One lucky reader will receive Yume Design's LIVE, LAUGH, LOVE hand-stamped necklace. Three pendants in varying sizes are hand-stamped and embellished with a simple pink bead charm hanging from an 18" sterling silver bead ball chain necklace. This prize is valued at $44.
Artist Diana Egusa started metal stamping simply as a grounding, creative outlet to balance her life in the hectic corporate world. After friends and family took notice of her creative designs and started requesting custom pieces for themselves, Diana discovered that her casual hobby had quickly turned into a successful fledgling business.
Yume Design features personalized hand-stamped sterling silver jewelry. Diana works with her clients' inspirations to create custom, unique pieces; each creation is one-of-a kind, made with high-quality, heavy gauge, 100% Sterling Silver to withstand everyday use.

I am inspired by my niece lately. She is a wonderful mom to 11 month old Grace, she works part-time, is taking a cake decorating 101 class just to learn something different, is passionate about saving money and has a wonderful, supportive marriage. A long way from a troubled time as a teen. She makes me smile.

I've been inspired lately by just looking back through some of my older albums. Seeing them has made me remember why I scrapbook and it motivates me to get those new memories down on paper.

WOW Ali..what an awesome giveaway...
I recently "lost" some photos off of a cd...they're gone for good and I am now inspired to go through all of my memory-keeping processes and make sure that never happens again! In doing so, I am seeing old treasures of photograhps in a new light... inspired into a new perspective!
thanks

I am inspired by 8.5x11 white textured cardstock lately! There's something so freeing in knowing the possibilities are endless. Pretty basic, I know. :-)

The fact that summer vacation is running out is truly inspiring me. I am a school secretary and while I cherish every moment I can spend with my children during the break, my scrabooks still call to me. I am anxiously awaiting all the new goodies coming out as well and I have plans for many of the new product lines.

I am really inspired by Extreme Home Makeover. They are currently in my town doing a house and it is amazing how a crew of people can come to town and not only change a family, but a town! Seeing all the people volunteer and work together is so awesome! It really does send chills up and down your spine!

I have found inspiration around every corner it seems. There have been the BPS classes I've taken, the Jessica Sprague classes and chat site, and the online thinking inking tutorials to name a few. That's the wonderful part of this hobby. Everyone, everywhere is so willing to share skills and inspire others.

I was blessed to be able to go to Women of Faith last night in Indianapolis... I was inspired by Steven Curtis Chapman and his message of hope despite is grief over his little girl, and his yearning to live in every moment of his 5 children here on earth, to capture those moments in his music.. My life moments are captured in photos and words.. and I need to write more..

My new house is inspiring me. I look out the windows and the views and colors are so vastly differently from what I am used to. It is opening up an whole new color palette for me. I can't wait to start painting and decorating it.

I am inspired by the simple things in life. A good bottle of wine with an interesting label, listening to children giggle and talk ( I LOVE when they are about 2 and all words are new), and nature, with its every changing ways. It is amazing how a flower or tree can look different at different parts of a day! This really inspires my color choices. And don't you just love to look at ads, book jackets or fabric...ooohhh so delicious with all the colors! Great give aways Ali!

Right now I'm being inspired by our holiday in Austria that we just got back from - I have so many photos of gorgeous buildings in Vienna and stunning mountain scenery in the Tyrol, plus some really cute shots of my kids in full walking gear, that I can't wait to scrap - I have an album-ful of ideas in my head!

This is sort of superficial, but I've been inspired by my new macro lens. I am feeling newly energized to take pictures just for the sake of playing and experimenting and that feels so good!

I love the illustrations in children's books. I do not have a favorite one; there are too many. But I love to go to the library or bookstore and look through the books on the shelves for creative inspiration.

I'm inspired by my neighbors. They all have a different creative talent and I love that they share them!
