I have a birthday coming up, on Thursday October 7th to be exact. I thought I would start celebrating early, and do a few blog candy giveaways this week! Fun for me, fun for you!
Today's packet includes 36 sheets of 6x6 paper (Melissa Frances and Provo), a Bundle of Joy cling set (Whipper Snapper), a journal block stamp (Fancy Pants), a packet of butterfly notecards and a "make a wish" sentiment stamp (Memory Box).
If you would like to be entered into the drawing for this set of goodies, please leave a comment on this post. I'd like to know your favorite place to find inspiration for creating your own projects. Do you have a favorite site, or magazine, or catalog, or maybe something entirely different, that you go to for ideas, inspiration, or just for crafty fun? If you can, leave a link so we can check it out!
I'll be choosing one name from the comments on Monday, October 4th at 9:00pm AM! Central -- be sure you leave your name!
If I had to pin it down to one, my major source of inspiration is from crafting friends in the papercrafts groups I belong to.
I'm a bit of a butterfly and get my inspiration from here and there and everywhere.
Three of my fave blogs are http://www.amazingpapergrace.com/
http://selmasstampingcorner.blogspot.com/
http://ikkiscuttlebugcupboard.blogspot.com/
Magazine wise, my fave is one that is sent from the UK - Craft Stamper.
Happy Birthday and thanks so much for inviting us to join in the celebrations.

I hope you have a wonderful birthday! Thanks for the chance to win some fun!!!
Posted by: Susan Spears | October 04, 2010 at 05:26 AM
It is so exciting to have a birthday coming up!
The place to go for me is Splitcoast... everything you need in one place.
Posted by: Carmen | October 04, 2010 at 05:13 AM
Oh how cool it would be to win a set of your stamps! I get inspired each and every morning by visiting all the blogs I follow like yours. I sit on the sofa with my coffee and iPad and go to all the blogs that I'm signed up to follow. By the time I'm done, I'm excited to go to my craft room and get started!
Posted by: Kathy Martin | October 04, 2010 at 04:55 AM
Happy early birthday! I stalk many many blogs for inspiration, including yours! I hang on to every Papercrafts mag too.
Posted by: Toni K | October 04, 2010 at 04:52 AM
HB Anna! I get most of my inspiration from blogs and galleries....the sources are endless and I'm in awe of all the creative goodness out there!!!
Posted by: laura j | October 04, 2010 at 04:33 AM
Happy Birthday, Anna! You have one of those blogs that are contageous. I check your blog, then I tell my DD what is happening, she opens it at work and all of those girls in North Jersey know what you are up to. She then tells her brother and he opens it at work so the court house in Deleware sees all the antics of the farm. Lastly, I tell DH (he is a farmer at heart) when he gets home and he shares it the next day with his office. And so on, and so on, .......
You just keep us all smiling!

Happy Birthday, Ana! Yours is the same day as mine; too funny! I'm getting all of my presents early this year, so I'll give you your greetings early, too!
My inspiration comes from reading my favorite blogs, including yours, and from working in my studio, looking at my stamps and designer papers. I hate to admit it, but I also dream about color combos, too, that stick with me when I wake.
Posted by: Zanne | October 04, 2010 at 02:39 AM
I LOVE that stamp set - especially the sailboat. I'm pretty partial to SCS - it's a wonderful site and that's how I met YOU!! :)

Since I've never done this sort of thing before but am interested in winning so I can try, I guess you'd be safe in assuming that YOU are my inspiration!

My main inspiration comes from the 100 plus blogs that I follow. I pick and choose an element from someone's design that I love and try to do something like that. Of course I just CASE too. I get inspired by what other people share what they have done. Thanks everyone.

I enjoy checking out a number of popular blogs but find myself always looking for yours and I love all of the farm info you share from Bad Boxcar Betty, what the chickens are up to, sharing in Daisy's birthday (and yours) to the dog cookie recipes. It is such a nice blend that I feel like I am hearing from a friend as well as learning about new products, techniques and ideas.
Posted by: Sue O | October 03, 2010 at 05:03 PM
HAPPY BIRTHDAY ANNA......I love your blog as I like hearing what is going on at the farm. I get my inspiration from blogs and the great outdoors, love seeing all the beautiful colors of fall. I live on a farm also. Happy stamping!

Posted by: Gabriela | October 03, 2010 at 03:03 PM
As so many have mentioned, I look at Split Coast and at blogs. I get so many things swimming around in my head that I often dream about cards. Your blog is eye candy that feeds both my card imagination and my love for farm animals and country scenes. I also subscribe to "Country" magazine from Rieman Publications. No ads, just anecdotes and breathtaking photography.
Posted by: Carolyn Sue Groves | October 03, 2010 at 02:51 PM
Happy early Birthday!!! My inspiration usually comes from the bagillion blogs and websites I have bookmarked on my computer.

Posted by: Gwen | October 03, 2010 at 02:12 PM
Like most everyone here I get a lot of ideas and inspiration from viewing the blogs of some very creative people that share their projects on-line. I too view a lot of blogs when I can. One of my favorites is Paperfections. Another is Mel Stampz. I also get inspiration for magazines (mostly advertising), commercial cards, nature, and cool stores (like Anthropology and Urban Outfitter). Happy birthday to you...too...almost! I hope you love having a Fall birthday. Mine is September, but I have 3 family members who have October birthdays...Fall is a beautiful time of year and October is one of the most beautiful months of Fall. Thanks for the chance to win this great blog candy.
Posted by: Kathy | October 03, 2010 at 01:33 PM
Happy Birthday!! Thank you for celebrating by sharing with us...
Similar to other posters I get inspiration from Splitcoast Stampers and lots of great blogs (yours among them). I also try to support my local Stamp Store (Angela's Happy Stamper) and they have lots of great cards on their walls (so each to take a cell phone picture!).
Thanks again!
Posted by: Chris | October 03, 2010 at 01:25 PM
Happy early birthday, Anna! I get most of my inspiration from blogs...I have far too many in my feed reader though! I also love watching for color trends in magazines.

Posted by: Carol Dee | October 03, 2010 at 12:35 PM
Happy birthday, early! I'm not really a very creative person on my own. I have to depend on my favorite blogs and publications to help me out. Thanks for the chance at the blog candy!
Posted by: Carolyn Gargus | October 03, 2010 at 12:26 PM
Happy Birthday! I love to go to Pier 1 Imports for inspiration. All of the textures, colors and patterns just give me so much to think about.
And of course your blog offers a LOT of inspiration!!

Posted by: Sharon Swindell | October 03, 2010 at 12:09 PM
Happy Birthday! Thanks for the chance to win.
I get a lot of inspiration just browning my google reader. I follow a "few" blogs, and they seem to keep me inspired enough to mush everything together in my head and come up with something of my own.
Of course, yours is one of the first that I go to, no matter how many new posts I have in reader. :)
Posted by: Lisa | October 03, 2010 at 11:46 AM
Happy Birthday week! :D Hope your week is full of fun and lots of presents! LOL I tend to find inspiration in lots of places. I peruse through stamping magazines, books, blogs, company websites and Facebook. Once in awhile I will start with a certain stamp or paper and go from there. BTW, my nephew's birthday is Wed. and my FIL's birthday is Friday. I had to make masculine cards which are always the hardest. Thanks for a chance to win this set which I have always liked but never bought.
Posted by: Janet Sisk | October 03, 2010 at 11:45 AM
SplitCoastStampers is usually my inspiration except that once I get there its hard to leave and I don't get anything done. LOL! Anyone else have that problem?
Posted by: Susan Z | October 03, 2010 at 11:43 AM
I have a long list of Favorite blogs and when time permits I check them all out. Every blog has a talented artist and their styles are all different. Seeing all these wonderful creations sparks my MOJO as I regularly find something that calls my name. Thanks to all you gals who give so much of your time and talent to share with us. Ann Lind
Posted by: Ann Lind | October 03, 2010 at 11:42 AM
Well, Happy Early Birthday! Wow! Would I ever love to have this bunch of goodies. Adorable stamp set. I would have to say that my inspiration comes from everywhere but mostly from the beautiful creations of other stampers.
Posted by: SueB | October 03, 2010 at 11:39 AM
What a good way to celebrate, and happy birthday to you :-) I use to sit down to relax and enjoy one of my Magnolia Ink Magazines, and then I usually find an idea to use :-)http://www.magnoliaink.nu/contents/en-us/front.html
Posted by: RitaK | October 03, 2010 at 11:33 AM
Hope you have a great birthday!! Oh my goodness I check out so many blogs on a daily basis,copy and paste cards I adore and then I copy their designs with little tweaks here and there to make them my own. Your blog is exciting because you design your own stamps.
Thanks for the chance to win a great stamp set.
Posted by: Mary Lou Kemp | October 03, 2010 at 11:29 AM
Happy Birthday! I love the Bumdle of Joy stamp set.
Posted by: Gail S. | October 03, 2010 at 11:29 AM
My inspiration comes from all the bogs I visit, including yours, crafting magazines like Paper Crafting and just looking out my stamp room window at all God has provided for us. Our farm home sits on top of a hill and I can see many wonderful sights. Wishing you (a little in advance) a wonderful birthday week/month and year!
Posted by: Darlene L | October 03, 2010 at 11:29 AM
Happy birthday, Anna! One of my favorite places for inspiration is the Bed Bath and Beyond flyer that comes in my mailbox every couple of weeks. I'm frequently inspired by the bedding ensembles they feature.
Posted by: michelle l | October 03, 2010 at 11:25 AM
Happy Birthday to you Anna, I too use blogs and SCS for inspiration but I can also find inspiration almost anywhere, outdoors, shopping, looking at a magazine.
My mind is always thinking about how I can use a color palate or design in a card.
Posted by: Pam | October 03, 2010 at 11:20 AM
Happy Birthday to YOU! This celebration candy is fabulous. I get inspiration from Paper Craft Magazine, SCS and blogs. There are so many creative and inspiring crafters out in blogland! Thanks for a chance.

Posted by: Zena B. | October 03, 2010 at 11:05 AM
Happy Early Birthday, Anna ... wishing you many, many, many more to come!
My inspiration comes from Designer Paper. I find a package in my stash that tickles my fancy for a project and then I create from there. The DP could have animals, flowers, baby stuff...whatever...I then gather C/S to match, sentiment stamps, ribbons, embellishments and voila, a newly completed project!
Posted by: bonnie weiss | October 03, 2010 at 10:57 AM
First of all, happy birthday, and MANY more to come! :) I have a very "special" source of inspiration, my friend Jane. We "met" on a paper crafting website about 5 years ago. She is from Texas, I am from Illinois. I was hosting swaps, but then after I quit at that site, we continued on swapping with each other. I have saved her things in binders and boxes. Whenever I need inspiration, I go to them and not only does her work inspire me, her friendship makes me feel good, too!
Posted by: Cindy J. | October 03, 2010 at 10:41 AM
Wishing you a Happy Birthday!!
When I first started stamping in '07 I discovered Splitcoaststampers and started doing some of the challenges-great inspiration for a newbie. I still do some of the challenges and follow several blogs-have been enjoying trying CAS cards lately.
Posted by: Bev J. | October 03, 2010 at 10:31 AM
Happy, Happy Birthday to You!! For inspiration I have a list of blogs I try to go to daily and your's is one of them. I, also, look forward to reading your blog for the latest on your animals, veggies, etc. In fact, I sometimes forward your entries to a friend of mine that has a 7 year old son that loves bugs! Splitcoast and magazines are other places I go for inspiration.
Posted by: Bonnie B | October 03, 2010 at 10:28 AM
