Sponsor Giveaways: Digital Scrapbook Memories, The Vintage Pearl, & Blueberry Freckles

A lot of blogs out there are inspiring me. I have been blog surfing and adding TONS to my Google Reader. I truly enjoy reading about other peoples lives and knowing that I share concerns, thoughts & struggles with others.

I get my inspiration from my students coming back to school after being on workexperience for 3 weeks. I love to see how they have grown and are becoming an adult a little more each day.
How ever hard it sometimes is to be a teacher at a community collage, this makes my day…..
Love your blog Ali!

I'm in a Pro Scrap League hosted by Club Scrap http://www.clubscrapcommunity.com/news/proscrapbookersleague and that has been inspiring me to try new things I wouldn't normally do. Using stamps on scrapbook pages. Incorporating stencils and beads. Definitely challenging me out of my box.
Oh, I love the Chris, Ali, Simon, Anna necklace. How wonderful.

I am taking Elsie Flannigan's and Rachel Denbow's class and it is so inspiring! Lots of pretty bright colors!

www.studiocalico.com has definately been inspiring me - such an amazing group of women who are so supportive and encouraging (and not just about scrapbooking) such amazing service and wonderful products.

My daughter easily is my biggest inspiration. I'm working to complete a scrapbook on her first year (she's only 15 months).

Definitely inspired by the One Pretty Thing blog... she compiles all sorts of crafty ideas for every type of crafter. Definitely worth a look!

I'm inspired by the blog The Shabby Nest. Her decorating ideas just thrill me!!! I want to redo everything in my house after reading her blog!!! =D

Now more than ever, just looking through my camera lens at my daughters has given me all the inspiration I could ask for.

Lately I've been inspired by digital scrappers. I'm just delving into it, and I love it.

i've been inspired by magazines and blogs lately...i'm inspired by own photos. i love looking through and reliving the memories and moments with my family. i love walking through stores and seeing the colors and spring things arriving. i'm looking forward to a spring trip. i'm inspired by conversations with my husband and children.

I've been home with a sick child this week...so some DOWN TIME is inspiring me! Sitting still just doesn't happen often enough---I wish you many quiet moments with Anna. :)

Wow what great giveaways.
My children inspire me to be a better mother, to take better care of myself so that I will be there for them for a long time and to make healthy choices for my family.

This is incredible. Your blog always inspires me. Your projects are always incredible. Something else that inspires me is Tim Holtz. Oh my gosh...he just makes me want to grunge everything!!!!
Thanks again for the opportunity to win such wonderful gifts and congrats on your beautiful little Anna.

The hints that Spring will soon be here is inspiring me. It's such a time of rebirth and new beginnings. Soon we'll have warm sunny walks around the neighborhood, fresh farm grown food from local farmers and the sound of the pond and of birds coming through the windows. That is what is inspiring (and exciting) me!

I am currently inspired by the colors and fabrics I'm using to create a haven for my two little girls. One not yet here but soon to arrive. The fabrics are filled with tiny red roses and blue polka dots, red and white polka dots, red gingham and shabby florals with the reds and blues. I have been crazy sewing quilts and bumper pads, burp clothes and cute coordinating outfits for the girls. The fabrics have also inspired paper crafts and altered crafts to match. I never knew a stack of fabric could inspire so much!

Oddly perhaps, what has inspired me lately is giving away 80% of my scrapbooking materials. They were bought at a time when I wasn't certain exactly what my scrapping style was...and they moved on to a woman who I'm certain will find inspiration in them. There is a lightness of heart in less.

What great prizes!!! What is inspiring me right now is the two beautiful grand- daughters that I am so lucky to be able to watch for 11 hours a day! One just turned 2 and the other just turned 3. So I have a lot of inspiration!!!!
Thanks for a chance to win!

family is providing most of my inspiration lately

Hmmm, I do not think there is a link to "life". Life is inspiring me. For the first time in 30 years I find myself unemployed and I am just taking the time to live. Spending time with my husband and son, renewing old friendships, cooking, baking, cleaning, organizing, taking time for myself - life is an inspiration. When I chose my word for 2009 - Inspiration - I never dreamed where my life was headed!

I have been in such a creative funk lately, that is hard to tell what is inspiring me. I have been not doing anything creative but something happening in my spirit that is awakening my creative side, I think it is the coming of spring and the longer day light hours. thank you for doing these give aways.

My two kids inspire me each and everyday. They keep me moving in the right direction in my life.

I am inspired by spring. I love the newness of everything. I love the warmer weather. I love the beautiful sunrises and sunsets. I love the color that comes out at this time of year, after all the whiteness of snow.

I am taking a class over on www.bigpicturescrapbook.com and I love it. I thought it would only be information but it has made me get moving and explore new layout ideas.
Have a blessed day!

My daughter is inspiring me TODAY and every day ~ so many appointments, dr. visits, uncertainty ~ yet we always drive home with smiles. Now THAT's inspiring!
