Happy National Scrapbook Day!

As you know, May is National Scrapbooking Month, but did you know that there is an actual National Scrapbooking Day?  Well, there is...and it's TODAY!  Happy National Scrapbooking Day!

I challenge you to scrapbook at least one page or layout today to celebrate!  I'd love for you to comment on this post and tell a little about what you scrapbooked! Was it something recent or something from years ago? Was it an event, like a birthday or Christmas? Or was it just an every day occurance? I love all of those things, but I think my very favorite things to scrapbook are just the every day things.

FOR EVERY COMMENT, I WILL ENTER YOU IN A DRAWING FOR THIS FREE STAMP SET ($17.95 VALUE).  I WILL BE DRAWING THE WINNER ON TUESDAY MORNING, MAY 10 AT 7 AM (MOUNTAIN TIME) AND WILL BE ANNOUNCING THE WINNER THAT AFTERNOON ON MY BLOG.

This layout about my hat is an example of scrapping the every day. As I look back over my scrapbooks, I love seeing the 'event' pages. They are fun and full of memories, but I love even more the pages that tell 'my story.'  These are the pages about things I (or my family) do in our every day lives. These are things that my posterity, for generations to come, will look at and learn a lot about me (and hopefully cherish).  THIS is why I scrapbook.

For this layout, I used lots of different washi tapes to go from the top to the bottom of the right hand side of the page. Some of these washi's are retired, but some are not. I've included a products used list at the very end of this post for you, and the washi tapes you can still get are on that list, complete with photos and links.  I also incorporated some of the word stickers and complements from the Calypso Complements pack, as well as a few Calypso Sequins.  I love the bright colors on this layout!

Happy Times Workshop Layout One

One Wednesdays throughout the month, I'll be sharing artwork made with the Happy Times paper packet and stamp set.  Both of these items are available only in May to celebrate National Scrapbooking Month.  This layout is the first layout that you'll make with the scrapbooking workshop (see paragraph below on how to get yours FREE from me!).

This floral and gold foil paper packet and matching floral stamp set are so beautiful...AND when you get them both, I will email you a FREE scrapbooking (three 2-page 12" x 12" layouts) and card (12 standard {4 1/4" x 5 1/2" cards) workshops.   It's kind of hard to see in photos, but all of the goldish coloring you see in the paper (like the striped paper, and the gold on pink design) is gold foil. So gorgeous!

Happy Times Paper Packet and Matching Stamp Set

Wondering how to get them? Easy, peasy!  Just call or email me (801.360.9896, pedermom@aol.com), or order on my website.  Here are your options:

• For every $60 you order (before shipping and tax), you get a Happy Times Paper Packet for FREE!  You'll be prompted to add you packet(s) before checking out. 
• You can also purchase as many paper packets as you'd like for $14.95. The order number is CC1063.
• You can order the matching stamp set for $17.95. The order number is CC1064.

Here are a few details of the layout above. 

I've also included a products used list, complete with photos and links, at the end of this post for your convenience.  Again, if you get both the stamp set and paper packet, I'll email you the scrapbooking and card making workshops for FREE!  SCORE!
