Good morning SCT friends! Have we got a fantastic day in store for you. Here is how it's going to work - every hour on the hour we are going to have one of our very talented design team members joining us with a vast array of tips, tricks, techniques and so much more! We will have a few guests joining us so watch out for that along with a few surprise announcements too. We are always good for a few surprises right? Of course, in true SCT style, one of our incredible sponsors will be giving away a prize to one lucky SCT reader each and every hour! We hope you will take a moment to give a huge "SCT THANK YOU" to each sponsor too. They just make this day that much more fun don't they? Let's get started!
"Happy to be kicking off National Scrapbook Day with a little something from Simple Stories!! Their Sweet Bliss line is so divine and I have a natural affinity for pockets. Together they make for the perfect card....
I used some papers and stickers from Sweet Bliss and added a Sweet Bliss SN@P Pocket with a 4x6 SN@P mat cut to size. A little twine and a few gems to finish it off and voila...you have a perfect hiding place for a gift card!!!
Hope this one inspires you to pull out your supplies and celebrate this day as any true scrapbooker should...crafting!!! Enjoy!!! ~ Vicki Boutin
SO of course we should start this great celebration with a great prize right? Oh yes, we hear your cheers! Take a peek at the brand new I {heart} Summer collection from Simple Stories!
To win this prize, and every prize offered today, leave a comment on each post by 6:00 p.m. on Saturday, May 11th! Good luck everyone! We look forward to seeing you each and every hour today.
Join us at 9:00 a.m. for a little Doodlebug fun!

This is such a pretty idea for my aunt's birthday on Sunday. It will get there a little late, but will be pretty all the same!
