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 so need Lain's class to kick my scrapbooking bootie into marathon shape!!
I've had a lot of inspiration for my project life not only here at your blog Ali but at several others and you're always linking to great examples.
I was really inspired to add a few more fun bits of things like washi tape, and other journaling cards from listgirl http://www.listgirl.com/2011/06/project-life-2011-may-14th-to-may-27th.html
Thanks Ali

This week (actually all month) I was inspired by Jessica Sprague and her speed scrap challenge! I have done 3 so far - absolutely love the pages! No one would have ever convinced me that I could create a scrapbook page in that short of a time period.
http://www.jessicasprague.com Scroll down on the page just a little bit and there is a pink "ad" telling all about it. Come join us! Ali I am always inspired by your journaling.Thank you for that and thanks for the chance to win!

"you'll never know what you are capable if you don't try," a co-worker told me this past week. Inspired me to apply for a different job! Thanks for the chance.....

Cath, on the Moxie Fab World Blog, had a post this week that I keep going back to. After suddenly losing my husband, I saw the amazing generosity that my blogging friends, people who only knew me online, have. I totally understand what she was saying. I've read it several times this week. Here's the link: http://www.moxiefabworld.com/2011/06/simple-gifts.html
