Sponsor Giveaways | The Mother Load, Summer Card Camp 2011

GIVEAWAY | One person will receive a spot in Lain Ehmann's upcoming 13-week online class at Big Picture Classes: The Mother LOAD: A Scrapbook Marathon

SPECIAL OFFER | In addition to receive $20 off of The Mother LOAD use code: load2011

Are you a marathon scrapbooker? Do you want to be? As crazy as it may sound, scrapbookers have a lot in common with runners. Both can run into the same problems – lack of time, isolation, a routine that has become more of a drudgery than a help. The good news? You can easily overcome these obstacles.

No, Lain won’t make you run 26.2 miles in just a few hours – but she will challenge you to scrapbook 26 layouts in 26 days! Through The Mother LOAD - A Scrapbook Marathon, part of the 4Experts series for 2011, Lain will show you how committing to making scrapbooking a priority in your life will help you:


  • Scrapbook faster

  • Love your pages more

  • Actually USE your stash

  • Connect with what you love best about this hobby of ours


The first two months of class will be spent on “basic training” to increase your stamina, refine your process, and get you mentally and physically ready for the ultimate challenge: creating a layout a day for the first 26 days of September. After you cross the finish line, there will be time for reflection – and celebration!

For more information, and to register, please visit The Mother LOAD.

    My inspiration for scrapping this week came from Lain herself. I am a member of ScrapHappy, and she provided a 15-minute layout that I scraplifted. The link is scraphappy.org which is a members only site.

    I am inspired by God's perfect timing. My husband has been a stay at home dad for 2.5 years and just recently he received call to interview for a position at a company that he has wanted to work at for some time. This just happens to be around the same time that we are enrolling our sons in preschool. God is so awesome.

    Thanks for the chance to win these incredible classes Ali.

    Both classes sound fantastic thanks for the chance to win. Inspiration is always a fantastic prize to receive. One thing that inspired me was your decision to have no TV during the summer (http://aliedwards.com/2011/06/around-here-5.html#more-12790), something I may look at doing during our summer school holidays.

    I would LOVE to win either of these - both sound so great! I could really use the help of the LOAD class.

    I have been working on getting ideas for some layouts and I found your post Ali on how you created the layout "go, seek, find" very inspiring http://aliedwards.com/2011/06/studio-ae-blog-hop-june.html

    If only I could find a way to burn the same number of calories, it would be almost as great as hitting the Lotto!

    Both classes sounds so inspiring. I have been really inspired lately by Donna Downey's inspiration Wednesday posts. She is so artistic - watching her videos makes me want me to get out paints and get messy.

    I was really inspired by Kristina's FF card this week. I'm new to papercrafting, so I don't have a lot of embellishments, etc.
