A Cool Contest for Scrapbooking Moms

In December, I’m going to be hosting author and professional scrapbooker, Tasra Dawson, who will share ideas for creating adoption scrapbooks.

But I wanted to alert you to a contest Tasra is currently running to celebrate the launch of her new book, Real Women Scrap. Here are the details:

Wanna be in pictures? Ever wonder what it’s like to be on the set of a real Hollywood production? Here’s your chance to receive the star treatment with a free trip to the filming of the Real Women Scrap book trailer! Go behind-the-scenes with a full crew: camera, lights, makeup. You’ll even make a cameo appearance. Are you ready for your close-up?

The Prizes: Five semi-finalists will each receive a $600 prize package including:
One year in Kim Fulcher’s coaching club, Compass Lifestyle Solutions for Women, and an autographed copy of her life-changing and inspirational book, Remodel Your Reality: Seven Steps to Rebalance Your Life and Reclaim Your Passion.
A gift certificate for Stacy Julian’s Library of Memories class at Big Picture Scrapbooking, an international community of teachers, students and friends eager to learn and share via online classes.
Aby Garvey’s Simplify 101 Command Central Binder for organizing your home, life, and schedule.
An autographed copy of Leslie Gould’s new release, Scrap Everything, (WaterBrook/Random House). It’s her third novel—about family, faith, and friendship, with a scrapbooking shop for a little (or a lot) of added fun.
An autograhed copy of Angie Pedersen’s bestselling classic, The Book of Me: A Guide to Scrapbooking About Yourself. This is a guide to help you define what has significantly contributed to your life, and what you value most about your experiences.

The top five finalists, in addition to receiving their $600 prize package, will also have work published in an upcoming Dare Dreamer Press book.

And finally, the grand prize winner will receive a free trip including star treatment and a cameo appearance in the making of the Real Women Scrap book trailer. In addition, the grand prize winner will have work published in an upcoming Dare Dreamer Press book, an organizing needs assessment with organizing expert Aby Garvey, and receive the $600 prize package listed above!
