Creative Websites

Getting some inspiration to get creative can be as close as your computer. The things you discover online can really spark your imagination.

April Atwater from Sweet Life in the Valley reveals her three picks for creative websites.


1. Tastebook.com

There is a new kind of cookbook called a Tastebook. It’s a beautiful hardback cookbook that you create yourself. You can organize, store, and keep all your favorite recipes in your own personal book. It’s really easy to do. It only takes minutes! You design the cover. You add the recipes. You make it your own.

Visit www.tastebook.com for more information.

2. Spoonflower.com

If you love fabric, this is the website for you.

• Spoonflower lets you print fabric from designs you upload to your own account on the web site.

• All your designs are private unless you choose to make them public. Spoonflower will never sell, print, or share your designs without your permission.

• There is no minimum fabric order and no set-up fee. You can order a swatch for $5, a fat quarter for $11, or multiple yards at $18 each. Registration is free.
