I am recently inspired by other scrapbooker/photographer blogs. It not only gives me ideas to create pages, but also ideas on how to take better photos.

I am inspired by online classes and blog hopping. It never ceases to amaze me how many talented people are out there and how freely they share their art and lives. It really keeps me going and keeps the creative juices flowing.

Right now I have actually been inspired by you, Ali. I am really trying to enjoy this moment and take in the time that I have with my son and my husband. I am learning to take a few photos and then put the camera down, and be part of the activity, laugh, enjoy, and share in the moment. I used to get so freaked out about the right shot, or how I would scrapbook the moment, I am learning not to do this. And I am finding that I enjoy it more. So, thank you for helping me.

Ali - great giveaways. I'm inspired right now by my beautiful brand new granddaughter - our first. I'm taking more pictures that ever and thinking of ways to scrapbook them immediately. Definitely inspiration!

I am inspired by looking at some old family photos. My grandma passed away a few months ago, and I ended up with her album. It even has pictures of my Dad when he was real little. Goes back to great grandparents. Its really cool! So I am doing some heritage scrapbooking as a result.

Moments shared with my girls and hubby. With my hubby being home all day and my eldest daughter going to kindergarden next week. I have been just taking in each moment we laugh, play, sing, dance, and just being together. I want them to remember this time in my works of art.

I am inspired by life. The beauty of it is all around you if you only take time to look up, look down, look around. It is there in the sunlight on a child's hair, it is there in the moonlight, it is there in the water and the air we breathe. It is colors, it is hope, it is joy.

I've been inspired by our new computer and printer. We finally upgraded to an HP Photosmart printer and I can actually produce my own photos right at the moment I download them. I'm famous for downloading but never sending photos to be printed (I have almost a year's worth of photos waiting to be processed!), so it's great that I'm able to immediately be able to get to work.
