How do YOU get started?

I'm wondering how everyone gets started. Where do you get your wonderful ideas? Do you start with photos? Fonts? Brushes? A general theme?


Just curious

I either start with the photos and then pick a kit, or want to work with a kit and then select the photos. Keep in mind that I have my photos already sorted and placed on a white canvas so that I can quickly grab them to complete the layouts. Makes it so easy to do a layout in a short period of time.

I think that I normally start with the photo and go from there. Knowing what I want to say about the photo helps me pick the papers and elements.

Hmmm....If I'm doing a page for a DT or CT assignment, I usually start with the kit and then find the photos. If I'm scrapping for myself, I start with the photos. Sometimes I find a kit I really love and then go from there.

I usually start with the photos and then go find kits and ideas to go with it.

I usually start either with a photo first and then find a kit and goodies or start with a kit and find photos and other goodies to go with it. Templates and sketches are a good starting place too. When I use those I pick the photos first and then the kit.

I usually start with photo then make a kit I want to use (or have to use for CT stuff) work for it. I find seasonal pages to be the hardest though...for those I have to search for a photo to go with a kit.
