Hi everyone, thanks for checking me out on D*S guest blog. I’m so excited about sharing my finds and inspirations with you.

So before my boutique picture taking and still today I collect boutique images from other sources like Lucky Magazine and tape them into my scrapbooks. As you can see I have several. Along with pictures I love keeping business cards from some of my favorite boutiques, the cute and pretty ones are like little souvenirs, especially when I don’t have a chance to actually buy something.

as a fellow “taper” and business card collector i can’t wait to see what else you post ….
wow! what beautiful inspiration notebooks! I’ve not been updating mine lately like I should (large pile of clippings and just haven’t taken the time to paste them in…), but you’ve inspired me to get back into the habit! :)
Oh my goodness! I recognize so many of those images from Lucky because I’ve collected so many of them too! I love the section of the magazine where they cover shops from all over the country and the world because the photos are always so great! Great to see you on D*S by the way. I love your blog!
I would love some feedback – how do y’all attach your pictures in the books? Modge podge, glue stick, tape – what is the best way to maintain the pictures integrity. Also, what types of books do you use? I love this post!
Susan, I really like Coccoina glue sticks (you can find them at seejanework.com). They’re non-toxic and they smell great! As far as books, I find that plain black sketch books from Barnes & Noble work just fine.
I love it & enjoy doing this as well, and like to collect fabric swatches as well as tearings! I always enjoy getting sneak peeks into the sketch & scrap books of others & these are so lovely and filled with so much inspiration!!
Susan, I use regular old glue sticks in the jumbo size.
Hi Susan
This is probably not the best suggestion archival-wise, but I use double-stick tape to keep my clippings in place. Like, Melissa said I go to B&N and Borders for my sketchbooks, or you can try your local art store.
I believe that I will be scrapbooking for now on, I have way too much stuff in my studio. This is inspiration!

Great idea and something I hadn’t appreciated before: how others have presented their work. Thanks for sharing–am enjoying your posts this week.
I love your colorful business card collection (and your blog), Andrea! I have a bunch of fun cards and ephemera stuffed in a box but needing a new home. Does anybody have a suggestion for a way to display/organize them that’s not permanent and won’t ruin them?
I do this too for inspration for my blog and fashion/beauty addiction!
Hi!
Anyone know where i can find modern cool binders or scrapbooks?
thanks!
