Hey all, happy National Scrapbook Day! It's me, your humble editor, bringing up the rear on today's 12 hours of NSD festivities. Hasn't it been a great day here at SCT?! So many great prizes, loads of inspiration and ideas, and eye candy galore. :)
My "What's Up?" card was inspired by the animated movie, "Up," one I've seen at least a half dozen times. I loooooove Dug the dog! This card also follows one of our most popular challenges at Crop & Create called the SCT-123 Challenge. I'd like to invite YOU to take the challenge! Gather up Stickers, Chipboard and Twine, along with 1 envelope, 2 pieces of cardstock and 3 pieces of patterned paper to create your own SCT-123 card! And please share your creation by posting a link to this post!
Supplies: cardstock (Close To My Heart); patterned paper (American Crafts, Crate Paper, My Mind’s Eye); chipboard speech bubble (Pebbles); chipboard houses (Jenni Bowlin) balloon and cloud die (PageMaps/Spellbinders); letter stickers (BasicGrey); envelope (Doodlebug Design); twine (Montana Misfits); adhesive (Helmar); pen (Uniball Signo)
My card features letter stickers from BasicGrey, chipboard houses from Jenni Bowlin, and Twine from Montana Misfits, along with a finished envelope from Doodlebug Design, Close to My Heart cardstock, and patterned paper from Crate Paper, My Mind's Eye and American Crafts (fronts and backs).
So go ahead and take our SCT-123 challenge too! I'm also so excited to share a bit of fun news with all of you … a secret I've been keeping under my hat for weeks. Please join me in welcoming Nicole Nowosad to our SCT design team! You've seen Nicole's beautiful work grace the pages of our Reader's Gallery for quite some time, and now she's joined us to share her talent in every issue, as well as on our site and blog. We are thrilled to have this creative Canadian on our team. Welcome, Nicole! ~ Becky Fleck
Nicole is from Winnipeg, Manitoba with her husband Ian and their boys, Noah and Lucas and daughter Addison. She started scrapbooking in 1999 when she was invited to a home scrapbook party. Soon after, she realized all the creative inspiration found on the internet, she hasn’t looked back since. Nicole loves playing with pattern, bright & bold colour choices, and don’t be surprised to see lots of sewing on her pages.
When she is not scrapbooking, Nicole is busy working full-time, running kids to soccer, or volunteering for various school boards, and mostly sharing her life on Instagram.
Nicole’s work has been published in publications in Canada and the United States and she currently designs for Jillibean Soup, Pebbles, Inc., Lily Bee Design, Hampton Art, and Scraptastic Kit Club.
Of course, with such a fun announcement we have some fun prizes too! Becky Fleck has partnered with two fantastic companies...Penny Black and Spellbinders! Have a look at these prizes....
A whole set of Becky's brand new stamps with Penny Black! But wait, that's not all! We have not one, but two of Becky's PageMaps die sets from our friends at Spellbinders!
If you would like to win these amazing prizes be sure to leave a comment below by 6:00 p.m. next Saturday, May 11th! We would love for you to jump on over to visit our friends at Penny Black and Spellbinders. They are also celebrating NSD and would love to hear from YOU!!
Enjoy the rest of NSD and thanking you for joining our celebration here at Scrapbook & Cards Today. You won't want to miss the final hour!
