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.

My baby is starting school soon. I am inspired to get organized and accomplish so many projects! My list is growing. I will need something to keep my mind off the fact that we don't have any little ones any more.

Ooohhh I love the Evalicious goodies!
Lately I have been inspired by all things that are growing. The freshness of the flowers, fruits and veggies at the Farmers Markets. Nature at peak bloom in these parts where we have such long winters, the summers just seem to zoom by to fast. Hope that you are having a wonderful summer Ali.
Cheers,
Tamara

This may sound odd but free time is inspiring me lately. Having a few moments to just sit and be and think are what I have needed to become inspired.

I get so much inspiration from nature these days. Espesially the forrest, the smell, the light, just the feeling of calmness there is inspiring.

Inspiring me lately has been nature... we just came back from a week of vacation in a state park and everyday we hiked and biked and went swimming in a beautiful place... how can that not inspire us :)

I am inspired by creation! Specifically, the walk that my husband, two boys and I took yesterday down at the river bottom. The different shades of green and brown, the sun's rays shining through the tree's canopy, the doe's with their fawns bounding through the tall grass and canola fields, watching from on top the coulee as the river winds through the landscape. To me, that is inspiring. It was so beautiful and I took so many pictures that I am going to put together a mini book just about us and nature.

Lately, I am being inspired by using my computer more on my layouts. I guess I am moving toward a more hybrid scrapbook page even though I have tons of traditional scrapbook supplies.
