If you're like me you blog
surf. A lot.
And what with the advent of
Pinterest, well, we have sooo much more to look at, right?
And even though there are
thousands upon thousands of blogs, I find myself going back to a chosen few
because frankly my brain desires them.
It's like my eyes crave
them.
These blogs are not only
filled with creative ideas, photos, and stories they have gorgeous colors!
Yes, colors!!
I love feasting my eyes on
colorful photographs.
So today I will share with
you what I crave and what I consider to be the ultimate in eye candy :)
Enjoy:
First up is a fairly
new to me site.
I love her site, because not
only is it SUPER informative, but the crafts are just so cute!! She is a
director for Stampin' Up and I just love all the creative ways she has to make
that everyday card extraordinary!
And she even provides
tutorials on how to make these with downloadable instructions! Fun, fun, fun :)
Getting my email
subscription from Inking Idaho always puts a smile on my face :)
I even downloaded the entire
Stampin' Up catalog so I could look at it and all the beautiful colors and
projects on there. I could order everything!! (but won't, don't worry hubby ;))
I warn you that her blog is
addictive. Peruse it at your own risk.

Next up is one of my most
favorite blogs for party ideas:

Then there's Isabella and Max. This is one of the first design
blogs I have began to follow, and let me tell ya, it is chock full of
inspiration!

Now for my daily dose of inspiration and a reminder to enjoy the
simple things in life I go here:
Kelle Hampton is a terrific blogger, writer, photographer and mom
of two darling little girls, one of whom happens to have Down Syndrome. Her
everyday stories inspire millions around the world to take the time to
"stop and smell the roses" :)
She has even written a new book (and I can' wait to get it)
Here's a small sampling of her work:

I think little Nella is adorable.

And last but certainly not
least is one of the first blogs I began to follow.
I love her graphic
designs, her fonts, her style, well, just about everything Emily does is
beautiful.
See for yourself!

This last one is one of the
many free printables Emily so graciously offers her blog readers. This past
holiday season she even had several printables to give away almost every day of
the week!
So here you have it. Some of
the places I love to go for inspiration and colorful stimulation.
I hope you enjoyed your eye
candy :)
