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 was inspired by this post on Shimelle.com (http://www.shimelle.com/paper/1075/10-things-june-2011/). I like the idea of scrapbooking about the same 10 things every month. I think this could end up to be a little treasure in the future. Thanks for an opportunity to win. Have a great weekend.

I would love to win the Mother LOAD because I am so so far behind in my girls scrapbooks. I would love the opportunity to be forced to finally get everything out and start working on them. I have been looking for inspiration to record my daughters birth story and found it in your documentation of Anna's birth story. I love it!!! It is a very discreet way to tell the story with out really showing it to everybody. Thanks!

I am inspired by my son's courage. He is starting college next week and with his learning disabilities it will be challenging. He is determined to do it and I am so proud of his bravery, facing his fears and doing it anyway.
I would love to win the cardmaking class. Sounds like fun! Thanks for the chance to win.

My inspiration lately has been my new laundry room/stamp storage. Here are 3 pictures of the room: http://www.twopeasinabucket.com/gallery/member/312011-mm786/1741452-stamp-storage-in-laundry-room/
I LOVE seeing all my birthday stamps on display as well as sorting the others into categories. I found so many old stamps that I had forgotten, but still love. The room has inspired me to create a tons of cards and that in turn has helped me overcome some negative feelings from getting laid off and cleared my scrapbooking block.
Wining a class would be a wonderful extravagance for me right now. Thanks for the chance to play.

Funnily enough, today I was inspired reading about a father/son team who compete together in marathons. The son is a quadriplegic and his father pushes in a wheelchair the length of the races! Helped put some of my "difficulties" into perspective.

I have been inspired this week by the Quilt Sampler magazine for the spring/summer 2011. http://www.etsy.com/listing/72941250/quilt-sampler-magazine-spring-2011 While this is an Etsy site, the fabrics also have peaked my curiosity in what I can do to use a quilt pattern in my scrapbooking. I love all the quilt sampler magazine's that come out! Soooo much fun!

I'm just back from my last "long" training walk before a half marathon next Sunday. Wouldn't it be perfect to win a marathon scrapbook class from this comment?

I stink at link sharing or really much of on-line inspiration, however, this past week I was inspired by something my husband said about my mother, "She is so strong and people don't see it. The strength it takes to stick with it."
