Quilled Christmas Tree (Inspiration)

Hello everyone....thanks for stopping by today.

I have a question for my quilling followers....where do you get your inspiration for quilling designs?

I get a lot of  inspiration from other quillers which is what I love about our community. Most of us are not afraid to share our designs probably because it is really hard to duplicate a quilling piece exactly even if you have made it yourself. And that is the beauty of quilling...just like flowers and snowflakes....no two are alike. I also get inspiration from books and kits but also from my travels in every day life.

A few weeks ago I was waiting in-line at Starbucks...for my grande, extra hot, non fat chai tea latte (because I don't drink coffee)...and saw an image on their sign of a Christmas tree made from 3 graduated circles which is on the bottom left hand corner of the image below. Of course I thought.....I could quill that.

So here it is

Next time I think I would have the stem of the tree attached to the circles....
Have a great day

"Have yourself a merry little Christmas"

Good morning everyone
do you ever struggle with what words to put on your cards? I certainly do...you can only come up with so many witty sayings. So..... one thing I like to fall back on is using sayings or verses from songs or even the title works too...(like for this Christmas tree card). You can get oodles of sayings out of one song.  

...which makes me think I should do a series of cards using the verses of an entire song and add quilling to match the verse. Hmmmmmm might just have to try it out.....NEXT YEAR though as I am still knee deep in quilling nativities.

Thanks for stopping by my blog....it is really appreciated.
Cheryl
