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

What inspires me right now is the sunshine! We haven't seen it in Michigan much this winter - so the bright sunshine just makes everything better.

I am inspired by photography blogs, such as shuttersisters:

YOU posting at 5am is inspiring. I have my finals coming up in May and I prefer cuddling under a nice blanket on the couch closing my eyes for just a few minutes... longer... and longer... ooops, the afternoon has gone by...
Anyways. Ali, you inspire me in all you do and in all that you are. I love reading your blog. Thank you for sharing your life.

What is inspiring me right now.... the thought of SPRING! It is so refreshing and uplifting to finally wake to daylight in the early hours, and to hear the doves back from winter vacation, outside my bedroom window, telling us to get out of bed. I want to capture these moments after such a loooong winter.

I have joined Lisa Day's Creativity Project and its really getting me excited to see that creativity doesn't have to be wonderful layouts everyday, but can be as simple as spending an hour playing legos with your kids. LOVE IT!

There is a feeling of urgency about life that I have right now, that life is short and I am growing older, and there are so many stories and emotions about my children that I need to get down. Can't explain it, but it's there. This is inspiration for me.

I would love to win the class. Digital scrapbooking intimidates me. Everything else is way cool too.

First and foremost, my kids have been inspiring me. They grow SO FAST (as you well know).
I heard both children up this morning. I laid in bed listening to the monitor as I heard my son go into the nursery and greet his sister this morning with a rousing, "Hi mimi" (aka Kymberlin)
So really, I think the inspiration comes from childhood innocence and watching them in theirs.

Lately I've been inspired by the energy that seems to be coming from New England Spring trying to cut through this wretched winter. Back and forth we go and Spring is struggling to break through, but the energy of it all is quite inspiring!

Lately I have been checking out the hero arts blog - great ideas for cards and layouts! I'm really enjoying playing with their stamps. Lots of extremely creative woman over there - very inspiring. And they always seem to have something for everyone. Oh and great "how to" videos!

My children, and espically my two year old. He is not old enough to worry about anything(and I worry enough for everyone), and he is always looking for and finding the next fun thing, his laugh espically inspires me!

I am inspired by the hopes that spring is indeed coming and will be beautiful in this area.

I'm inspired by the calendar! In just a few short months our 4 year military tour in Germany will come to an end and we will be moving back to the states. I'm trying to finish as many pages as I can, while still trying to photograph things I know I will miss.

I absolutely love the necklace. My kids and I have said that phrase since they were very, very young. They are now 15 and 20 and we still say it to each other.

What great giveaways!!! What is inspiring me right now... knowing that spring is just around the corner!

I am inspired by good books and quality time with friends.

I've been inspired lately by the trip we just took to England. I finally feel capable of putting some of the digital skills (!) I've practiced together with the pictures we took and creating a lasting memory for dh.

Thanks for such a marvelous collection of giveaways. Give Anna and Simon a special hug from me.

I got a Silhouette digial cutter for Christmas, and lately I've been inspired by the doodlebats at Scrapnfonts - so much fun to cut them out!

Right now I'm inspired by the sunshine that's been missing for far too long in WNY, some stitching that I'm trying to finish for an Embroiderers' Guild exhibit and the way both my boys are progressing in school! XX's
