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

Seeing my tulips pushing their heads out of the dirt makes me inspired to keep going and get organized.

Just scrapping again is inspiring me! I took a long break from having a baby and getting out all the supplies and starting again is refreshing!

The hope of spring just around the corner is what is inspiring me today. I am a teacher and my kindergarten class needs warm sun to play in! We've been cooped up too much this winter.

Lately, I've been working on a presentation for work and browsing Flickr for inspiration (and images available under CC licenses!). I've also loved watching some of the latest TED presentations and browsing some really innovative and enlightening slideshare presentations.

I'm inspired by my kids right now...we are spending more time just being silly and it just feels so good to know that the little things came uplift your spirit! :)

Ali you inspire me in my daily life and creative life...
I also love following several photographers such as Tara Whitney and www.theimageisfound.com
My son and baby to be also give me daily inspiration.

Ali-
Right now EVERYTHING is inspiring me! :) I have been loving Tim Holtz's new demos and I loved watching Paperclipping last night with Teresa Collins' designer, Dedra Long. I have started to hybrid scrapbook just a few weeks ago and bought too much on Designer Digitals! LOL! There is so much inspiration in some of the designs that you can download...I love playing some of my layouts off of those sometimes. :)
I still need to do a layout with baseball card page protectors that I have seen you do, Ali! :) LOL!
Sorry this is so long, Ali! :)
Hope the kids are ok! :)
Hugs-

Knowing that spring is right right the corner is inspiring me right now. I'm going to do an yellow based LO (loved that LO you did a few weeks back with the yellow Technique Tuesday heart and that link you posted to that mini book 'Sunshine in February'). Thanks Ali :)

Well, each night when I come home from work and each morning when I wake up my personal inspiration comes from checking Ali Edwards' and Tim Holtz's blog! However, at work, I teach art to little ones and right now we are totally excited about creating lions inspired by disney artist who created the Lion King and the Lion King on Broadway. Each year I do this (when march comes in)and each year its like the first time! Fun!

I'm always inspired by fun and creative bloggers that I like to revisit over and over again one of them is your's . thank you for a wonderful retreat.

My stash of oldie but goodie scrapbook supplies has me out of my rut! I love rediscovering old product and combining it in new, fresh ways!

inspiration = fresh air & sunshine!

University has been taken a toll on me and has been very stressful lately. Balancing my academic and social life has not been easy either. The most simple things inspire me nowadays. A walk to the lake, sitting on a rock, and staring at the clouds helps me relieve my stress and let my thoughts flow onto paper when I am writing about my current state.
It's funny how we take the most simple things for granted when we aren't placed in a comparable stressful or difficult situation.

I'm inspired by the joy that I can find each day in the little things. TImes are tough right now for everyone. I think the key to making the world keep turning is to take time to cherish the little things. They'll inspire you, no doubt.

Hi Ali,
I've been inspired lately by the juicy colors in a quilt my sis-in-law made for me recently. Of course, this may inspire a shopping trip instead of art, but that's okay with me!

I am being inspired all day every day by COLOR! Wherever I rest my eyes, there is some little spark of design that gets my creative juices flowing. Plenty of ideas, not enough hours in the day!

Inspired by using templates lately. Seems like I can get more done and actually see a completed project. Ahhh, such a nice feeling that makes me want to create more

I believe that inspiration lately has come in the source of the sun. I live in Oregon, too, and it's been a cold winter! As much as I love the snow and cold we have been blessed to see this year, I do miss the sun and the overall warmth of the sun coming out longer and longer. Lately I have felt energized, inspired to get moving and going, and just overall inspired to get going on the things I want and need to be. (o:

Actually, most recently, your blog has been my place for inspiration. I look forward to reading the new updates and seeing the spectacular and creative artists you highlight. Recently you featured LollyChop’s punched butterfly frames, spectacular! My husband is an entomologist and enjoys collecting butterflies and framing them making beautiful art. He agreed with me, WOW! Butterflies remind me of the upcoming spring (even though in Puerto Rico we have been enjoying spring like whether all winter) my focus at the moment is putting together a butterfly mini album similar to the one featured in The Scarlet Lime. I have been pulling out everything and anything with butterfly to use for this project. After that….who knows, maybe I will tackle the punched butterfly project!

Hello Kitty and all things that make me feel like a kid again.
