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.

Going to Crossfit with my two daughters and watching them give their heart and sole into the workout and wanting to "capture" their determination

This might sound dorky, but I was inspired this week by my to-do list. I have a lot to get finished, and having a list really helped me to get through it!
I've also been loving Pinterest. I use it mostly to keep a visual catalog of my own bookmarks, which means that I'm seeing them and trying the ideas I've found all over the web!
Thank you for the giveaways!

I was inspired this week because of an important deadline coming. My niece is coming to live with us for a while, and I was inspired to learn what a 15 year old girl likes (I have boys!) and how I an decorate her room to be fun and welcoming.

Honestly? Not feeling very inspired at all these days--maybe a class would help? ;-)

I scrap a few times a year and do a "marathon" approach and scrap ALL day long for a weekend when I can squeeze it in. This class sounds like it's right up my alley!!

I have looked at the Summer Card Camp just yesterday. Sounds like so much fun and I totally could use some inspiration.
This past week I have been stalking Donna Downey's blog and she has me obsessed with poppies!!

what inspired me this week was watching my children reconnect with precious friends, catching those wonderful moments on camera, and thinking about how to document this memory

Awesome giveaways!
I just heard about the summer card camp the other day, it sounds great! I did a LOAD challenge with Laine a few years back and loved it, not sure if I could do it now with a new one on the way any day now :) but we can try.
Thanks Ali!
