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

wow!! those are some unbelievably generous giveaways today! lately i am mostly inspired by my teen daughter Emily..she is AWESOME at keeping me busy with fun photos to scrap!!

I've been very inspired recently by the card making blogs I read. I've really gotten back into making a lot of cards. It's so much faster than a scrapbook page so I get a little creativity punch without the time scrapping takes me. (I need some inspiration to get back to scrapping.)

Fashion, warmer weather, increasing exercise, and laying off scrapbooking for about 12 months have all combined to make the perfect storm of creativity here.

I recently aquired a pile of photos from when I was a child. SO fun to look at, & I have been so inspired to scrap them, I cannot wait!

I am inspired by nature - the spring comeback has started and its always amazing to me - the renewal is awe inspiring!!

My 11 month old son is a source of inspiration for me to make things simpler in life.

Daily life is inspiring me lately!

I am inspired by my job. I work at a preschool cooking breakfast and lunches for three and four year olds. I love being around children they are a lot of fun. I have an eighteen year old and it's hard to let go, So my job saves me.

Very nice shots!

Lately I've been inspired by all things digital. Breaking out of my scrapbooking comfort zone has been such a fun journey!

I'm in spired by all the strong women I've come across in the past week, from the women in my cross-country ski camp to my book club to my friends. I'm going through some major transitions in my life right now and I am bouyed by their stories and support.

I'm being inspired by the pretty colors of spring beginning to pop up! I saw some gorgeous tulips yesterday! :-)

Sunshine. It is just peaking through the clouds here in Seattle, but I have already been to the nursery for planting ideas, bought the latest Spring scrapbook papers, and even played outside in the dirt with my son.

what is inspiring me lately are the blessings I receive by having wonderful kids who are teenagers and we all adore each other. The blessing of seeing newborn babies, such as sweet peach anna - grow up to be extraordinary human beings. the blessings of life!

This may sound kinda silly, but just walking into a store(such as Target) can give me TONS of ideas creatively. The graphics used in seasonal displays are often gorgous!

The thought of spring around the corner inspires me!

books are inspiring
reading voraciously and
writing haikus now

Simplifying.. using what I have and seeing the possibilities.

I live in Australia so I can't go to the retreat but the necklace and paper is divine!
At the moment I am totally inspired by seeing my kids look back at the scrapbook pages I've done. When they flick through their albums and want me to read the journaling it's better than any story book you could buy at a shop because it's real life and about them. This makes me so inspired to do more and scrap faster so they will forever have these cool stories and memories won't be lost....actually I should take a picture of that and scrap that also...I've inspired myself just writing this comment :)
