Sponsor Giveaways: Yume Design, My Scrap Deals, Evalicious

I am inspired by the book I just finished (in 2 evenings) "The Art of Racing in The Rain". What a wonderful book about humility and compassion... One of those books you constantly think about even after finishing it.

I'm inspired lately by summer colors. My son's birthday was last week and for his party we got out the blow-up pool with all the accessories and let him go crazy. The photos I took are all accented by the bright colors of the toys and I can't wait to print the photos for his mini album. Thanks for the give-away!

to be honest nothing is inspiring me right now. I haven't scrapbook in over 2-3 months now. I really need to clean up my scrap booking room. Every time I go in there I turned around and closed the door...it's just so messy. The room is also my husband work area when he is working from home and mine too. Eventually, I will clean it up and be able to scrapbook soon. Oh yeah, I haven't bought any new scrap booking material in the last 4 months or so. I am due soon.

I'm inspired by having a tidy home. How is it that having our 18-month-old niece to visit actually makes my house tidier?!

Great give Aways! Lately I've been inspired by all of the great layouts in the Spetmeber Creating Keepsakes magazine. I've already lifted 3 pages.

I'm inspired by the fantastic summer photography tips and pics featured on the Studio Calico blog.

I'm inspired by my children and their passion to learn and live life.

Thanks for a chance to win. I am inspired by the bravery of the astronauts who went up in the Atlantis Space Shuttle to work on the Hubble telescope last month. I was luck enough to get VIP tickets to the lift-off. I have pictures of the team striding to the shuttle - so excited and happy. They knew the dangers and still were eager to go.

I have been inspired lately by tiny details...today it was chocolate 2 year old fingerprints on my wall going up the stairway! Won't clean them until I'm satisfied with my pictures capturing that moment!

My children. I realize for them to have a great life, I need to give myself a great life, too.

I'm inspired by the warm, sunny days of summer. Although it's usually a lazy time, the sun energizes me.

I've been searching around Two Peas lately and have been inspired there. And magazines. And blogs. There is inspiration everywhere! Great prizes this week. :)

Hi Ali...I'm inspired these days by my 3 kids. Spending the long summer days with them at the fishing pier, reading long books listening to thunderstorms outside, catching up on movies, and so much more. I love having this time to spend with them because they are growing up soooooo fast, way too fast for me.

wow...what inspires...a lot inspires. People. Places.Events. Things. Life in general and telling its story. Rather the story be my own or someone in my family...

I'm inspired by being back at work (I was laid off for 5 months). It feels great to be in a new, welcoming environment and it's awesome to be learning something new. I'm enjoying going to work.

I'm inspired by my boys and my 9 month old grandson! I'm enjoying documenting their every day lives and the crazy things they get into!

I am inspired by all of the great blogs on the internet (I visit your daily!)... the projects that everyone shares are amazing.

the weather sure has inspired me; not just to appreciate it but to realize it's something not even the gov't can control-yet! lol

My family is my inspiration. After recently losing my aunt to cancer, I'm painfully aware of the limits to our time here on earth. I want to leave something for my children showing them how much I cared and what a great life we've had!

Two things honestly...Your Technique Tuesdays (have loved them!) and Jennifer McGuire's technique videos on her blog; both have made me want to try out techniques I've never tried before. Thanks, Ali! PAM
