Then later when I sit down to stamp, I pull out the book/mag and flip to a marked page... feels like instant inspiration.

Sorry if this idea isn't new... it's just something that works for me when I have "stamper's block".
