What is NSD, you say? National Scrapbook day! Oh, that's right...there's a day...
I'm totally missing Calgary right now cuz my mom, sister and I used to pack up all our scrap stuff and hang out at the local store all day long - buying goodies and making stuff together...=)
So anyways, there's a ton of stuff goin on around the web everywhere! Over here, there is a fab giveaway from the lovely Veronica Milan of Shabby Chic Crafts...she sent me some of her yummy paper tags and is funding a lovely RAK here just for NSD! =)
So here's the project I made with some of her tags - I found a really cool vintage receipt book at the last flea market we went to, and thought it would make a fab mini book! So I used, of course, the Shabby Chic Paper tags, those cute Fall pictures my mom took of my sister and I, and threw some Sassafras in there for good measure...he he...
There's no journalling in it yet, I was too little to remember the stories behind the pictures, so I'll have to ask my mom one day and fill the rest of the book in! It's nice and simple..just some paint splashes and paper tags. =)Anyways, If you wanna win this lovely pack of goodies:
(Cute, hey?) Just leave a comment here! You have until the end of the day Monday, May 5 to put your name in for the draw! And if you're feeling celebratory, tell me what part of scrapbooking is your favorite! =)There are a ton more cool Guest Designers and giveaways at the Shabby Chic Blog, and check out Veronica's Etsy shop, too!
As for me, I have to say thanks a ton for all the sweet comments about the job and Red Velvet! You guys rock! I'm caught up in color troubles on the freelance project, but it's coming along...it was actually really cool to be back at work at the Studio yesterday! I'm always amazed when I remember how to use a computer program I haven't touched in a few months..lol...and today is a much-needed scrap day: one of the last before animation busy-ness to get all my projects done! So there will be goodies to share soon! Yay!
And remember, leave your name to win those yummy tags!! Happy day!

Happy NSD! That mini is precious! I seriously need to go garage saling... Those tags are seriously cute. You are such an influence! My purchases from sushipot arrived yesterday!
Congrats on the job and that mini is the bestest! LOVE old photos like that...every time I go to my mom's house, I dig through her boxes of photos...so much fun!
Have a great weekend!
What a lovely mini book :D Old photos are so much fun!
Stellar tags- they are what i'm addicted to right now!
My favorite part of scrapbooking is that's my outlet from everything, especially school. I love being able to create!

Yay for NSD! Love what you did with that recipe book. So neat!
Those are great tags!! My goal for the summer is to go back to scrapbooking - I've been making cards instead. Your post reminded me that I don't necessarily have to go the traditional route with a scrapbook. Love it!
-Carrie
happy NSD to you!!!
Love that little receipt mini!
My favorite part about scrapbooking?? Well, I'm a photography major and plan to be a photographer career wise... but I've always been artsy and crafty, always drawing and things like that - I just never could connect with anything, like painting or pottery, etc. until I came across collage work.... and suddenly it clicked! You add a photo to it and I'm in heaven! And then I kinda stumbled on scrapbooking and I got to use my own photos and that was even better. So scrapbooking pretty much answers my ultimate creative needs! heh, long answer!

Happy NSD!! What do I like best about scrapbooking? Getting my memories down on paper. I am SO forgetful that I love to scrap things when I remember them, so they are around for my daughter forever. :P (How sappy is that? heehee)
Are these the same tags that Rachel is giving away? they look exactly the same!! Nevertheless... I want them times 2. You can't win if you don't play. :-)
Ow that's cute Michelle,love the mini!I love enjoying new goodies and telling a fun story!

My favourite part of scrapbooking is being able to look back at memories that would otherwise be forgotten.
Happy NSD!
That mini book is gorgeous!
I really need to scrap my photos from my younger years
It looks so gorgeous..the vintage-ness of the mini ties in so well with the photos (the colours not that you in the photo is vintage..just thought i would clarify that..lol!)
Those tags are totally rockin'
I love the one with the wings...so cute!
HAPPY NATIONAL SCRAPBOOKING DAY

I love all the dimension in your scrapbooking. Veronicas tags are amazing! Scrapbooking is a fun way to journal and keep a record of our family.
I don't know if you would be interested but I am heading up a scrapbooking project where each month each person creates a 8x8 scrapbook page in a certain theme and then we put an 8x8 album together and donate it to different organizations... Valley Children's Hospital, Veterans, Women's Shelters, etc. Email me if you are interested.... hfblessings@yahoo.com
This mini turned out precious! I think your mom journaling in it will be a great final touch :) My fave part of scrapping: turning a sheet of paper into something nobody else can do the same way as you!
the part where I actually get to do it is my favorite!! :-)
My fave part of scrapbooking is knowing that I am preserving precious memories for my son.
My mom passed away when I was a teenager leaving no scrapbook, journals or even dated pictures behind, so when my son was born I decided I could not do the same.
Happy NSD

THe best part of scrapbooking for me is buying new stuff and trying out new techniques and browsing for inspo! Love your stuff!
Jane Cullen
Wow Michelle that mini album is so cute, just gorgeous!

How fun! Cute mini book. My favorite part of scrapbooking is telling stories through pictures and journaling - I really like that it is a way to keep a history of my life. Thanks for the chance to win these adorable tags.
I really love your mini album! I usually search in your blog for some wonderful inspirations...
Thanks for the chance!
Chiara (from Italy)
Love those tags and what you did with it. I love scapbooking and especially the way it can be some kind of therapy. It helps me to understand myself more, to deal with pain, to celebrate the good things in life, ...

Adorable mini book. My fave thing about scrapbooking? Hmm......lets see.........I can't choose...... I love everything about it!

For me, it's all about the photo, rarely do I scrap with more than one at a time.
Jody
What a lovely mini book - just adore it.
I have three favourite bits about scrapping - buying all the pretty stuff, then the pure joy of creating and then finally the looking back and remembering the stories.
Have a great weekend
Happy NSD Weekend! My favorite part of scrapbooking is the process of makiing something new from a bunch of different products.
Happy NSD Day girlie. We all miss you over here. It would have been a fun day for you and Z!!! Na, Kayla and I took the boys to see Thomas this morning. It was fun, Brody and I left the girls & Dman there as your brother was getting agitated -but he still did amazing for the 2 hours we were there. I will send you details of the pictures via email.

Happy NSD! Your mini-album is super-cute!!! My favorite part of scrapbooking is um, EVERYTHING ABOUT IT!!! But maybe shopping for new stuff and then using it for the first time, that could be my #1 fave thing.
I love those tags! :)
Hmm, one of my favorite things about scrapbooking is how much fun it is to look through scrapbook albums and reminisce!
Hope your NSD was a blast.
I had to work.
Not cool.

That mini is so cute, beautiful work!
I love your stuff. Id love to win these too. Your work inspires me. You must put that digital apple kit back up on Etsy. Its wonderful. I scrapbook for my son, and to create. I love art.
oooooh so cute! I love scrapbooking/art journaling because I need the therapy! It gets my creative juices flowing! Woohoo!
OK that houndstooth is wicked awesome! Um favorite thing about scrapping?......the creative outlet. I normally don't feel very creative in my life and scrapping is the one thing that is all mine, my art if you will. It is pretty cool that it is centered around the people I love :) Always such eye candy at your blog!
I love capturing the small moments in scrapbooking. Love the tags...hoping and crossing my fingers that I will win.

oh, i have to stop peeking at your blog so much...i get sooo jealous of you style! however THAT is what i love about scrapping' - i love being inspired by others and i think that helps bring out the 'artist' (i use that term loosely!) in me more all the time!
