Where do you get your inspiration from?

The question about where I get my inspiration from is the commonest question I think that I have been asked since becoming a demonstrator two years ago.
Well my inspiration comes from just about everywhere, The most obvious being the ideas book & catalogue that is produced by Stampin' up & that is where the inspiration for todays cards has comes from page 66 in the catalogue.

I always look at what my fellow demonstrators are doing & often use their cards or projects for a starting point for my own projects & always share where the inspiration comes from.
Colour inspiration comes from the colour coach tool which is always out on my work desk. Other colour combinations come from magazines of all types especially home & garden magazines, Photo's I have taken. Nature is very good for finding colour combinations that work well & are always changing like the seasons, so they provide a constantly changing colour palette.
I think one of the strangest places for inspiration for colour combinations are DIY stores when they have wallpaper & paint samples.
