If you've been scrapbooking for long, you've experienced the frustration that occurs when you realize all of your pages are starting to look alike!  I feel this frustration a lot, and when I do, I turn to other designers for inspiration.

I try not to take much inspiration from other scrapbookers, because it's too easy to start to copy someone.  When I need an idea for a layout, or a new technique, I often turn to graphic design.

My favorite source of inspiration is David Carson.  If you're stuck in a design rut, I highly recommend that you purchase one of his books and bury yourself in it for hours!  Here are some photographs I took of one of his books which sits on our bookshelf in the living room.
