January 11, 2012 By Melissa Shanhun 13 Comments

ellafriends2012-150x150I’m beyond excited to share the news that I’m an Ella Friend!

Ella Publishing is an ebook publisher for the scrapbooking industry, and has absolutely gorgeous ebooks! If you haven't yet check out any of their books - why not head over and pick up their Free Super Sampler?

I’m joining Elizabeth Dillow (Ella Friends Ringleader)…

 

 

 

 

And 11 other talented ladies (that’s me – top right!)

This year you can expect to see lots of awesome Ella inspiration over here – starting with today’s giveaway!

How do I win?

I’ve got one awesome Take 12 Inspiration Pack to give away – just leave a comment by 8pm EST on the 11th of January to be in the running! I’ll do a random drawing between this post and my blog and contact you later that night (morning my time!) with your access to the Pack.

What is Take Twelve?

The goal of the 2012 Take Twelve Project is to take 12 photos on the 12th day of each month for a full 12 months—and scrapbook them! You can join in the fun any month of the year, but we hope you'll join in starting January 12. Get the scoop at ellapublishing.com/taketwelve.

    Hi Melissa, so good to read that you are one of Ella’s friends now. I really like the idea of Take Twelve. I am considering doing this as well on top of all the other good challenges going on, But committing one day a month to the picture taking is such a different approach. Who knows.

    I would LOVE to win this! I am housebound, and I don’t get inspiration unless it’s from a book, a class or from browsing online. This would certainly help me a lot. Thank you for the chance to win and good luck to everyone!

      It went ok – I’m hoping I actually took 12 photos. I did some on the camera some on the phone, I’m hoping to get the layout done and posted this week 🙂

      I may even have a video to share! 🙂
