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'm inspired by my cousin. She has faced and overcome many health challenges...and always with a smile and positive attitude. I don't know how she does it.
Thanks!

Browsing through Etsy and my favorite artist blogs is really inspiring me. Everyone seems so prolific, it lights a fire under my hiney to sit down and create something.

I am inspired by picking out colorful paint for every room in the house this week. It was so much fun to just pick out my favorites and see them go onto the walls. I wasn't my usual conservative self and just went with the colors that made me really happy - after all it's just paint and if we can't live with it those walls can go back to cream, but so far we're loving the changes!

I just used a baseball card page protector as a scrapbook "page" inspired (of course) by you!!!! I love, love, love how it turned out and now I want to do a whole album using only baseball pages, lol!!!!! Thank you! I also used some of my stamps (finally) inspired by Nora Griffin. So between the 2 of you all I want to do is scrap which is perfect because I'm on vacation for a week. :)

I am currently inspired by Hero Arts blog and all the cards that they feature. I just want to create my own version when I see them!
On the photography side, I am inspired by photos I took at my grandmother's 80th birthday two weeks ago. I am currently trying to put together a scrapbook of all the photos taken with her and each of the separate families.
Thanks,
Kim
