Melissa - Aussie mum, digital scrapbooker and crafter
I am so excited to share this great giveaway with you - you can win an all access pass to True Scrap 3 - valued at $147!
Read on to hear why I am so thrilled to be involved this year, and how you can win!
What a Difference a Year Makes
Last year I was so excited to attend True Scrap, I loved having access to awesome instructors who would never visit our city all that way over in Australia.
I was able to attend several classes live, while my little girl was napping in the next room. Being a busy mum, I did miss some of the classes - but of course I had access to all the handouts and recordings to watch later.
The Student...
I learnt so much - from how to create embellishment gatherings, to photography tips, to information on earning money from scrapbooking. In fact, the site you see today is part of the October 2011 True Scrap fallout! From Lain's class I learnt a lot about running scrapbooking classes and have run them successfully in my home town for the past year.
Becomes the Teacher...
Finish What You Start

The Perfect Collection by Shimelle Laine – although all the classes look fantastic x
They all look like fun classes, but I think Pack Your Bag with Cara Miller sounds interesting.
Scrapping Green by Susan Weckesser sounds like fun!
Thanks for the chance, I can’t wait for the Katrina Kennedy Class.
I Liked Digital Scrapbooking HQ on Facebook.
I’m following you on Twitter.
I’d really don’t want to miss Becky Higgins’ keynote address.
i dont want to miss shimelle’s collection kit class
I’m looking forward to your class as I have so many unfinished projects!
OMG…I can’t just pick ONE…too hard of a choice although I do REALLY love Becky Higgins. Thanks for the opportunity.
Wow! What awesome classes! To tell you the truth, your finish what you start class sounds perfect for me. My husband of 17 years and 1 day passed away just a couple of months ago and it seems like my entire motivation, inspiration and passion for this craft has died, too. I need something to jump start me again and get all these projects finished AND give me the inspiration hat my husband always provided.
Oh Terry I am sorry for your loss – I’ll be excited to have you join us if you win!
Just get it on the page by Kellie Crowe looks great!
So hard to pick one, but I would say Noell’s class as she always has such interesting perspectives on things! Thanks for the chance to win as I can’t afford it this year and have been seriously bumming!

I need Karina Kennedy’s Low light class
I’d love to attend Kelli Crowe’s class, Just get it on the Page. Definitely struggling with this at the moment!
I sure don’t want to miss your class! and Mixed Media Home Accents and Artsy Effects, and Scrapping Green and… oh – well, you can see that I REALLY want to attend! Thank you so very much for the chance to win.
I enjoyed the video. I didn’t realize ALL the fun classes that will be going on. I really can’t decide on just one! And I KNOW I definitely need your “Finish What You Start”! And Anna’s Artsy class…have been a HUGE fan of her art pallettes, and Katrina’s class on Low Light, and……..well, you see, I just can’t pick one. I would soooo love to attend True Scrap for my first time.
Thank you so much Melissa for sharing so many chances to win a seat. I’ll be going NUTS until Sunday! I hope I win I hope I win I hope I win. LOL
Good luck everybody!!
Oh i love them all, but i think the first two would be fantastic….thanks for the chance
Some great class choices. Leaning towards the low lighting class.
Okay, I shared the giveaway on Facebook. I tweeted it and I clicked the Like button here, AND I’m following you on Twitter. Actually I THINK I already was. It’s been awhile since I’ve been on twitter, but geez……can you tell I want a seat at True Scrap?? LOL
Aside from your class, when the lights are low looks fantastic too! Thanks for the chance to win!
I would love to see Shimelle Laine’s class “The Perfect Collection”. I love Shimelles approach so this would be great. Thanks for the opportunity.
Finish What You Start… I look forward to all of them!

Thanks!

Low Light photography by Katrina Kennedy.
Nichol’s and Shimelle’s classes!
I am following on twitter.
I’m not sure how I could just pick one favorite
I guess I don’t want to miss the more stamping with scrapbook but I really don’t want to miss the creative journaling one . . . oh boy I don’t want to miss any 
Thanks for the chance to win! I think the Artsy class would be my choice!
I would love to win since I wouldn’t be able to afford the class on my own. My husband is still unemployed which makes taking classes & buying supplies pretty hard.
Hi there! I did all of the above: joined the group on flickr (will post some pages soon), am now a twitter follower, tweeted about the giveaway, facebooked the giveaway, like the Facebook page….
I want to win!! Shimelle’s and Ana Cabrera’s class look awesome! Thanks for the chances to win.
They all sound like wonderful classes and it’s really hard to choose. If I only had to choose one it would have to be Finish what you start. I have a few unfinished projects and a few projects I’m not quite happy with how they turned out.
What a great event – can’t wait to attend! I’m looking forward to all the classes, but Katrina Kennedy’s Low-Light Photography is one I’m really excited about.
Without a doubt I need your finish what you start class. I have 5 trip albums started and none are finished
Thanks for the chances to win 
Blending Secrets from Tiffany Tillman. Thanks for the chance!
I am excited about all the classes for TS3! I think that Nichol Magourik’s class looks interesting. I appreciate the opportunity to win a spot! I liked your blog post about how you contacted Lain. Your class also sounds great too! I am off to tweet, Facebook, flicker and share your blog for more chances to win a spot in this cool event ;). Diane
finish what u start, but all the classes look great. thanks for the chance. debbbie
What great opportunity – Finish What you Start is where I need the most help!
I cannot choose between Low Light Photography and Finish What You Start, so I guess I need them both!
More Stamping on Scrapbook Layouts by Nichol is SO on my Radar! LOL!
Looks like an absolutely wonderful line-up. Your class looks VERY
interesting too and right up my alley! Congrats on the debut at True Scrap and thanks
for the chance to win!!!!
I liked you FB.
I have joined the Flickr group.
I shared it on FB.
I apparently can’t do the Google +1 because I’m at work (shhhh…..) and can’t “upgrade”, and I don’t do Twitter, so hopefully my entries are enough to have me win!
So many of these classes sound like they could help me. I am going to have to go with photographing in low light for right now though. I have had some issues with this recently and would love to get some pointers. Thanks.
I joined your flikr group and liked you on facebook. Now I can get even more scrapping ideas. Thanks.
I am looking forward to TrueScrap3. I really enjoyed the last one and there was so much to learn. Which classes am I looking forward to? All of them really as I will learn something new from each one of them. Glitter and Geeketry – a minibook for your digital world with Ana Cabrera sounds very interesting to me.
Your class sounds fabulous! Who doesn’t have unfinished projects lying around just waiting for inspiration, or motivation, to strike!
I have to say that given my lack of mojo of late and the stack of unfinished projects I have laying around I think I really need your class. Finish What You Start needs to be my new mantra! Thanks for the chance to win a spot!
And I liked you on FB!
Finish What You Start i’m so bad at that… but all classes look awesome
I would love a free opportunity to attend the True Scrap event. I love anything by Anna Cabrera and Noell Hymann, but I really would like to see Scrappin Green by Susan Weckesser and your class, Finish What You Start. I have so many unfinished projects that really need to be DONE!
I love your site and upcoming classes. I wish to win due to finanical restraints, but all the classes sound good esp creating flowers. I am a flower lover esp within my scrapbooking
I would be thrilled to take the photography class by Katrina Kennedy, but I’m also very interested in adding some digi to my paper… so I think I like Artsy Effects for Hybrid Pages.
I so need this information. I have a bazillion projects started and another bazillion projects in my head!
I would love to see Shimelle’s class (The Perfect Collection) and Kelli Crowe’s class (Just Get it on the Page) but honestly, they all look great! Thanks for the chance to win!
Wow there are a number of classes talking to me, but if I had to pick just one I’d choose Just Get it on the Page! with Kelli Crowe
All the classes look amazing and I would love to win a chance to take them! The ones I’m most excited about are yours (I have definite completion issues and it’s a goal for me this year to complete any albums I’ve already started so good advice is really welcome;-), Jennifer Gallacher’s and Nichol Magouirk’s.
I liked your Digital Scrapbooking facebook and posted about the giveaways on facebook (as Ruth Suttie Gauss.)
It’s hard to choose, but I think Jumpstart Your Art
So hard to choose! All of the classes look great – Just Get It On the Page! seems to really be speaking to me right now.
I would absolutely love to attend Becky Higgins’ class! Omigosh! How cool! I am currently unemployed and when I saw this opportunity to try and win, I was allllll over it! Thanks for the chance! xo, Candi in Colorado (candice1973(at)comcast(dot)net

I would love the Pack your Bags Cricut class. Love, love, love my cricut!
Glitter & Geekery with Ana Cabrera looks fun! I also ‘liked’ your FB page.
I love the vast variety; they all sound interesting. Katrina’s class would be very helpful to me. Thanks for the chance to win.
Alot of the classes look great, but I would miss Shimelle’s class, using your kit to the end
Wow thanks for all the extra chances. I liked the digital scrapbook page on Facebook
I posted this chance to win true scrap on your bog, on Facebook
And last I have joined your Flickr group and signed up for more info on your digital workshop so I can create something to share! Digital is all new to me
That’s a hard choice They all look great but I guess I’d say Jumpstart Your Art or the planning class
I have to pick just one? I’m really interested in “Just Get It On the Page! Finally scrapbooking those photos and stories you’ve had lying around forever”. Seriously, I have thousands of photos just waiting to be scrapped.
This is something I would LOVE! I really would like Nichol’s class. I want to learn more about stamping on layouts. Thanks for the chance.
I shared on FB.
I’m really looking forward to Shimelle’s class about using your favorite collection pack to the very last scrap. I’ve put together a bunch of pack of my own plus the ever growing stacks that I continue to purchase. I never know what to do with the leftover scraps. Can’t wait!
When the lights are low by Katrina. Thanks so much for the chance to win
Liked on Face book
I would not want to me miss The Word Art Wizardry. It sparks my interest because I really need a lot of help in the creative writing department.
Thanks for the chance to attend true Scrap!! I really wouldn’t want to miss any, but if I had yo choose it would be The Creative Journaling!! Thanks again!
I have liked Digital Scrapbooking HQ on Facebook!
I am also following Following DigiScrapHQ on Twitter!
I am especially drawn to Katrina Kennedy’s “low light photography” class, but having said that, there are many I won’t want to miss.
They all sound groovy, but for me sitting before you is a scraphappy scoot that needs to make the most of all my saved up for something special supplies that are having to be resusitated into an alternative state of fabulousness, so for me Scrapping Green would be a sanity saver.
Gayle – you make me laugh! 10 points for creativity!
All the classes sound great – I am interested in Katrina Kennedy’s “low light photography”, Thanks for the chance to win
Of course, your class is what I “need”, but I have to say I want all of them. I suppose in this same thinking – Nichol’s class would help me use what I have – more stamps than I care to admit.
Low Light Photography for sure (how many times do we want to take photos of the kiddos and the lighting is just terrible?) and Finish what you start — I truly have dozens of projects in some state of started that need to get to to “finished”!! Thanks for the chance to win a spot!
I also liked your page on FB!
Shimelle, Kelli Crowe, Cara Miller, Noell, OH MY! I seriously don’t think I could choose one…which means I need to win the class and take them ALL!!Thanks!
Tough choice!! But I think “Finish What You Start” would have to be the one. I have so many UFO’s. I would hate to see a list of them all. My one goal for 2012 is to finish 12 projects that were started before 2012. Perhaps this class would be just the help I need! Thanks for the opportunity!
Hi Melissa,
WOW! How generous of you. I LOVE the look of this class and It looks worth every Penny. However, as a Pensioner it is still way out of my Budget. Anyway, I have Shared this link on Facebook and also through my Pinterest Boards and also my Various Crafting Groups mostly Yahoo. Unfortunately I do not have a Twitter account and don’t quite understand how it works. So hopefully I have done enough and of course would be looking forward to your Class, but I especially like the look of “Jumpstart your Art” and “Just Get It On The Page”. Many thanks both for this Giveaway and all you have taught me since I subscribed to you some time ago…….
I started out as a stamper, but really have not carried that over into my pages, so I would not want to miss Nichol’s Stamping on Scrapbook LO’s class.
I shared on Facebook.
OH I forgot to tell you that I joined the Flickr group too. Lol.
oh would love to Blending Secrets: Seamless Digital Blending but theyall sound great
The Scrapping Green seems like a fun class to me. Thanks for a chance to win. jeannett_mcgee@comcast.net
I have already signed up and this will be my first True Scrap. I’m excited. I love digital scrapbooking so I can’t wait to learn about Blending Secrets with Tiffany and Artsy Effects with Anna. I also love Noell & Nichol so I’m looking forward to their classes…..as well as yours. I was at the Webinar this month and found you!
Interested in too many to just choose one! I love Shimelle’s classes and Jennifer’s and Nicole’s so I guess they are my top 3. Thanks for a chance to win a spot.
Man! This is a hard choice! I guess I would have to say Blending Secrets with Tiffany Tillman. I need all of the digital help I can get! Thanks for the chance to win!
I’m looking forward to Katrina Kennedy’s low light photography class as well as Shimelle’s.
Wow! All the class look so amazing and it’s so hard to choose. I gues it would have to be “When the Lights are Low: Low-Light Photography” by Katrina Kennedy and Blending Secrets: Seamless Digital Blending by Tiffany Tillman. Many thanks for the chance to win a spot!
I’ve just liked ‘Digital Scrapbooking HQ’ on FB.
They all seem to be so great, but I could really need some project planning skills.
Finish What you Start would be my pick of course. I’ve got lots of starts going on here and a few finishes. Also would enjoy Anna’s class. I haven’t digiscrapped for awhile and would like to get back into it.
I’d love to take all of it, but Low Light Photography really hits the spot!
I would like either Just Get It on the Page! by Kelli Crowe or Glitter & Geeketry: A Mini Album by Ana Cabrera.
I love Shimelle and Cara Miller. Thanks for the opportunity!
Katrina Kennedy’s Low-Light Photography class is at the top of my list. Thanks to you and Lain for the chance to win a spot in True Scrap 3!
I’ve retweeted the giveaway!
I’ve Plus 1-ed it on Google!
And I’ve shared it on my BSS Facebook page!
I like stamping with Nichol. Thanks for a chance to win!
It all looks like fun, but I have to say I enjoy anything Shimelle does, so I’ll pick her class on The Perfect Collection. Thanks for the chance to win!
Shimelle’s class! I love her philosophy on paper!
It’s hard to pick just one but I think it would be Noell’s
I’m looking forward to so many of the classes! Shimelle’s and Katrina Kennedy’s look great though, as does this one! I have a big problem finishing projects, this class should definately help with that!
They ALL sound fantastic! But I think I definitely want to make sure I “attend” the Mixed Media Home Accents…and…Just Get it on the Page…and…Finish what you start…how can I choose just one? =) Thanks so much for the chance to win a spot at True Scrap 3!
I am particularly interested in Flower Frenzy, Low-Light Photography, and Artsy Effects for Hybrid Pages. The reason I’m not signing up, even though True Scrap looks like so much fun, is that it’s an awful lot of money, and I’m not interested in many of the classes. If only we could sign up for individual classes, or maybe buy a 3-class or 5-class pass.
I am really really really really want to see Shimelle’s class!!
Anna comes a close second for me
Thanks.

I would love to finish all of the projects I have sitting around my house and swirling in my head! I will be tweeting and Facebooking! I do both traditional and digital and need to learn more about digi, for sure!
I love the idea of “green crafting” thanks!
As for those UFO’s …… I definately have a cupboard of those to fix….and plan ahead so they don’t come back!
