HAPPY NATIONAL SCRAPBOOK DAY!

Today I am going to share a few layouts I created today for National Scrapbook Day.

The first uses a few funny photos from the crop I went to last September at Rivercrest Farm in a beautiful renovated barn.  I created this for Chris' Dinner Menu challenge for the NSD Crop over at A Cherry on Top.

This was the menu I chose -
Beverage - Water - faux or real stitching
Appetizer - Fried Calamari - diamonds
Main Course - Chicken Parmesan - 2 sheets cardstock
Side Dish - Roasted Vegetable - Doily
Salad - Caesar - something brown
Dessert - ice cream - my choice - embossing

Here's my dinner -

Chicken Parmesan - 2 sheets of cardstock

Water - Faux Stitching

Fried Calamari - Diamonds

Roasted Vegetable - Doily

Ice Cream - Embossing

Caesar Salad - something brown - Brown Ribbon

My next layout is for Ann's Tradition challenge for the NSD Crop over at A Cherry on Top and for the May Stash challenge #26 at Scrap Our Stash.

Ann is getting married soon so she chose to do the wedding tradition 

"Something Old, 

Something New,

Something Borrowed,

Something Blue."

and the SOS challenge is-

And here is my layout -

Something Old - Karen Foster Stickers

Something New - 

Recollections and Jolee Shaker Boxes, 

Shells by MudPuddles

Something Borrowed -

Julie Nutting Mermaid Doll

and of course the Something Blue is the blue subtle printed patterned paper.

and

E - Embossed Square

M - Mermaid

B - Blue Background, Bottle, Birds in photos

O - Ocean photos and Ocean quote

S - Stickers, Shaker Boxes

S - Sand, Shells

I hope you got to do some creating for National Scrapbooking Day too or at least got to live vicariously by enjoying mine!

All comments greatly appreciated!

1 - 2- 3 FOR NSD!

Happy National Scrapbooking Day!

I am starting the day off with cards.  Here are my first 3.

My inspiration for the first one started with card sketch #2 from Scrapbook.com.

I used a few buttons for the Turtle Soup NSD Challenge Cute as a Button which called for using bright colors and buttons. I am also entering this card into Crazy4Challenges C4C234 April Showers bring May Flowers.

My next card starts with card sketch #3 from Scrapbook.com. 

It was made using all scraps for Turtle Soup NSD Challenge Use Up Some Scraps and a handmade flower for Sketches4All Use Flowers with a Twist.

Card #3 starts with card sketch #1 from Scrapbook.com.

I used my new stamp and matching die set to create the butterfly for the first challenge, Anything Goes over at Dies R Us and for Rachelle's challenge over at Sketches4All calling for a card using Mother Nature (flowers) and a butterfly. I am also entering this in Turtle Soup NSD challenge Make It Your Own calling for making your own embellishment and Allsorts Challenge Blog challenge #257 Butterflies.

 

Please come back in a few hours as I plan to have more to show you!  I think I may work on layouts next!
