My husband inspires me. He changed jobs at the scariest of times, becoming an LA city Firefighter. His determination and passion for what he is now doing has inspired me to focus on my own passion 100%, my photography.
Thanks!

Very inspired by fabric and clothing lately... all the cool modern decorative pillows and wall hangings. And I'm always inspired by nature...anything woodgrain makes me want to duplicate it and translate it to a layout or project these days!

Lately I've been inspired by Jennifer McGuire's thinking inking series on 2Peas. Want to perfect the distress ink techniques for making bright papers muted and shabby looking. Great way to use my stash that would have never been played with.

My children are always a wonderful source of inspiration. It is so awesome to see the world through the eyes of a child on a daily basis. It makes me remember all the little things in life that are so very important.

I always love visiting your blog ... its inspiring in itself!
But right now I've been really inspired by the group of women I have met since I started crafting ... their impact in my life has gone far beyond paper, ink and embellishments. They are the type of ladies who make you want to be a better person. :-)

So inspired by making my own organic baby food right now. Wishing I had felt like planting my usual veggie garden, but I was 9 months pregnant at the time and just not up for it. Ever so happy that my father planted his and he is thrilled to share his veggies with our little one. This has been such a rewarding experience.

Sorting through my grown childrens' favorite childhood books has me inspired to create mini albums based on some of the simple themes, repetitions and great colors that were used.
Thanks for a terrific giveaway Ali!

I'm inspired a lot by everything you do Ali, but right now especially by your «Lucky girl» project that was published in the November 2006 issue of CK. I think it's an easy and effective way to put emphasis on nice things in my life after having harder times.
