Oh what fun....iNSD is May 1st....

Non-scrapbook friends....iNSD is (inter)National Scrapbooking Day! Really? Oh, yeah. Crazy sales, chats, freebies, store sales....oh, I'm so overwhelmed already and it doesn't start until May 1st! I'm spending the day with my flesh and blood Scrap Cellar Girls, who else?

The awesome Kristin Rutten at Log Your Memory teamed up with Simple Scrapper to create a iNSD planner! No, really, it's that big!!! AND it's free! If you weren't there for the chat, you can grab the planner here.

How ridiculously cute is this kit?

Available in the iNSD grab bag available 5/1 from Pixie Perfect Designs, exclusively at Scrapable!!!

(And that's not all....there are lots more goodies in this grab bag, but what good is a grab bag without a few surprises?!)

A recent weekly challege at LYM got me to answer the question you may have asked yourself (or really are wondering why I'm blogging all my scrapbook pages) - Why do you scrapbook? Well.....

There's a little digi page with photos of my recent paper scrapbooking in the Scrap Cellar.

Like I've said before....it's a gentle madness, this hobby. Ah.

Have a terrific day!

Weekend Catch-Up

What a busy weekend! I spent Saturday with the ScrapCellar girls getting some much needed inspiration and girl time. Those women really inspire me - I feel like my kids do when they are having a good time and don't want to leave a friend's house....I'm also inclined to whine "Do I have to go home?" when it's over! I made a very special book for my daughter - can't post it, since it's a surprise for her 8th grade graduation. Holy cow....when did she get so old!

I spent Sunday afternoon with my mom and dad and my kids beautifying my yard - didn't have my camera handy - I think my mom would have yelled at me if I had stopped working to get it! Everything looks super good again and I don't cringe to go outside anymore.


This weekend also was LOADED with wonderful things on the digital scrapbook front....I was selected to be on 3 creative teams (CTs) - when it rains, it pours! For my non-scrapbook friends, here's what happened. I was inspired by the work of these three designers and applied to work with them, creating layouts of their designs to promote and support their work. I'm absolutely thrilled! I posted some layouts (LOs) of Coffee Time previously. Here's one from Pixie Perfect Designs ......

The colors in this kit are so restful and very spa-like....turquoise, green, white, lavender, brown....I love it!
