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

It's actually going to be a very inspiring 50 degrees here this weekend, which is soooo welcome after our very cold winter and record snowfall. I've got tulips on my desktop wallpaper and silk ones in a vase--soon I'll be able to see my own growing outside a window!

I have been inspired by the Voluntary Simplicity movement. I want to live a life not surrounded by meaningless goods, but by the few objects that truly mean something to me. Cutting back will also allow me to do the things I truly want to do, like travel again.

I am inspired by the fresh colors of spring...in pictures...not outside!

Don't laugh, but American Idol is inspiring me. I get songs stuck in my head, and I find myself using the lyrics on layouts and projects.

Wow, those are great giveaways!! Fabrics are always inspiring to me...I love the bright and bold patterns!

Hi there
Right now my grade 1 students inspire me in so many ways. They are such little gems of imagination!

All of the amazing photographs on Flickr are inspiring me to become a better photographer.

my inspiration lately is a good book:

Spring is inspiring me right now. It is taking me straight into a frenzy of cleaning and a brand new re-do in the master bedroom.

Hi Ali,
I am a pack rat and save all old magazines. I was 'scrap-blocked' in Feb. and decided to dig out my oldest magazines. In 30 minutes I had tagged 3 magazines with 40 post-its of inspiration! It's like clothing styles, what old is new again......very fun and full of ideas!

I am inspired by all of the changes in colors in nature. Spring is coming!

the thought of spring being around the corner is inspiring me. . .

I have recently been inspired by the fact that I have started going back to church and we found a new one that makes my daughter and I very happy and at peace...so I would say God's love is inspiring me today!!! Thank you for the giveaway

My baby boy Carter is totally inspiring me right now! I have two girls that I have been scrapping now for 12 years, and it's just so much fun to do some boy layouts and projects after all of these years...plus he's now 6 months old and I'm getting some great photos of all the exploring he is beginning to do.

I have been inspired lately by you and Paula Wessells scrap rooms and am taking ideas from both of you and totally redoing mine. You have great ideas and Anna is so cute!!

TwoPeasInaBucket.com! I've started scraplifting layouts I love to speed up the process of getting my memories down on paper, and I've found so many fabulous designs there. Also, I just bought this punch:http://www.twopeasinabucket.com/shop/73648/ so I'm SUPER excited to start using it! :) Fabulous prizes, as always, and your little one is ADORABLE!

I have been inspired by my local scrapbook store (heartland paper in bountiful, utah). the teachers there are so amazing and talented. i could just live there!

The power of PhotoShop inspires me! I finally have the time to take a few workshops and I've been able to expand my memory keeping to a whole new level. My next step is to blend the best of my abilities in both digital and traditional projects. This is sooooo much fun! Thanks for this awesome chance to attend this retreat!

Outdoor life is inspiring me, Spring is on its way here in the UK so flowers have started budding which encourages me to take more photos to scrap!!

The colors outside. The end of the winter browns and whites and the new green colors coming up out of the ground, repeating the cycle once again...a promise of things to come!

I am inspired by a church service that my family recently attended. A few weeks ago, a friend of mind lost her baby. God called her to heaven before my friend and her family got to spend time together. This was a very sad and heartbreaking time for so many. Last week, the memorial was held. In this service so many things were shared. The most profound and inspiring words that I walked away with was: "Even though, baby Maelyn did not speak a word, her life, thought short, made a difference to so many." This little baby has moved and really touched the lives of many. I am inspired to LOVE more, THANK alot, and LIVE loud!

This may sound completely hokey - but these days, my inspiration comes from trying to find creative ways to use what I have. Instead of running out to find the "perfect" item, I am trying to look at what I have and repurpose it. While my husband and I have been fortunate enough not to be completely hit by the recession, I think this is a good reminder for all to re-examine our lives for purpose and meaning that go beyond the physical "stuff". (this has also caused me to look a little closer at my shoe obsession!)

My son's growth! He is 17 months now and the way he plays and spends his days has insipired me to make some changes in his nursery. It's looking like a toddler lives there now, rather than a baby. We have added a bookcase and a toy bin and we have changed up his his bedtime routine as a result. What fun to watch a child grow- what fun to find an excuse to do more decorating!

I have been inspired by card making; and the look of any color paired with kraft cardstock and white.

I have been inspired by a new blog I found (inspiringstories.com)
