Sponsor Giveaways: Yume Design, My Scrap Deals, Evalicious

I find myself inspired by nature. I have been coming home after work and just taking pictures of the world around me. I ventured into the canyon behind my apartment complex and got some amazing views of the bay just the other day. I think the thing it makes me realize is that there are pictures and memories in the everyday things that surround me.

I am inspired everyday by my 5 month old son, Kasey who has the most refreshing outlook on life!

Having just spent a week visiting with my 8-month old grandson, I am inspired by his easy 2-tooth smile, the way he would cuddle against my neck, and the way he would pull down his bumber pads and peek at me through the bars of his crib.

I've been inspired by the full colors of summer. I looked at my photos and noticed how bright and full the colors looked. I've been trying to capture more of those colors in photographs and plan to use them in scrapbooking.

The Secret Garden by Frances Burnett - I'm loving reading this book to my daughter.

Lately I have been inspired by my wedding 3 weeks ago. I can't wait to journal all the thoughts in my head. It was so much fun, and I'd do it all over in a heartbeat!!

These are great giveways :) Lately I am inspired by color, the color i see every day, the aqua blue ocean, the red dirt, the white sand, the greenery in our garden. Its so easy to take for granted the things you see each day, but with mindfulness, they can inspire you in the most amazing ways.

my inspiration comes from a variety of magazines. i also love "flicker," and "etsy" too. thanks for the great give-away opportunity.

I've been inspired lately by the conversations I've had with family and friends. It's so great to have these people around to bounce ideas and to have the chance to say what I really want to see to them, to let them know I love them.

i've been very inspired by a line of cosmo cricit lately! i picked up a few random pieces, an can't seem to stop! love them!!

I've been inspired lately by the converstations I've had with family and friends. It's so great to be able to have the chance to say what you really want to say to them before it's too late... To say "I love you" and really mean it is inspiring me!

I am currently inspired by people who turned their lives around and lost 100lbs through diet and exercise changes and sheer determination - guess who has started the same journey?! lol.

Lately I have been inspired by- of all things- a toy shop in London. I've been working on the scrapbook from my January wedding & all the whimsical, old-fashioned toys have provided the inspiration for a fairy tale, old pop-up book looking album

My boys, ages 6 and 2 are a source of constant inspiration. They are a joy and pure fun, sunlight and shadows, calm and crazy....just like art!

I am inspired by my kids. We have been dealt some tough times lately with my husband's job changes, two moves, and a few bumps along the way this past year. My 5 kids have been troopers and are such an inspiration to me!

Your giveaways are so generous and exciting. My family has had an especially rough few years that might have destroyed us, but I am inspired by my oldest son who is 24 and gravely ill. He has such a compassionate and positive outlook. He expresses his feels through composing music and has encouraged me to express myself through art, scrapbooking, making cards, whatever creative outlet that will help me to release my fear, feelings of helplessness, and move to a place of peace, hopefullness and connectedness. I am also inspired by Karen Russell's photograpy, Tara Whitney's photography, House of 3's hybrid products, and my sister's twin granddaughters.

At the moment, it is quilts and the way they come together.....i recently went to a quilt show and am amazed how they are put together, am sure i could relate this to my scrapbooking....thank you to you and your sponsors...fingers crossed

Martha Stewart's light green colors we see so much of on her website.

I am inspired every single day by my kiddos. They are one of the main reasons I scrapbook. I wish I had more time to turn the inspiration into a page or two!
