Inspiration is Everywhere online Crop

I find most of my inspiration from music. My favorite band right now is MUSE. If you are playing along with my bonus challenge you'll be listening to them right now!

So for a RAK from me which includes Zutter Bind-It-All goodies showcase your favorite band/musician right now.

I saw MUSE in April and it was the one of the best concerts I have been to - they were brilliant! I made this mini album to hold my cell photos and to have a record of all the songs they played that night. I also added my tickets inside. The pages are in order of the playlist that night and for extra photos I went to the bands website and used some photos of the band.

Those Patio Lanterns

I decided to give my patio lanterns some crafty love. Head on over to the Kiki Art blog to see more.
