I've had so much fun organising the kit and challenges this month and was totally thrilled when scrapbooker extraordinaire Alice Boll agreed to be my Guest Designer. To remind you, Alice runs the Scraphappy community and as part of that organises two month-long LOAD challenges for the public and one LOAD challenge for the community each year during February, May and October.
LOAD and the Counterfeit Kit Challenge are the PERFECT combination. Having kits made up and ready to go which are full of products which I bought because I LOVE them is the best way for me to be successful during a LOAD month. Each day I just grab one of my kits and get creating. I don't have to double guess my product choices because they're mine! They fit my style and I made them up according to my own likes and passions at that time!
Now, if you've never experienced a LOAD month before, you might know what to expect! Scrapbooking every single day for a whole month? Really? Oh yes, and each day is a joy! Believe me.
But if you're not a member of Scrap Happy and haven't yet tried out LOAD, you might want to try out the mini-LOAD which runs this year from 13th to 19th August. It's just a week long but still has all the fun, passion and community that you can expect in a full LOAD.
Alice tells us, "The Layout a Day challenge usually runs for an entire month, with scrapbookers creating a layout daily and sharing it in a private gallery, but a MINI CHALLENGE takes all the fun and puts it into one awesome week of scrapping!
There will be daily video prompts with sample layouts showing how you can use the prompt to tell your stories, prizes and a ton of inspiration.
The best part is that you will DO some scrapbooking!

ReplyDeleteWhat a good idea for trying out Load! Thanks for the chance to win!

ReplyDeleteIt would be fun to try this miniLOAD, it seems much more do-able than the regular LOAD to start with anyway!
ReplyDeleteThank you for offering this giveaway! Sounds like a great start to scrapbooking daily! Alice inspires me and I enjoy her website very much. Also looking forward to learning more about the Counterfeit Kits.
ReplyDeleteI'd love to win this! Thanks for doing this giveaway.
ReplyDeleteGood on you for running this competition. Don't pick me I cost too much to post it.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great way to see what a month long LOAD would be like!
ReplyDeleteI would love to try a mini load challenge! I haven't done any, but I love this Galaxy themed one. So many ideas! I can't wait to see what other people come up with.
ReplyDeleteWow, what a generous offer and this would be a fun LOAD challenge!
ReplyDeleteLOAD is always so fun - I learn a lot about my style and try new ideas. And this would be a nice distraction for me from becoming an empty nester this month!
ReplyDeleteI'm doing this for my granddaughter. Always fun.
ReplyDeleteOne week is doable, and I have been following Alice for years! What a combination.
ReplyDeleteI've always been curious about LOAD and Alice has got me curiouser and curiouser. ;-) Would love a chance to win the spot! Thanks so much for the Giveaway!
ReplyDeleteHave done a few full month loads in Life before Lolly Pop. Perhaps a weeks commitment is just what I need to get active again.
ReplyDeleteYES!
DeleteMini-LOAD sounds amazing and so fun!
ReplyDeleteI have long wondered what a LOAD looked like from the inside, but I never have a whole month at home. But I have checked my calendar and I DO have that week. I would love to try it out.
ReplyDeleteOh, having just spent the weekend sorting lots of old photos, I would love to win a spot in the LOAD mini challenge. I haven't had the pleasure of participating since the early Lain days.
