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.

    I am always inspired by circles. They always seem to catch my eye. This past week my LSS posted this layout. http://thepaperie.wordpress.com/2011/06/06/mojo-monday-prize-challenge/

    I love it and I have been thinking about it all week. I'm happy to share the inspiration.

    Thanks for the chance to win.

    My baby brother has inspired me greatly this week! I arrived in Perth, Australia on Sat and at only four, he is inquisitive and intelligent. He has inspired me to ask greater questions and to be a better person. Thanks for the possibility to win.

    Something that inspired me this weekend was going through photos I took at a recent family reunion and celebrating the love of family and the blessing that I am able to be a part of such a big goofy one! I would love to have the opportunity to take a class. I have been struggling with my scrapbooking and finding motivation and inspiration lately and I think it might be just what I need to get a jump start!

    Thanks and have a blessed week!

    I was inspired by the opportunity to visit the farm that my mother grew up on. It was an amazing experience putting the place to the stories my mom has shared with us over the years.

    Something that is inspiring me is the #30DaysPhoto challenge. I decided to do it for fun and it has been. I get excited to look and see what the 'new' photo of the day is. Both classes sound wonderful.

    I found this story on cocktail dresses at NPR.org inspiring. http://www.npr.org/2011/06/12/137106364/a-spirited-celebration-of-americas-cocktail-culture?sc=fb&cc=fp I don't have occasion to wear a cocktail dress very often but I loved seeing the beautiful colors and styles.

    My inspiration has actually come from us moving. My hubby has already made the move and the kids and I go in a month. The inspiration I have is from my home state. I have been taking pics of everywhere we love so much. From the schools to the restaurants, to products that are specifically Michigan (Faygo, Better Made Potato Chips.) I want to remember where I grew up! I would love to win the marathon class and put my story down somewhere! Thanks for the opportunity.

    I was actually inspired by reading the description of the summer card class. I am not very good at making cards. I'm not a stamper, and I really have to scraplift cards to get them to turn out. I so enjoyed Jennifer's Thinking Inking class a few summers ago and it really inspired me to get in and try some new techniques with my inks. What fun I had! So I thought that this might be a great way to get inspired get some cards made this summer.

    Another fun giveaway, thank you! Sounds like a great summer activity! I found lots of inspiration from my 22 month old this week as I watch her take off from babydom into the darling little babbling sweetie she is.

    I find it funny that this giveaway is for a "marathon". I found this today http://www.dietgirl.org/dietgirl/2011/06/the-amazing-adventures-of-philippa.html and am inspired not to give up and to keep on going.

    I've never taken a class before, but I've been dying to participate in one. Both of these classes sound fun and informative. I'd love to win a spot in either one. {Fingers crossed.}
