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.

right now I'm inspired by my husband, who is following his dreams. He's creative and spiritual and is taking risks to live the life he desires. That is inspiring me to do the same, to find inspiration in the small and big of everyday life.

I am always inspired by my daughters. My oldest daughter has so much energy and so much enthusiasm for even the smallest things. My youngest daughter is so organized and so driven to accomplish things. I don't know where they got it from...

I've rediscovered my passion for Georgia O'Keeffe. I splurged and bough two luscious books full of her art, and I'm just in awe of the color, texture, flow...

Something that is inspiring me lately is the opportunity I have to move in a couple weeks. Its a new start, a new beginning and I'm inspired to make it the best - even when I'm leaving behind some wonderful friends and family.

I am inspired by my boys. I love the age diffferences (11 and 3) it's so fun to see them play together but on totally different levels.

I've been inspired by many of the new lines found at CHA. I can't wait to get my hands on some of the Halloween and Christmas lines (those are the only themed lines I use, except for a little vacation stuff here and there). I also love, love, love the new Tim Holtz rock candy stickles,crackle paint and film strips. Hero Arts is also putting out some great stamps.
