Lately I have been really inspired by the motto of love what you have. Instead of rushing out to the store when I think I need something, I like to try to think of a way to use what I already have, it's been nice to just have less to deal with and be grateful for what I already have, really makes you realize whats important.

Blogs inspire me and especially yours, I like how you show simple layouts without too much "fuss". I like focusing on the story rather than the decorations. You've inspired me to use less colours for my cardstock for example, it's really helped the creative process.
Thanx!

I'm inspired simply by the fact that I have an 11 week and am finally starting to get the hang of time management with a child around.

Hi Ali,
My son (9) always inspires me..... The other night he decided to "perform" a kidz CD for me dressed as a rockstar. I asked him if I could take pictures of him and he was "Sure Mommy". It's not often he allows me to take photos... Can't wait to do his "Rockstar" page. Love the prizes. Thanks again

Hi Ali,
I'm inspired by how beautifully this summer has gone. My two little ones have been so great together, some serious sibling revelry took me by complete surprise while big sister's out of school. As a family, as a STAHM, this summer has been a true gift.

Great givewaway Ali,
What is inspiring me today? I have been looking back at my photos that are still on my camera from the past few weekends that we have been canping & fishing. Just being outside, river rocks, the river, hotdogs for lunch. Makes me want to get scrapping those to enjoy them on paper.

I just finished beta reading a novel for a college friend of mine. It's set in the 1940s and she has a scene where they're looking at photos. It was at that point that I realized her main character was born about the same time as my dad and I was inspired to get to work on the album of old family photos I've been wanting to do for him.

I have been inspired lately by small, independent businesses...a favorite, out of the way flower shop (Rosetree Floral), Common Grounds Coffee House and another smaller crafts studio. I am inspired by their abillity to capture something unique in an otherwise over-commercial world.

Things that are inspiring me lately are living in a new place, meeting new people, searching new surroundings daily and the thoughts and feelings I have while being away from my husband.
Live, Laugh, Love is something that means a lot to me in my relationship with my husband as it is what was on the scrapbook he gave me when we started dating and then throughout our wedding stuff. It also is what our door mat and stamps currently say. This quote is something that I live by and a necklace like this would mean so much.
Such a great giveaway.

Great giveaways! Right now I'm inspired by kit club blogs. I stumbled upon Kenner Road the other day and loved the minibook that guest designer Rhonda Palazarri made. I'm in awed by all the cute stuff that can be made with a few papers and lots of creativity.

My husband got me a Wii Fit for my birthday last week and it has been inspiring me to exercise and try to eat a little bit healthier.
Thanks for the chance!!

I would have to say my daughter is my inspiration right now. Her strength as she goes through her infusion treatments and starts back at school gives me the inspiration to know that I can do anything.

Getting a new point and shoot has inspired me to take more "everyday" photos.
