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

Photos! Been really inspired to tell lots of stories I had forgotten. LIttle snippets and quick things that came through my head as I looked through, cropped and edited a bunch of photos over the weekend. They are in my head and I wont have time to work on them in terms of layouts until next week - so I am journalling now. Love the little peaches and cream= Anna photo. A cute little sweet pea!

Right now I am most inspired by LIFE! Here in Texas it feels like Spring is officially here and my kids and I are planting our first garden (with Grandma's help:) and spending lots of time outside. This time of year makes everything seem possible!

You asked for links so here goes...

I love those necklaces!! I have been inspired by my daughter. She is 9 and has now decided to be a fashion diva. Fun to watch her transformation!!

I heard that my health is in stake. But knowing this inspired me. It made me look at the things around me in different ways.

I am completely inspired by the promise of spring. The green blades of grass are peeking through the brown and the buds are popping up on tree branches. It's invigorating.

Ali - thanks for another great giveaway opportunity! Lately I have been inspired by color! I am drawn to bright, summery, fun colors right now. Maybe it's my wishful thinking about Spring & Summer? Whatever the reason, I am loving it. I am using brighter colors to decorate around my home & in my scrapping & card making. I love the results!

The budding flowers inspire me. :)

I am inspired by how perfect my life is today. I am a student, wife and mother. I monitor art in the halls for work. All my needs are met and then some. My job is to study hard, savor life and guide my little ones. I have no other worries!

babies.... seems like alot of my friends and family are having their babies all at once. A new life is such a reason the celebrate and look forward to the future. And the clothes they have not for new babies are just adorable. Great inspiration for color combos for scrapbook layouts.

My 3 boys inspire me every day. I didn't realize just how much love a mother has to give as a new baby arrives. My 3 month old son has shown me just how much. :)

I have to say that my son's smile is inspiring me lately. He is 9 weeks old and has been smiling for a few weeks now, but it is the most amazing thing I have ever experienced! This is my first child, and whenever I am down or feeling overwhelmed...one smile from him and I am smitten:) I also have to say that you are inspiring to me. What a kind giveaway! I would love to learn about digital scrapbooking as I have been too scared to even think about getting started. I also LOVE those necklaces, the other day you had something on from her and I would love the necklaces with the square initials. Anyway, sorry this is so long. Thank you for giving me something to *look forward to* even if I don't win it is nice to remember how sweet that smile is:)

so many gorgeous products! thanks for sharing, ali.
what's inspiring me lately? the spirit of generosity from my family and friends. I have committed to walking 60 miles in 3 days for the Breast Cancer walk in Philadelphia. its a lot to train for and you need to raise at least $2300 which seems daunting, but i am soo inspired by those who love me. i can't thank them enough.

Everything at Studio Calico!!

Inspiring me right now is the group of photos that we finallly hung in our house.

One of my twin nine-year-old boys, seemingly out of the blue, decided he would try to say or do three nice things a day for someone else during Lent. It was one of those moments where as a parent you think, "Gosh, I guess I am doing a few things right all these years." So now we are all inspired to three daily "random acts of kindness" during this season.

Actually... I just found out about Ali Edwards (Sunday night)and have been inspired by cruising around the website/blog. My inspiration journal has become an art journal (in the making) and I am compiling those words that help me work through things. My six-year-old's amazing insights, comments, and questions (oh, the questions) also move my mind's eye to new and better things.

what great giveaways!
what is inspiring me lately? at this moment it's a nice clean house and no laundry to do. it's amazing how creative i feel when all the chores are done and the house is clean.

Great giveaways! Thanks for the opportunity.
This may seem weird but my puppy inspires me everyday. She is so silly and gets excited over such small things. I find myself acting silly and excited right along with her. She has brighten my days and inspires me to remember the small things in life and to get excited over them. Something that I sometimes forget to do. And she makes me laugh. Can't beat that!

I love the necklace.
Anyway, what is inspiring me right now is family. I am working on an album for my brothers 30 b-day it looking back thru old phots has really inspired me and made me thankful.
