Where do you get your ideas/inspiration? Classy Coordinates Sketch a Day Club, PaperCrafts magazine, 

Favorite Tool and why? A tie between my Cricut and my Cuttlebug -- I can create various alphbets & shapes to use as coordinating embellishments on my pages

What are your future scrapbooking aspirations/goals? To be able to COMPLETE an album within 2 months, to move beyond my current comfort level of scrapbooking and teach more people of color about preserving memories/heritage through photography AND journaling.
