Sponsor Giveaways: Yume Design, My Scrap Deals, Evalicious
One lucky reader will receive Yume Design'sLIVE, LAUGH, LOVE hand-stamped necklace. Three pendants in varying sizes are hand-stamped and embellished with a simple pink bead charm hanging from an 18" sterling silver bead ball chain necklace. This prize is valued at $44.
Artist Diana Egusa started metal stamping simply as a grounding, creative outlet to balance her life in the hectic corporate world. After friends and family took notice of her creative designs and started requesting custom pieces for themselves, Diana discovered that her casual hobby had quickly turned into a successful fledgling business.
Yume Design features personalized hand-stamped sterling silver jewelry. Diana works with her clients' inspirations to create custom, unique pieces; each creation is one-of-a kind, made with high-quality, heavy gauge, 100% Sterling Silver to withstand everyday use.

I have been inspired by Kelly Rae, not just her art but her words (which I guess are a form of art as well).

I have been inspired lately by the passing of time. It sounds maudlin but a couple of events this summer have proven that time goes by so quickly, and it's important to be conscious of each moment--even if you're just messing around. Like James Taylor says, "The secret of life is enjoying the passage of time."

My 92-year-old mother inspires me lately and always! She has always chosen to remain an optimist, even in times of difficulty. Her greatest advice to me, " I never worry. If you have time to worry, then you have time to pray." She is truly an inspiration!

I'm inspired by my 3 month old daughter- by her smiles, how much she is changing and growing and learning about her world.

My daughter is my inspiration... she's set to arrive November 6th and I'm already getting more organized and prepared than I normally would be both in my day to day life and my crafty life. She's my dream come true. <3
P.S. I couldn't get the coupon code to work for My Scrap Deals. That Fancy Pants deal was still a steal and a half though. Thanks! :)

My inspiration lately has been coming from blogs. Particularly Dawn McVey's colour combinations, and Michell Wooderson's mass producing style.

Today I am inspired by a wedding that I'm going to later this afternoon. I love weddings. It such a happy occasion & it reminds me of when my husband and I were married 11 years ago :) I can't wait for your class!

I've been inspired by Jennifer McGuire's videos called "Thinking Inking". We're at week 8 so far and each and every video either refreshes me of old techniques or teaches something new. Love that!
I'm also inspired when I see your layouts in CK, Ali! I love the clean looks, orderly layouts, and "real" photos that you use.

My friend Colleen inspires me lately! She books a baby sitter every wednesday evening and comes over once my kids are asleep and we scrap. Without her coming over to hang out and learn how to scrap and use my tools I likely wouldn't be doing it right now!
Friends Rock!

Food is inspiring me!
Went to see Julie and Julia on Friday night and want to do nothing but cook things (with lots of butter in them).

I am inspired by the back-to-school season. I've noticed my projects have more office and school book looks to them. I love back-to-school shopping...especially when I find something great to use as an embellishment!
