It's another busy week at Ella!

1.  We're getting ready to release our March eBook this week, which is going to be FREE! Yes, you heard that correctly. We've selected one project or idea from every single eBook released by Ella in the last six months, and we've compiled them all into a FREE 22-page downloadable eBook that will: a) show you how easy our eBooks are to download if you haven't tried one yet, and b) give you a real taste of what each eBook is like, in case there are any you still need to add to your collection.



2. I'm up to my eyeballs editing our April eBook, which is all about perfecting your portraits! It's going to be amazing. Authors Elisha Snow, Kelly Noel, and Becky Novacek REALLY know their stuff. I've learned SO much about taking better posed photos of babies, toddlers, teens, pets, couples, groups, and more! (Also check out Becky's eZine article here.)

3. You have until TOMORROW, March 17, to submit your work for our April issue. So click here to see what we're looking for! (Selected designers will each receive a free eBook, and we'll link from the article to their blogs.)

4. Don't forget to participate in Katie Scott's 7 weeks of tv-inspired challenges! Even if you rarely watch television, these unique challenges will still inspire you to create great pages. AND you could win a $50 gift certificate to Scrapbook.com. Read the details here.

* Note: adorable photo of the little boy (my nephew, Brock) was taken by Mr. Travis Lucas, designer of this website and fledgling photographer. He's rockin' our Nikon D70. See more of his stuff in his Flickr gallery.
