Capture Your Dream Workshop
juliamueller – My mother gave me the trait of creativity. She and her father and brothers were all artists. I have waited for years to try my hand at painting, but have found i actually do have some talent. From my father I got a quiet, loyal nature.

Karin – Why was your name chosen for you?
My father’s father was from Norway, and he had a cousin in Norway that he would talk about named Karin (car-in). My dad always thought it was a pretty name, so that’s what he wanted to name me. I’ve always really liked my name because I haven’t met many others with it and because of my Norwegian heritage being so close to me since I am third generation.

Karin – Which of your mother’s personality traits do you share? Which of your father’s?
My Mom and I both like to keep busy with making things and learning to make things. We’re both scrapbookers and like craft projects. We’re both singers. We like to give gifts to people and read magazines. We love owning our dogs and taking care of them. We love the same TV shows and a lot of the same movies. We both like to collect things and have a hard time letting go of things. We’re curious about our heritage and like to get to know all of our relatives and keep up with them. We like to travel and go to concerts. We both ask a lot of questions.
My Dad and I both like to write and blog about our daily lives and thoughts. We both like things to be orderly and cleaned and planned, yet like to be creative and try new things. We both like to garden and cook. We like to talk music, books, and movies. We’re both very emotional and deep and get upset easily. We’re really good at remembering people, their names and faces and details about their lives.

THE PRIZES
Capture Your Dream Workshop from Creativity Prompt
One winner will receive a Capture Your Dream workshop, which is a 6 weeks long, self-paced course that is designed to help you realize your dream with a unique mix of scrapbooking and self development. There is no “magic” or “secret” involved, but rather a journey of self exploration with guided journaling and inspiration prompts. Think of it as a marked trail for you to walk through towards achieving your dream.
But there’s more to it. Along your journey you will also be making a 6 by 6 mixed media mini album with step by step instructions and printable templates. The mini album is not only there for you to learn a ton of new techniques but also as a bag of motivation for your journey. The workshop is held entirely online and you will be receiving an e-mail with a pdf file every weekday for 6 weeks.
To commemorate National Scrapbooking Day Avital will be offering 50% discount throughout the month of May, dropping down the price from 49.95 USD to just 25 USD. Learn more here.

One winner will receive…
Over the course of one month, Darci Dowdle (Stacy Julian’s little sister) will help you gather specific pictures, papers, and products from your own overflowing stash and you’ll create 13 layouts — a baker’s dozen. Daily emails will tell you how to prepare in a new “egg”-xilarating way and then daily downloads will inspire to you to think outside the “egg carton” and put it all together to get pages done. Let’s get together and whip up some vibrant and meaningful pages! See more here.
THE CHALLENGE
Choose from among the questions below to answer on a layout, a minibook, or an altered book that we will assemble during our iNSD event on Saturday. To enter to win, please share your journaling with us in a comment to this post (not on facebook). This must be new journaling content that you wrote no earlier than when I first posted these questions (meaning, you can’t pull from a layout you’ve made before or journaling you wrote before I posted these questions yesterday).
You have between now and Sunday at midnight to enter. You can enter up to five times (as separate comments). I will choose randomly.
