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

I'm finding inspiration everywhere at the moment, from my kids, the beginnings of Spring in the garden - and of course from blogs, online galleries and new manufacturer releases! I've recently decided to focus on the reasons why I scrapbook - and not on having the latest gadgets, techniques etc and I find I'm much more productive since this!

What inspires me?
The blogs I read inspire to be a better mom, better wife, better Christian, more creative, a cook, more fashionable, and a better friend. I love all of the ideas I see and read about.
I am also inspired by the sun that has been shining. Even though we still have snow on the groud, Spring is trying to get here! I have more energy and a renewed spirit after the gray of winter!

The color green has been inspiring me lately... can't get enough green these days.

My 11 year old son inspires me each and every day. He just amazes me.

I've been inspired by all that can be done through social media marketing-- twitter, facebook, etc-- for non-profits. I'm involved in a local promotion for MS Awareness Week and the response has been incredible!

I'm being inspired by great books!

I am finding inspiration in Project 365 which I am participating in. That, and the spring flowers which are popping up all over the place...

Scrapbooking - Two Peas in a Bucket, hands down. With their forums, search options, and daily top 10 gallery, it's an endless source of inspiration!
In life - my kids. Sounds so cliche but they really do inspire me to do better everyday!

The thought of Spring has been inspiring to me lately. I am really looking forward to warmer weather, rain, and FLOWERS!

i am inspired by a new love of simple, finished pages:)
HAPPY, HAPPY, HAPPY:)

I've been totally inspired by any patterned scrapbook paper that is scallopped! I could make a page on everyone that I have! i just love the different shapes!

We had our first snow of the winter Sunday night, and we still have some snow on the ground. I live in the south, so this is really rare, and I am currently inspired by the bright white sparkly wonderland outside, especially the trees already budding but covered with snow.

I've been inspired by my Project 365 lately - getting my camera out every single day and having a visual reminder of that day has helped trigger thoughts/ideas/inspiration several days after the fact.

The weather...I love this time of year where we get hints that Spring is just around the corner.

The wonderful artists, artisans, and crafters on etsy! I've fallen in love with so many creative ideas and projects...not to mention purchased several items!

My children are really inspiring me lately - not that they don't always. But my 11 year old son has had some time consuming assignments at school lately on top of the usual requirements, yearly aptitude testing & entrance exams for middle school With all of this going on he has kept a smile on his face & a positive attitude. My soon to be 8 year old daughter has proven over & over again that they young shall lead as she takes it upon her self to help those at school who struggle. What a blessing, what inspirations.

I've been inspired by the gallery at Studio Calico lately. What an amazing design team they have!

the birds still sing no matter what...

My biggest inspiration right now are the flowers finally blooming in my yard. I have taken quite a few upclose photos and have scrapped them but I think I'm going to order some canvas prints from canvasondemand.com a la Georgia O'Keefe style... That would keep Spring in my house long after the temps rise over 90F!

I've been reading a lot about the voluntary simplictiy movement and green gardening lately and I'm feeling so inspired by the folks involved in both movements. I've been focusing on green solutions and sustainable choices and feel very invigorated by them. I'm inspired by the beauty that surrounds me when I look at the little things and realize that they really are the big things.
Thanks for sharing these wonderful goodies with everyone--whoever the winners may be!
