Happy National Scrapbook Day! I can't think of a better way to spend today than cutting and pasting! Today, I'm sharing a challenge over on the Studio Calico blog and I'm also joining in with some of my favorite creatives and getting this party started with a fun and inspirational blog hop!!
Currently:
Favorite YouTube clip: Swiftamine on Saturday Night Live | Listening to: Ed Sheeran on repeat | Watching: nothing. I just can't find a favorite show right now! Any suggestions? | Reading: Leaving Time by Jodi Picoult | I can eat this everyday: nachos, nachos and more nachos. Oh, and sweet potatoes too! | Favorite drink at 4pm: Hmm...it used to be coffee but ever since Whole 30, I would probably have to go with a tall glass of ice water! | On my wish list: A lazy and relaxing weekend full of giggles, hugs and crafting! | Enjoying: Sunny spring days and our porch swing. | Favorite quote right now: Start each day with a grateful heart. | Smiling about: The possibility of adding a puppy to our family TODAY! | My favorite project for this year is: I think my favorite project this year has to be my Project Life albums. I've really enjoyed the freedom of creating various sized albums with tons of photos. Project Life will always be one of my favorite projects because it reminds me to stop and capture our everyday. It reminds to document those little details before they fade with time.
To celebrate today, the super sweet and talented Wilna has put together a beautiful cut file to share with you all! You can download the free file here. Wilna is just so amazingly talented, isn't she?!
I wish I could create and share like Wilna, but I just don't have those skills! But what I do have is a craft room FULL of supplies that I would love to share with YOU!! Leave a comment below telling me your favorite thing about NSD and I will select one random person to send a fun goodie bag to!!
Now it's your turn to hop on over to Jen's's blog! Be sure to hop around and check out all the amazing ladies and inspiration! Have an amazing and creative day!
xoxo
A puppy? Today??? Ooh how exciting! :)
ReplyDeleteMy favourite thing about NSD are all the challenges and inspiration - it really makes me want to scrap, no matter how uninspired I felt at first!
What great photos! So exciting about the puppy...we're in negotiations over that here. I love NSD, it always give me a little jumpstart when my scrapbooking lapses. Thanks for the chance to win!
ReplyDeleteYour photo's are always amazing. I'd love some tips on your camera settings/how (if) you edit.
ReplyDeleteWOW!! What wonderful and beautiful pictures!!!! I never heard anybody explain Project Life the way you did. I bought an album and a few things to get started last year but never did. Now after hearing you explain it I am most definitely going to get everything out and get to Project Lifing!!!!
ReplyDeleteMy favorite part of NSD is all the new inspiration I find online from the wonderful blog hops and challenges and of course all the great sales!!! Thank you for the chance to win!!
My fave things is seeing all the pretty projects, and because it is spring, so many of them have pastel colors which are my favorite. And I'm also noting that everyone on this hop has a very streamlined white background blog design, so that has me thinking about changing mine up as well. You never know what you will see on NSD, do you?
ReplyDeleteLove the new ideas on days like this! Lots of inspiration.....Gina F
ReplyDeleteMy fave thing is seeing all the creativity from people who enjoy this hobby like I do!
ReplyDeleteI love nachos too! So yummy! My favorite thing about NSD is all the inspiration I can find and it also motivates me to create or try something new that I haven't done before!
ReplyDeleteI'm excited about NSD because it is pushing me to set aside time for crafting today, and I'm eager to be inspired by all the challenges. Thanks for the chance to win a goodie bag! Good luck with the puppy!
ReplyDeleteLove all the challenges and inspiration! I love seeing so many wonderfully creative people come together to challenge and inspire each other. ❤️
ReplyDeleteI wish I had Wilna's skills too, but I also wish I had yours...happy NSD!
ReplyDeleteI don't currently scrapbook (although I do buy scrapbook supplies to make cards!) My favorite thing about NSD is celebrating this wonderful craft industry we all love!
ReplyDeleteBlogs are crashing so I'm not able to post on them all but Happy Scrapbooking day!
ReplyDeleteI love scrapbooking and making cards and never seem to find enough time, so today is a great day to make the time. I love meeting new talent on the blog hop and the inspiration. Happy NSD! I must admit though that it is so beautiful here I'm going fishing first and then scrapbooking later!
ReplyDeleteThe best thing about NSD is that I somehow I have the adrenaline rush in me to make as many pages as I can even though I slack the rest of the year. Plus, the prizes on all websites just motivate me more.
ReplyDeleteI love NSD day because through all of the hops and live events I find so many talented people to start following. Oh yea and not to mention all of the giveaways !!
ReplyDeleteThe NSD blog hops are introducing me to a whole new group of artists I wouldn't have found otherwise. And I'm having fun and getting inspired! Happy NSD everyone!

What I love most about NSD is the feeling of community. It feels like everyone is together and its one worldwide crop. It’s so inspiring.
ReplyDeleteLove seeing your wonderful photos and PL pages!!
ReplyDeleteMy favorite thing abt NSD is the festive atmosphere with giveaways around each corner and inspiration oozing out everywhere!!! lol... I live in rural Idaho where I do not get to attend any papercrafting shows or conventions, so big online events are the next best thing. Thanks so much for sharing your extra goodies and for the chance to win!!!!

What I love most about NSD is all the blog hops and YouTube videos - so much inspiration!
ReplyDeleteHow exciting to get a new puppy, can't wait to see photos. I have been on a British drama kick lately, call the midwife (loved this one), and the Bletchly circle and Broadchurch for a bit of mystery.
ReplyDeleteI love connecting with people from around the world doing something we all love!!! Such a great feeling. We are such a friendly bunch of people. I love it!!!

ReplyDeleteI love all the fun blog hops on NSD weekend! I had to work all weekend but I finally get a day off today to catch up!
ReplyDeleteMy most fave thing about NSD is all the challenges that seem to pop up and I tend to manage to get at least something done!
ReplyDeleteI love the abundance of inspiration!
ReplyDeleteI loooove that that day is not even known in Sweden yet, so I get to spend all day scrapbooking and no one is even asking Why
