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

I'm inspired by the weather... we are finally getting warmer days in Wisconsin and the smell of spring is in the air!

Flickr has been inspiring me lately. I just posted several random pictures on my blog last night. www.superbrowns.blogspot.com Lots of great photography out there with wonderful color combinations for scrapbooking.

I can't believe I'm the first post?!?!?! WOW!!! What's inspring me lately? That spring is near, and that a certain dream of mine is on the brink of possibility and becoming real!!!!!!!!!
Thanks for the AWESOME opportunities Ali!!!! You rock!!!

I've been inspired by Lain Ehmann's LOAD class. Creating a page a day for the month of February...talk about motivating!

my 8 year old daughter is inspires me. her passion for life and inhibition when it comes to her art. she *lives* in the moment. every moment.

KNITTING!! I learned last Sunday and I have become completely obsessed with it! lol I have knit a hat, and two scarves in a week and I'm going through withdrawl waiting to get the next projects in the mail that I ordered online!!

I have been inspired by all of the creative ways that little birds an owls are being used on paper, embellies, stamps, etc. They are SO cute!

I've been inspired by Lain Ehmann's LOAD - a challenge to creat a layout a day for the month of February, now that was motivating. Now that I got the ball rolling again, I'm finding inspiration everywhere(except outside....still freezing cold and snowy)!

My design students inspire me constantly. I am always in admiration of their thirst and appetite for creativity and this makes me feel enthused and energetic about teaching them!

A good quote is almost always my best inspiration. Or a hymn that our choir is learning that has particularly wonderful lyrics. I am often moved to scrap a layout around a quote!

I am craving bright colors lately! Pinks, purples, greens. I think that just the fact that Spring is so close is inspiring!

the mounds of snow we finally got this weekend have left me so inspired and happy. seeing our almost 1-year-old experience snow for the first time has been amazing. :)

I have been inspired by the premise of spring arriving shortly. My love of getting my hands in the warm dirt and the smell of it along with all the vegetables and wonderful things it will bring me after a season of good, hard, dirty work! I like to check out this website: http://www.foodiefarmgirl.blogspot.com/ for cooking inspiration and a ton of cute pictures!

I am totally inspired by my kid's clean rooms and memorized scriptures. No one begged and pleaded, it just happened. It's inspiring to see all that we have worked to instill in them come to fruition.

As I plan decorating for our new home (woo-hoo!) I have been loving the color combinations at http://www.myperfectcolor.com/Color-Combinations-Myperfectcolor-com-s/3254.htm

I've been inspired by elle's studio's wonderfull dear collection!! :)

Lately...I find myself inspiring. I have pushed myself to go from an almost non-exciser to an almost runner. It's going slowly, but I never thought I would do it and stick with it this long. It's a good feeling, actually inspiring to put myself first and take care of my body.

I am inspired by bright colors and the thought of spring in bloom despite the beautiful snowfall this past weekend.
My teenagers are a constant inspiration, and they bring joy into my life. I am also inspired by scrapbookers blogs, staying connected to new trends and papers and just creating. Thanks Ali for your inspiration. kdan4

Probably what inspires me most these days - not only the change of the season, but also some changes in my life. I'm planning our wedding, rejoicing for a better job proposal. It seems, that everything is so wonderful. It gives me strenght and makes happy.

I have been inspired by Christine Middlecamp's layouts lately; all the layering! It's taken some time to "learn" but I'm getting it and it's less complex putting those finishing touches that make the page pop!
