summer camp and scrapbooking collide? two of my most favorite things, minus the squeaky bunks ;) i would love to really dedicate sometime to scrapping this summer and this would be the perfect 'excuse'!
Because this summer has SO MUCH in store for me, and crafting is my sanity! Because I love exchanging new ideas and learning about design. Because I'm about to put a new scrap room together and need some input!
I desperately need this class since my mojo has run away! :)

I want to take this class just because of the name... I miss summer camp :)
I wanna win cause it's been way to long since I've been to camp! This sounds like lots of fun!
I want to take the class because May is fun and cool! :-D And summer camp was SO fun when I was a kid! LOL. :-)
I could use a week away at camp let alone a month imagine what that would do for my mojo. I misplaced it somewhere almost a year ago and havent seen it anywhere :(
Thank you for the chance to win. What an exciting and generous prize!

I would love a chance to play along with May! She's always got beautiful projects and that would definitely give me some daily inspiration!

Sounds like a fun class and I could use all the help I can get. =)
That sounds like so much fun!!!
I'd love to take this class because I always lose the scrappin groove in the summer and I'd rather not - I have some time - I need the motivation of a class! Thanks.
I love May's classes and I really need some motivation to get scrapping again. This would be the perfect way to spend my summer vacation!
I could definitely use the inspiration boost lately, this sounds like fun!
It sounds like absolute fun, I so need some encouragment to live outside my box of confort.
So fun!
i have never taken a scrapbook class before and I was actually planning on taking some sort of class so I could learn this summer!
ohhhhh this would be great for me! I have not been scrapping and I need a refresher course..and May Flaum??!! wheeeeee my fave! love to win this class.
I'm still a beginner and it would be great to win this free giveaway- and an honor to learn ideas from the esperts. Thanks for the chance to win.
I would love to win this summer Camp class because we can't afford to buy it and I've never tried an on-line class before... I think I could learn how to be a cyber student! And May Flaum! WOW, I love her style and blog...(plus she takes great photos of her CUTEST little girls in the whole world). I have boys, so I can say that. Thank you for the chance to win! Erin~ eringlee @ sbcglobal.net
Why WOULDN'T I want to be a part of this? ;) Plus I'm sure it will help jump start my mojo which happens to be missing right now.
I'd love to learn new things (:
this sounds like SOOOO much fun....and who doesn't love to take classes, there is always so much great new stuff to learn!
Summer camp for some "me" time?! And scrapping inspiration that I desperately need? Would be heaven and a great treat!!
Sounds like alot of fun. After having a baby 2 months ago, I can't seem to get my mojo back. This may be just what I need! :)
OMG This would be the best summer camp ever!
A week at camp sounds wonderful! It would be great to get creativity back into my life!
This would be so awesome for me! Maybe I could get more done~
Lynn
I'm not gonna lie, but seriously who wouldnt want to miss an opportunity to win prizes??? But I've been wanting to take a class so bad and have took 2 free ones but I cant bring myself to pay for one.
I love summer camp and who doesn't want to feel like a kid again. I would love to do this camp I am kind of stuck in my style and need help getting out of my box.
This sounds great! I'm doing LOAD at the moment and it's helping me to go and visit my scrapdesk every day :)
i would love to do this! our family will be spending a week at the beach and i'm sure i will have plenty of pictures to scrap! i love summer time and scrappin'
I would love to win this. I am in desperate need of some inspiration! I also need some dedicated scrapbooking time. This would be perfect!
OMG a camp led by May Flaum? Are you serious? Of course I wanna win! Love love love May Flaum.
Marina
I would love to win this class because other classes with May have been fun and full of great layouts!
I'd love to be chosen because May's classes are always my favorites!
would love to learn some ideas from May and I need some new inspiration .....couldnt stick two bits of paper together at the moment if i tried...lol...am gunna try and shuffle some this evening
oh yay! it sounds like fun, fun, fun! i need a kick in the scrap pants. have never done anything like this, sounds exciting!
A scrapbooking summer camp = HEAVEN! With all the kids home, they're bound to drive me crazy... happy but crazy nonetheless. This class will certainly keep the crazies away! :-)
This is such an awesome idea. Going to camp again, doing something that I LOVE, sharing with others and having May as my instructor-Wow, this beyond exciting. I would love this opportunity to scrap with others who share my passion for such a wonderful craft. Thank you for this chance to win!
I have a stack of pics ready to go and more paper + other goodies than I know what to do with right now. I just need a little inspiration (and a lot of motivation) to fill those empty scrapbooks.
My summer starts on Tuesday night when my exam is over, ready for a break & some scrapbooking now. A summer camp sounds fun & would give me all the inspiration I need to get started this summer :)
It´s so long ago, that i went for a summer camp, that i really would love to have a place at such an event.
I have a ton of scrapbooking to do and just can't get motivated - Camp might be just what I need. Plus it sounds fun and I have never done anything like this before.
one whole month!? ya.. of course, plus I've never attended online class with May before.
Thank you!
I love May's style so if she's got inspiration to share then I want to know about it!
Oooh...this sounds like SO much fun. Done a fair amount of camping in my time - would love to join in from the comfort of my own home!! xx
Ooooo! This looks like fun. I've taken BPS classes before but never with May. I think I need this class to help me get through all the add-ons I bought this month :D
Oh, that's a class I'd love to take. I'm desperatly looking for new inspiration in the middle of my crazy life, and May is sooo creative and talented :)
I have always wanted to go summer camp! and I don't teach school in the summer and have tons of free time scrap!
I'd love the daily motivation! And who doesn't love summer camp?! :)
I would love to go to camp to meet new friends and learn new stuff!
I've been dying to take this class!! Thanks for the giveaway!
I would love to be in this class. May's layouts are always wonderful. I need the inspiration!!
I would really love to do something that would force me to sit myself down and do some scrapping. And some new ideas on how to do things? Even better!
Anything to get me going again would be so great. Just seemed to be in a creative rut.
This would be my chance at some Scrap Time!! Maybe I would finally take time to get pictures to paper.
I follow May's blog every day and enjoy her inspiration. Have heard all about Camp Scrap already and would love to get my scrapbooking mojo back! This would be the perfect kick-start!
What a way this would be to kick off summer 2010! I love summer! I love camp-i even go to camp every summer in the catskills as a group leader. I would love to take this course to chronicle my summer camp experience with a scrapbooking camp course! ;)
I love May's style and her ideas. What a great idea to do "camp"!
I'd love to win a spot in her fabulous class...I could always use a dose of creativity and fun all wrapped up in one class!
I just came over here from May's blog! I'd love to win a spot in her class - i've taken several of her BPS classes and loved them ... plus I love her style ... plus it will be winter here (in Australia) and what better way to spend winter than in summer camp!
Summer camp with scrappy girls? What could be better? Staying up late and giggling and talking about paper and embellishments is so much better than talking about the silly boys in the next camp over! Awww, those were the days.
Thanks for the opportunity.
I have to take this camp as I've bought the punch May blogged about yesterday and said she would be using. Plus being English I've never been to summer camp its not something we did in England when I was young!
I would love the inspiration! (and I always loved camp!)
OMG! This sounds like so much fun.
Thanks for the giveaway.

I never have the time to actually get away to any type of scrap camp, so to have one that i can participate in during the free time I have and in my own home would be perfect! It'd be so wonderful to be able to take the time for me for a change. What an awesome awesome prize! The winner is sure to have a blast!
Crops are so much fun! Never dreamed of a month long crop - so cool, but what an awesome idea - just for the fun of it! I would.
I am on the edge of taking this class. I have taken all of May's classes and love them. She is such a good teacher.
I really need the creative inspiration!
Are you kidding me? Scrap Camp sounds like so much fun! I would love to win and get some inspiration from May.
this sounds exciting! this bootcamp is just what i need to be more productive and scrappy!! hope i get a spot!! *cross fingers*
and i'd like to believe it's summer here in winter-y australia!!
I have signed my kids up for summer camps & would love to do the same for myself!! Thanks for the opp!
Stephanie Eaken
scrapbook camp sounds amazing!!
oh my gosh it sounds sooooo fun!!!! I want to take the class for pure inspiration!
I've taken a class with May before and she is AWESOME! I would love to take this class with her as well.
what a fun ideal. I would love to go to camp scrap this summer.
sounds so cool...would love to win first because you can never ever have to much scrapbooking in your life and I love classes....also Love the name of the class...is that silly...
peace
Kim Bolyard
I bought a house last summer and there is no extra $$ to do anything this summer. I would be great to stay home and go to Camp Scrap!
May is a wonderful teacher and her blog is one that I regularly visit.
Jane in Ottawa
Summer Camp + Scrapbooking + May Flaum= WIN...
Seriously, it doesn't look like I'm going to get much in the way of summer vacation this year, because I'm training our 2 new employees--but this would be just the thing to look forward to at home.
Thanks for the chance to win!
Sounds like a fun class
I've never taken one of May's classes but her blog has become one of my favorites. I love her the insights she posts about her creative journey. Taking this class would be like taking a scrapping vacation from my own creative box.
I love mays classes!! shes creative and fun and high energy...ive read the description of this one and it sounds amazing!!
Oh and i really really need to use up some of my kits!! :)
I really really really want to take the class! I love scrapbooking, and I really want to get caught up on it this summer, and I'd love to get more ideas on what to do! It sounds like a ton of fun, and I love May Flaum's blog!
Anything with the words "May Flaum" is a MUST for me. Then adding in Studio Calico and you have an equation that equals BIG TIME FUN!!!
To gain new ideas and get some layouts actually done! And summer camp sounds divine!
This sounds like a great class. I need structure and motivation like this to get me scrapping!!
Beth Ann
I'm looking to get more scrapbooking done in the coming months. I can always use the help and inspiration of others!
I am a stay at home mom of a 23 month old little boy. I would love the chance to win and learn all the new techniques, etc. and apply them to his baby book and scrapbook (that aren't fisnished yet)! 8-)
Tausha R
I have sooo much more time this summer after finishing our home renovation and I would love to do some fun summer camp scraping!
My scrap-time usually diminishes during the summer. This would be the perfect excuse to keep on working with my SC kits, and not let them pile up over the summer!
I wanna go to camp!
This sounds like so much fun - I used to go to scrap camp but it has been cancelled the last two years and I could use something to get my mojo going again. This class sounds perfect - love May's classes.
I don't get out of the house much these days, so scrap camp seems like a perfect way to spend part of my summer. I need a kick in the pants to get more scrapping done too. :)
Oh---I would love to go because I could use use a month to get away and learn new ideas and styles and techniques! I love hands-on teaching:) THANKS for the chance to win!
Summer Camp with May? Best stay-cation ever!
I would love to take this class b/c I love online classes--they provide so much inspiration!
I have been dying to take one of her classes. Unfortunately financially it is not possible right now. I follow May's blog and am inspired daily. Thanks for the chance!
lately, i've had so much on my plate with family life and working that i would so enjoy just devoting some serious time to what i wanna do.. scrap! besides, how fun would it be to say "i'm going to scrap camp." :)
I would love to take May's class. She is inspiring and creative. My layouts are very boring and blah right now, so it would ne wonderful to learn new techniques and get some inspiration from May.
Thanks for the chance:)

1. Studio Calico kits - need I say more???
I would love this class! I need to recharge my scrapping spirit, and this would definitely do it!
I need someone to kick me in the right direction to get back to scrapping - haven't been able to do it for a while now.
what a great giveaway! i think i will take this class regardless but how fun to win it...
I love May Flaum & my dad was a camp director when young! It would be a great thing to win since I need a break as a busy Mom too!
I have taken a class with May before and loved it!
I've never taken a scrapbooking class before! I've recently started reading May's blog and find her so inspiring! Especially her emphasis on ignoring what's trendy and doing what feels right. :) This summer is the PERFECT summer for me to get serious about scrapping.
I love May and her work!! I also have the summer off from work so it would be the perfect time to take a class and get some scrapping done :) I'm crossing my fingers, thanks for the chance to win a spot :)
I could definitely use a class like this. I need motivation to get started in scrapbooking. I've got all the cute supplies and for some reason all my idea books are not pushing me into getting started. I need your help :)!!Thanks for the chance. I would love to win.
I need some inspiration dessssssperately! I keep finding excuses not to scrap, and I'm getting behind ;( Maybe some dedicated time, and a class would help!
I have taken all of May's classes over the last year. She is an amazing instructor, and I would love to go to CAMP SCRAP!
I love May's classes at BPS, and am really looking forward to Camp Scrap. Just think: if I won a seat in class I could spend that extra money on Studio Calico goodies!
Summer tends to be a slow time for scrapbooking, so I definitely need Scrap Camp. I'll bring the marshmallows, graham crackers, and chocolate -- you bring the campfire!
Oo.. this sounds fun! This class would allow me to get so much scrapped, and hopefully come up on top (doubt it, I think I'll always be behind, LOL)
Who wouldn't want to take this class with May? She's so much fun and her work is so inspirational. I find it too easy to blow off scrapbooking during the summer -- it would be great to have a reason to keep it going!
I'd like to win this because it sounds awesome!!!
I would love to be a part of this class because I think it would be super fun and jumpstart my scrapbooking projects. I make cards, too, and never seem to get to the layouts!
I am a fan of May Flaum's work. It would be wonderful to take a class taught by her.
I love May's class ... and I have lost my mojo!
I would love to go to camp with May. I took her hybrid class and had so much fun.
Since I won't be able to go away anywhere this summer for vacation, I think this class is just what I need! Thanks for the chance to win!
I'd love a Girl Scout camp for adults where scrapping was the theme! Seriously, this class sounds like so much fun.
Cuz I love May!! She is such a cool girl and love that she is so down to earth and all-inclusive and all that good karma stuff!!
Plus, she rocks the page!
PS-I ALREADY SIGNED UP...IT'S JUST LOOKS LIKE SO MUCH FUN!!
We're coming off a long period of unemployment, so every extra penny is going to replenish the now-empty emergency fund. So the only way I can take this class is to win it. I'd love the chance to take a class from May and I love the summer camp theme.
I'm always up for learning something new--love taking classes! And any class involoving scrapbooking and lots of creativity sounds awesome.
Oh that sounds so fun!!!! Thanks for the chance to win.
What a blast!!! I am a huge summer camp fan. In fact, I was a counselor throughout high school and college. This will be so fun even if I don't get to go into the woods or even leave the house for it.
this is way cool! how can i miss this! :)
I have soooo many pictures to scrapbook YET....I have been doing altered art for so long now that I have forgotten how to scrapbook and even where to start. I need HELP!!!!!!
Yay! Count me in!
Just a quick note to let you know that a link to this post will be placed on CraftCrave today [14 May 02:00pm GMT]. Thanks, Maria
Doing this class would be the perfect way to make at least part of this summer all about me me me. Not like I need an excuse, but... :)
My New Year's resolutions revolved around scrapbooking - stretch myself by getting out of my creative comfort zone, create pages that I love and don't want to tear about 3 months later (LOL), and to finally finish an album (soooo many started and nothing is complete). This class would the be answer!!!!!!
Thank you for the chance to win!
Oh, my word! That's exactly what I need to motivate me to create with the pictures, stories and products that I love so much. I need the push to get away from the computer and go and do it. It sounds fabulous - thanks for sharing :)
I'd love to take this class to help get me back in the groove. I'll need something to balance out the insanity of my husband traveling for weeks at a time for work.
Winning this would get me back on the scrapping track that has gotten rusty.
I'd like to win because I've NEVER taken a scrapbook class in the 10 years I have done it! I think it would be great to get some new ideas! and meet more people! I have only been blogging for a couple of months and have found scrapbook bloggers to be generous as well as creative people!
I would like to take this class for the accountability to get some scrapping done and to just be able to play a little!
I will be "laid up" due to surgery this summer so I will be sitting around and would love to take this class!
I am still trying to find the "true me style" with my scrapping, I lack the confidence to just be me, without the worry of what other scrappers and DT members think of my layouts. Time to dedicate some time out, and this great course of action would be perfect (when my 3 year old goes to bed of course) time to take a new course of action and accept that how I scrap is me, and that is perfect. Love Melxx
sweet! sounds like a blast!
how cool! a virtual scrap summer camp would be a blast! I'd even go to a real one! ;) thanks for the chance of winning!
Great giveaway!
This would be sooo much fun crafts+camp=FUN!
I have taken a class from May before and I loved it
This class sounds such fun...and I could use my SC kit (my first ever!) to create all sorts of wonderful layouts!
Wow !! I've never won anything and this sounds awesome....Count me in please !!
....Jane
I would love to go to Summer Camp! I tend to get stuck in a rut and all my pages start to look alike. I need to learn new techniques and ideas! And this sounds like sooo much fun!!!
I would love to take this class.
I love May, I take all her classes!
I need her inspiration so I can scrap more this summer!
Summer vacation always meant a week away at camp. Camp Scrap sounds perfect. Thanks for the opportunity to win!
I need more mojo to get more done so this would be a perfect class!
I never got to go to summer camp! This would be make my dream come true! Thanks for the chance to win!
With 4 kids and 2 moves in the last year I haven't had a whole lot of time to scrapbook. Recently when I did have some time I just couldn't get the creativity going again. I could seriously use this class to get ideas and I can't afford to pay for it myself.
Thank you for the chance to win.
I need to take this class - as I really need an inspirational kick in the pants!!
I have never taken an online course before--would love the chance. And I kind-of need a kick in the pants right now to scrap something other than Project Life.
This sounds awesome...I've never heard of anything like it before. I am desperate to learn more from this hobby I love, and as I usually start scrapping around 10pm (kids in bed, chores done blah,blah...)having a class at my fingertips sounds perfect.
I could use all the help i can get to get going on scrapbooking- i tend to collect product but actually creatr very little :-( would really like to change that and use my stash.
Summer camp with May? What could be more fun?
I could use some inspiration and some ideas...this class would be great for me!
I need a great class to get my mojo going - I'd love to use some of my SC yumminess!
Lou
Because I am 20 years behind and really need some help!
I really need some new fuel for my creativity! It's been a while since the last time I finished something I was really, really satisfied with, and need to find back to the happy things about scrapbooking.
A summer camp is jsut what I need!
May Flaum, you are so awesome, and your style is exactly what I love!!!!
I've taken one of your classes, the one using kits. It was so fantastic that I would love to take another one! I really need to chill this summer by doing really creative things - the twin granddaughters we're raising will be seniors this next year - busy, busy, busy! Need some relief from double harmones and double the testing for independence!
Because scrapbooking is fun. It's that simple :)
May is AWESOME! And I need something to spark my mojo. Thanks for a chance!
Camp and scrapbooking just sounds superfun to me! As if you give yourself permission to 'play'.
(Which I probably should do more often ;).
Pam
summer and camp. Its perfect! The name alone makes me want to take it. Well, and the talent of Ms. May.....
Wow! What a great giveaway! I would love it!
I have never taken an online class....this sounds awesome! thanks for the chance to win.
I have always wanted to take a class at Big Picture Scrapbooking. This would be perfect. Thanks
We have had a heck of a few months with our daughter having 3 surgeries in 2 months time, I sure could use a summer camp, not to mention some much needed mojo booster!
I work better with structure, so having daily inspirations and actual assignments would work perfect for me!! Especially being the Summer, I'd love to keep inspired!
I am just finishing up my first BPS class, Textuality and love it. I read about Camp Scrap and love the idea. I am off in the summer, so I can devote more time to scrapping. And May makes it sound like so much fun, I can't wait to join in. Thanks for a chance to win.
living in AZ the heat causes us to stay inside most of the day--would love something to keep me motivated and inspired
I get stuck in a rut with my scrapbooking doing the same ole, same ole. Camp Scrap sounds like just what I need to try new techniques, products and designs. It's the best type of camp too because I get to sleep in my own bed with no bugs! LOL!
Oh boy do I miss summer camp! And Camp Scrap is just what I need to keep me focused and creating during the lazy summer weeks!
I would love to take this class to keep me motivated to scrap all summer long. :) Plus I just love May's style.
I so loved summer camp and what a fun way to feel like a kid again. I also have so much to scrap and am so overwhelmed a class will help me to start.
Marian
First, I have always loved May's style of scrapbooking - second this would be a present to me for getting through with my classes in flying colors and third - I am sooooo incredibly far behind on my scrapping and I just need some pure creativite hand and mind helping me to get on track again - after all, my oldest is now 27 and I have done hardly any of his - and I have 2 more and a grand-girl and she is the only one that is close to being caught up - and I just really need this!
I'm always so jealous of my kids who get to go to camp. I will be recovering from some surgery this summer and this camp class would be a great distraction and a way to catch up and learn some new techniques!
Scrapping with suggested layouts and ideas for 5 weeks sounds great! How productive can I be? Sounds like so much fun that I want to be part of the group - but if I can be part of the group at no cost would be so much better - besides my birthday is June 22, so you could consider the free class a birthday gift!
I love May and her classes! I always have a hard time staying on track during the summer....this looks like a great way to get some stuff done!
I have taken classes from May before and they are always fun and inspiring. This sounds like a lot of fun. Jane S.
I am wild, my family is wild.... let's do summer-wild-camp! With a 4 and 2 yr old at home, I need constant inspiration, so their stuff is documented but not always the same!! I would love to know how to keep it fresh. :)
To Regain My Sanity.
Summer and scrapbooking! My favorites!
Well, it's winter here in Australia which is honestly an even better time to scrap!!!!
I just found out about this class and knew immediately that I wanted to take it. Would LOVE to win it.
I would love the opportunity to take this class. Thanks for the chance!
I read all the comments - how can you pick just one of us? I don't think I am more worthy or needy than the others - Like others we are short of funds, I am struggling with chronic pain, etc. What an awesome camp this will be if we all somehow figure out a way to scrap the funds together to camp with May in June and July? Here's to one of us being lucky!
