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 have had my eye on that Mother LOAD class...it seems like a great way to get a lot of scrapbooking projects done and learn how to be more productive with my scrapbooking.

    Etsy always inspires me...here are two treasuries I created this week with tons of inspiring items!

    Wow. I really want to win this one.

    Something that inspired me to bake was this star wars cake. I think I'll tackle it for my son's 6th birthday.

    I have been inspired by pictures my 15yo dd took in March. She took a picture a day for the month. Just out of the blue she decided to do it. I did Project 365 in 2009 but haven't done it last year or this year. I want to scrapbook these memories for her so she can look back at them and see what her everyday life was like in March 2011.
    Also, like many others, pinterest inspires me.

    I pinned this to Pinterest this week: http://fromanigloo.blogspot.com/2010/02/ruffle-jeans-tutorial.html
    I have a skinny little peanut, who, at 4, could easily wear 2T jeans, but they are too short. She wears a lot of leggings for that reason. I don't know why I never thought to do this, but I am no inspired to pull out the jeans that were headed to donation, and give them a new life! Great giveaway! Thanks!
