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

What is inspiring me lately? I think doing the A Week in My Life last fall made me very aware of my surroundings and the little things on a recent cruise. The beauty (and of course the vacation part) have really been keeping me going. My upcoming grandbaby is also inspiring me to get creative on a "reflections" journal for my daughter. . . so in turn, you, Ali, have been inspiring me!

My inspiration lately has been the BLOGS that I read daily. I LOVE LOVE LOVE the past Creating Keepsakes SOY winners. Elizabeth Kartchner's JUST US blog and CD Muckosky's JELLYBEAN TOES,CHEERIOS,and a SCRAPPING HULLABALOO.
Love the Creating Keepsakes magazine which came yesterday ... i am so bad that I can not wait a whole month for another one so I only read a bit at a time to make it last all month long.
Of course YOU ALI and Lisa Bearson. It is a travel dream of mine to get to UTAH. I just picture lots of people into scrapbooking and I would love to be a part of it.
Your baby (entire family) is beautiful!!! Congrats.

Fresh fallen snow (we do live in Alaska!)
Thoughts of spring!

Hmmmm what inspires me lately. I would have to say the need to sell my home inspires me lately. With what is going on with the entire world and the economic woes, I have been presented with the need to eliminate my pride and joy my home. Puzzled by the fact that I am inspired by this.. well let's just say I have reached within the depths of my soul and found just the right stuff to make me handle this venture. So I am inspired by the process of decluttering, and removing myself and family and making space for new owners to love my pride and joy.

The sun coming out here in Chicago is what is inspiring me!

wow those are great prizes!!! I am inspired by my baby girl...she adds sparkle to my day every day!!

Lately I have been inspired by the artwork I see being used in TV commercials and magizine advertisements. I keep seeing cool fonts and swirls like the creators are scrapbookers. Anyway, it gives me ideas to try on my pages.

my inspiration lately: the fact that it is beginning to be beach weather here in Florida!

I'm inspired by passionate people lately. I've been reading some new blogs and drinking in the passion represented in them. Also, I've been witnessing some amazing passion among the pediatric residents I support at work. Sunnier days are making me happier and a little more passionate myself.

Lately, I've been inspired by the collage image sheets I've made with my family heritage photos. I love using them on cards and in other mixed media.

My Grandma who passed away almost 2 weeks ago is inspiring me right now. Sounds kinda strange, but reading notes people have sent us about her, listening to people talk about their memories of her and remembering the kind of person she was...makes me want to be more like her.

I find myself totally inspired by SPICES. Food being interesting? vs. mindless eating? What a concept!

The last few days I have stood at our window and watched the sun rise. The beauty, the colors, the wonder. It makes me appreciate my life and want to express myself creatively.

I get very inspired by visiting scrapbook blogs..

Colors everywhere are inspiring me ... I'm ready for spring!

What is inspiring me? The chance to win a DigiScrap get away!!!!
Honestly though, my boys inspire me- this morning I listened to them have a coversation about 'maybe Mommy will make a slide show with pictures of us jumping on the bed...' and they went on to jump on the bed and discuss all the captions I could use for their crazy jumps. It was just very sweet!

What wonderful give-a-ways!! Lately I'm really inspired by a new online class I am taking (Jessica Sprague's Photo Editing class). I haven't taken a "class" for who knows how long and just the motivation I am feeling about learning something totally new is just really fun and brightening my days. It is encouraging me to always keep on learning....

I am inspired by the goodness of other people. I am amazed at what people will do for me in my time of need.

I have been taking Stacy Julian's LOM class..it is so nice to start organizing things in a completely different way - very inspiring. AND..just got some Bo Bunny chipboard mini books..can't wait to make an album about our trip to Maine.
Ps..Anna is precious...congrats again.

Having a clean house and the laundry completed has made me feel inspired latey. Now just to keep it that way!!
