For a while now, I've been sitting on my wedding webpage project due to lack of inspiration. Usually I'm motivated to design a webpage immediately when I'm inspired by a layout, pictures, whatever. But I've been having a hard time coming up with some ideas for my Alice in Wonderland inspired page because there is SOOO much you can do with it. I finally came up with a couple of ideas that I thought would be suitable for my wedding, but I hit a wall when thinking about what images to use, how to get these images, if I should photoshop them myself, etc. Not only that, I'm trying to design the webpage in flash and it's my first time doing a flash webpage (other than soundboards)! I didn't give myself as much time as I thought I would need because I thought I would figure something out in time, but I'd like to have the site launched by the time I send out the invitations (which is very soon!). So unfortunately my page might not be as cool as I see it in my head at its initial launch, but hopefully I'll have time to go in and make small tweaks before anyone knows the difference :)

Anyway, as I was struggling to find the right pictures/clipart to use for my project, I stumbled across this site called Polyvore.

Polyvore lets you mix and match images from anywhere on the web, to create outfits, interior designs, or any kind of collage.

Wow! It's like looking into the minds of other people and seeing what they consider to be related to whatever theme or topic I'm interested in. I considered it to be like making idea boards using clips of pictures from the web rather than a magazine. I love what people come up with!

I think it's a great resource when brainstorming ideas, especially for a wedding!
