Where do you get your inspiration?

(The inside of this card has a strip of dotted paper that shows through behind the men cutouts.  On this strip I stamped the words "Happy Birthday" in such a way that it is hidden behind their shoulders.)

Do you have a hard time coming up with ideas when you have to make a card - especially for a man?  That's what I was facing this week.  I wanted to make a nice card for my Dad's birthday, but just wasn't coming up with anything.

I find that there are some websites and bulletin boards that I turn to quite a bit when facing that sort of challenge.  In this case, I went to UKScrappers.  I LOVE this site - especially the CraftRobo SILHOUETTE section of the forum where I can find free patterns to cut on my Silhouette machine.  There are such talented and generous people on that site!  This card was cut with a pattern from Winnie Hua that I found there.  Are there websites you turn to for inspiration?  What are they?
