Spellbinders 2013 Design Team Round 1

Today the announcement I had been waiting for came through on the Spellbinders Blog to say I had qualified for Round 2 of the 

2013-2014 Spellbinders Design Team.

I am excited to say the least.

I had tried out last year and didn't get past Round 1. I vowed never to give up because I love my Spellbinders Dies, ever since I set my eyes on them in 2008.

You can see all 37 successful applicants HERE.

This was my project for Round 1

Now to buckle down and design for Round 2.

National Scrapbooking Day- May 4th 2013 Saturday

Today is National Scrapbooking Day

The first Saturday in May is NSD, first started in 1994 by a well known album company

Creative Memories, there are even online groups petitioning in the US to make it a federal holiday! Imagine that.

I have created a few pages for this day which I need to photograph when I find my camera

 re-charger which has gone AWOL.

Some suggestions on how to celebrate NSD:

1. Find out if there is a crop or Scrap Booking Party locally or join an online National Scrapbook Day Crop

2. Why not go shopping, preferably at a Local Craft Store or online if you live remotely, there is bound to be sales on or events happening.

3. Collect Freebies online or blogs you have subscribed to.

4. Organise your supplies and photos, you'll go through some wonderful memories with the photos and inspire yourself with supplies you have have 'lost' or forgotten you even had.

5. Try a different technique or layout you've never done before.

6. Invite someone over to scrap and have them bring over some munchies or lunch/dinner and scrap all day long.

7. Get inspired, go online and search out layouts, supplies.

8. Take a photo or photos.

9. Use your favourite kit.

10. Fix a photo

Enjoy National Scrapbooking Day, see you next year!!
