Have any of you heard of this awesome website? I discovered it the other day and I've been amazed by it ever since! Anytime you see a picture, any where on the web, that you like, you can right click on it and add it to your bookmarks on this website. Here's a link to my Vi.sualize bookmarks (http://vi.sualize.us/alyson/) page and to their homepage (http://vi.sualize.us/). You can tag the pictures for easier reference in the future. You can also look through other peoples images by selecting a tag...and a really popular tag is typography. I have found so many great ideas already through this site.

I found a bunch of cool images depicting the Dem. and Rep. National convention speeches using awesome typography. You can see several examples of these on my bookmarks (linked above), but I really like the colors on this one:

So I used it as inspiration for this page (http://forum.digitalscrapbookmemories.com/album.php?albumid=25&pictureid=1366):

If any of you have Vi.sualize pages already, or start a page, I would love the link so we can share images for inspiration. Feel free to add my images to your own pages if you feel inspired to. :D

*Note* There have been a few instances when I clicked on the homepage, and a nude picture was there. You can mark these as unsafe and they will block out the picture...if enough people mark them unsafe, it will be blocked out for everyone. Just a heads up that you may want to stick to people's bookmark pages that you know.

Alyson, that's so cool! I LOVE the page you made from the inspiration.

Thanks Kelly!! I'm glad I'm not the only one on in the middle of the night...I know it's not actually the middle of the night for you though. ;)

Alyson you are so cool. I Love that page! I'm going to check out that website too. Thanks!

[cjoy2day]

OK here is mine. Now I have to add some photo's http://vi.sualize.us/cjoy2day/

Alyson, how do I add you as a friend?

[Kim Hansen]

Yay! I've added you both to my watchlist, and I got two e-mails that you guys added me. You two are the first people I'm watching.

Paula, that picture called "Just shoes and rain" is so cool! I saw it a few days ago, but I guess I didn't really look at it until today. I'm glad it was in your favorites.

Kim, thanks. :D

I got one now too! hehe, here is mine. http://vi.sualize.us/profile/crystalrae87/that's a pretty cool idea.

[kmsarles]

I didn't make a page, but I got inspired. Thanks for sharing this!

Aaahhhhh!! I just found out that the inspiration image I posted above can be made for you on http://wordle.net. I went there to give it a try and it's so cool! You can change the font, color, layout, etc... I'm not really upset that I made mine by hand, because the hardest part was thinking of all the words, and I was able to add a picture, but I thought you all would like to check out this cool site also. :D

What a GREAT thread! I LOVE your scrapbook page Alyson. You are amazing! Thanks for all the great ideas. I'm off to check out wordle next for sure.

Kelly, your page is beautiful too. Very creative.

Here is a wordle I quickly did by cutting and pasting all my most recent blog entries into the program. This is fun Alyson.

[chryslergreen]

I was just about to say... has anyone heard of wordle.com? But you beat me to it :) I haven't had a chance to play yet but it looks so fun. I LOVE your page Alyson.

I joined and it is awesome. This sure is a lot easier than saving pictures and ideas to my computer and then trying to remember where I saved them to when I need some inspiration.
my page is
http://vi.sualize.us/principessa/

I have had problems being able to get pictures from the albums here to save into vi.sualize.us any suggestions?

[Alyson]

I noticed that if I click on a thumbnail in an album I get a pop-up saying it may be too small. I have to open the actual page. Also, I tried to put a couple of Jamie's layouts in my inspiration gallery, and they show up gray since her gallery is private. I can still click on the picture and it links me here to view it, but it doesn't show up there.
