Happy National Scrapbooking Day!

Hello my friends!  Are you getting to play with paper and glue today?  I got to play all week in preparation for today's celebration!  Love is in the Details is hosting an online mini crop challenge for everyone who would like to join in and there are PRIZES to be won!!

Lori, Lisa and I each posted a challenge for you and we hope you get a chance to join us.  The deadline is Tues, May 7th.

I know spring has been reluctant in coming in many parts of the globe this year, so my challenge is to create a layout of some summer fun.  Or a winter warm weather vacation or something like that.  Here's the layout I did for example.

I also created this layout for Lisa's challenge to use a minimum of 3 dies.  I included a punched butterfly too for good measure.  The dies I used are Just Rite Custom Dies by Spellbinders and they coordinate with clear rubber stamps by the same manufacturer.  I stamped them on vellum, heat embossed with Zing powder and then die cut them.

Lori's challenge is to make two cards.  One using at least 5 different patterned papers, and the other using a stamp or two.  Here are the ones I made for Lori's challenge.  The first uses the patterned papers.

 And these two both use stamps.  

 On this card, I stamped the bird cage image over top of a paper that had a strong local design in one corner.  I find those papers hard to use for layouts, but by adding this stamp it makes a beautiful card!

Please be sure to stop by Love is in the Details to see what Lori and Lisa created, and for the full rules and links to upload galleries so you can get yourself a chance to win!!
