who here on scs is your biggest Inspiration.
I think for me it is kitty747. I know there are so many to chose from. I get so much inspiration from this site alone, I never really have to look anywhere else.
So thanks scs for this site and for bringing us all the inspiration we need to buy more stamps from SU to continue making this the number 1 website for Su stamp ideas.

Too many people to mention. Just going by what's in my gallery right now though, JulieHRR and StarofMay have had the biggest influence.

I can't say just one!
I'd have to say NiteStamper, Markies' Mom, Cyndi Haffner (sp?) and LauraLy. I don't have just one and have left a TON of people off. These are just the first few that popped into my head.
My list is long and I often PM or e-mail stampers who inspire me since I feel sometimes comments don't truly let them know how I feel about them and their work.

I can't come up with one individual either, here are so many. If I see a card I love, I save to my faves, then case if occasion arises. Then I PM the person so they know they inspired me. One day that will happen back to me and what a thrill it will be!
I know I have cased stampinwithsilvia, lauraly, and others. Certainly not the 'big names' necessarily.

everyone. it maybe something as simple as a technique, a color, a layout, often the challenges, but every member of SCS that posts has offered something to me. so for me it is the entire melting pot. i think i tend to gravitate towards a style or color, not just necessarily the artist. it's the whole board,baby, the whole board!

When I am stuck for an idea I check what's new in the Color Challenges and JeanneS gallery.
Then I know I will walk away inspired and ready to stamp!

Since I first began browsing the SCS gallery, my paper crafting style and the types of projects I make has changed dramatically. It was only after seeing many beautiful cards using a myriad of techniques and tools that I became comfortable trying some of them out. Two years ago if you'd told me I'd be using Prismacolours and OMS I would have said you were nutso!
These days, I think I turn to
1) stargirl's gallery for inspiration, because that girl is bold, fearless and extremely talented! She can do anything!
2) Mona Lisa's blog for inspiration, because she makes such beautiful cards using product lines I love and shop from. She has and shares so much knowledge, I always learn a new way of doing something from her!
3) the SCS gallery uploaders! The gallery is full of so many wonderful creations and I've learned so much from everyone who's shared! All y'all's inky fingers have reached into my crafting room and influenced and inspired me!

Pugs99 and Carrie3118. Their ATCs and inchies are what I aspire too, but don't think I will ever be able to accomplish!

I am always looking at Sharon Johnson's gallery - aka - notimetostamp. It's filled with drop dead gorgeous creations.

SophieLaFontaine is a true artist. I will never have her talent for drawing and coloring, but her style and aesthetic inspire me.
Also, the many people who always take the time to comment on gallery uploads are a HUGE inspiration. Thank you!

I've been inspired by so many people I couldn't possibly name them all!
But the one person that encourages me to "expand" myself would have to be JulieHRR. Partly because her style is so different than mine, but also because she's so helpful, perky, and supportive.
She's kinda like Rachel Ray of the stampin' world - JMHO

Starofmay's stuff is so breathtaking! I think my gallery is going to end up with a bunch of copies of her cards! I'm so new, though, that I'm pretty much inspired by everyone. Every card I made this morning was a CASE from someone here!

Like so many ladies before me, I tend to browse the galleries and look more closely at those creations that catch my eye. There are certainly some cards, just from looking at them, that I know who created them from their style and colour and even stamp sets. I think the most important thing is to appreciate those that give us inspiration and acknowledge them accordingly, as they inspire us. Whether I CASE a card or just use a card to inspire me because of the colours, stamps or sketches, I try to acknowledge the original artist. That's why one of my New Year's Resolutions (not that I normally have any - lol!!!) is to cruise the galleries more regularly and to make sure I acknowledge my favourite creations each week in the favourites thread.
What a truly wonderful site this is!!!!!!

Right at the moment, ok it's been a long moment, Taylor inspires me with her wonderful use of textures, colors, embellishments. Her work is very comforting and wonderful to receive :mrgreen:
Check out her gallery

There are so many outstanding artists on SCS that it's hard to choose. If I was forced to pick just one, it would have to be Michelle Zindorf. Her work is breathtaking. My other favorites are Lauraly, Kittie747, Duckwaddlequack and Flaxy Chick. Their work is exquisite and they really inspire me.

Many... from the ones here that post hundreds of beautiful creations, to the lesser quantity (note, I said quantity, not quality, LOL :rolleyes: } crafters like myself.... I find inspiration everywhere here.
One name that comes to mind, though, is Zindorf. I just love her take on things...

Markie's Mom, without a doubt. I can't even come close to her beautiful work but she has inspired me to layer more and use my background stamps and flourishes. I think her work is stunning!
But, with that said, I think all of the people on this website do amazing work and have gotten inspiration from many -- too many to list. This is an amazing group of stampers!

The first card I saw in the galleries using the cuttlebug was jojot - and it remains my favorite even now - it is a Christmas card made of white and cranberry (colors, not nec. the correct product names) with cuttlebug snowflakes and some snowflake brads - SIMPLY GORGEOUS. I was so new tp the site when I discovered it, I tried to favorite it and couldn't get it to work so just added the entire addy to my system faves and a cuttlebug was my Christmas gift to myself...Many others have inspired me as well, but that one card touches something in me that resonates...here is the link: SC119 Snowflakes by jojot at Splitcoaststampers

Yep, me too. I just subscribed to her blog -- and it's because of her that I just ordered a Scor-Pal.

I have to say Markie's Mom. Her beautiful cards have inspired me to try more layering and embellishments. I also like Jan Tink. She has great tutorials and she's a real hoot.

Mel, you shocked me speechless and gave me heart palpatations! I haven't even been on here but a few times in the past six months, and I innocently clicked into this thread to see what people were saying, and there was my name! NEVER, in a million years, did I expect that-nearly fell out of my chair! Thanks-YOU MADE MY DAY!

Wow, THANKS! I read your comment out loud to DH and he pretended to suffocate (because my swelled head was taking up all the oxygen).
I get inspiration from Markie's Mom, Mothermark, NoTimeToStamp, Krabearkub, Sweet Miss Daisy, and a lot of other people whose usernames I don't remember (but I remember their cards).
