Spring Training: Want to get into shape for free?

Are you ready for another giveaway?

I’ve got one place in Ella Publishing’s Spring Training Event to give to a reader!

Why I’m excited about Spring Training

Spring Training is a video based training week that will give us bite-sized exercises (that are totally achievable) and will help get us all scrapbooking.

I totally love video classes – easy to watch on my computer while I craft on the table (or lately the floor!) and watch. I also love that they never expire so I can catch up in my own time.

Of course I’m excited to be learning and I love that the challenges will be practical and help me create meaningful layouts… did I mention I managed 29 layouts in February thanks to challenges?

We will also get to meet and greet participants and coaches at the four chats throughout the week.

Oh and how much is it? Just $44.99

So who’s involved

Ella has put together a great team of coaches to take us through the week until International Scrapbooking Day!

Erin Cobb, Your Photography Coach
Wendy Smedley, Your Organization Coach
Nichol Magouirk, Your Techniques Coach
Lisa Dickinson, Your Design Coach
Tami Morrison, Your Scrapbooking Fitness Coach

The Giveaway!

I’ve got one place to give away. So spill… what do you want to get out of a scrapbooking event? Socialising? Completed layouts? New techniques?

Share in the comments by April 6 and I’ll announce a winner on April 7 – my 30th birthday!

The Giveaway

My special giveaway this month is a brand spanking new Ella Publishing ebook on Stamping - scroll to the post below to enter!

The Prompt

We were asked to take 9 photos over the month to document/express our word. Even though I’ve not taken a lot of photos this month, I managed to find 9 that represented what I’m focusing on right now. I just should have found a photo of Phill to include!

I am sure I’m missing a few focus points (eg faith and sewing) but I like this reminder of what my life is about right now!

I'm so excited to share with you that I've been invited to teach at True Scrap 3! I'm the only Aussie instructor and I'd love to see some fellow Simple Aussie Girls there!

Prevent writer's block by using journalling you have already
Finish pages faster by keeping your process simple
