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.

Hey Ali---I am finally feeling inspired again...by so many things: colors, magazines and I have been using the We R Memory Keepers hybrid sleeves and it was just what I needed to get my scrapping groove back! Great giveaways and thanks for always being so inspiring to so many people.

I've been so inspired by adversity lately - sounds strange, but really. People are so strong and capable, and come up with creative ways to find their way through tough times. In my workplace we are all being furloughed 2 days a week - this is a 10% pay cut, and no body is flush. Still they are making plans to picnic at the beach with their kids and volunteer at their school. People are finding a way to make it a blessing - and I find that inspiring.

Lately I've been inspired by smaller formats; whether it's an 8 x 8 layout, a mini book, or even divided page protectors, I seem to be able to get a little more accomplished.
Fun products you're showing, as always.

My husband has been my inspiration lately. He has always inspired me, but more so in these hard times that our family is facing. He is my rock.

Maybe a weird one, but I get a lot of inspiration from Twitter the last couple of days! All those creative people posting links to the most wonderful blogs and articles I otherwise would never had discovered... I love it! Makes me want to create and share again, after a long, very sad period without any inspiration whatsoever!

My inspiration has come from the countdown to the start of a new school year. I'm an elementary school teacher and the weeks before school starts is an exciting time. A new year, a new group of kids, and all new ideas and projects.

I am inspired by God's love and support for me. It is keeping me going through a very tough time right now. My 11 yr old daughter is having major anxiety issues/panic attacks that have had a strong grip on her all summer. It's a very scary time for us, with heightening concerns as school approaches. My worries and my broken heart over this is possible to get through, one minute at a time, through God's inspiration, comfort and love.

i have been inspired by PURGING! one space at a time, i am cleaning, re-organizing and purging in my home. this morning was a bathroom closet (with some meds from 2004 - i kid you not!) and this afternoon/evening is the pantry. i always feel so good. clean. whole. FREE. when my space is cleaned. and purged. it's awesome! i already made $447 at a garage sale last week and i could probably earn another $100 with more stuff i'm finding! :)

My three girls are my daily inspiration. Without them, I'm not sure I would've pursued scrapbooking a few years ago. They give me a reason to create.
