I love good quotes! When I was in Jr. High, I used to sit in the schools library and fill note books with scores and scores of inspirational quotes!

Now most of my favorite quotes can be found on 12×12  scrapbook sheets. Meant to be used in a layout, but I hang on to them because I like the quotes! Other places I gain inspiration from are little books I have acquired here and there from library book shops, garage sales, poetry books and of course main stream book stores.

“Art is Poetry with out words” ~Horace

“Nobody who can read is successful in cleaning out the attic.”

“A true friend walks in when the rest of the world walks out”I use my quotes on tags, cards and on layouts either as the title or part of the journaling.

“We do not remember days, we remember moments” ~Casare Pavese

Most of my favorite quotes are about art…..

“A painting is never finished-it simply stops in interesting places.” ~ Paul Gardner

“A room hung with pictures is a room hung with thoughts” – Sir Joshua Reynolds

I don’t paint things, I paint the difference between things” - Henri-Emile-Benoit Matisse

But you can see how they play  a part in  scrapbooking too!

Scrapbooking is ART!  Don’t you agree?

“The job of the artist is always to deepen the mystery.” – Francis Bacon

I have in the past complied favorite quotes into a altered journal for varies silent auction events.  I love doing things like that. Because when people discover a great quote, it re inspires them to live a better life.

You can find a 994,000 + some quotes on line, just type Inspirational Quotes into your search engine. One site that will come up that I keep on hand for reference is Hearts and Minds. They have a vast variety of themes to choose from for all your needs. Great for cards and tags too…don’t forget!

“Your children will become what you are; so be what you want them to be” -David Bly

“No one can make you feel inferior with out your consent” - Elenore Roosevelt

Another site, made especially for scrapbook  pages is here.

“A good friend shops with you for scrap supplies.
A true friend helps you hide your stash when you get home.”

“A true scrapbook addict is one who stages photographs to match paper she likes”

“You know your are scrapbook addict if you buy more paper than shoes!”

I hope I’ve inspired you to look on your book shelf, in your paper stash or on-line for some inspirational quotes to use in your paper crafting!

Have a good one?

Feel free to share it here!
