Today is a Holiday

Yup. National Scrapbooking Day. We're having friends over for dinner tonight so my whole day can't be about scrapbooking (cleaning and cooking must happen!) but I do have a couple of things to share today.

First, a card I made using the amazing new Howdy Doody paper from Basic Grey's Lime Rickey line. This paper just makes me smile! I cut out a bunch of the birds from the paper, stitched a line across my card, used pop dots to adhere the birds, and then drew legs with a pen. The greeting is stamped using October Afternoon's Plain Jane alpha stamps.



Next, I participated in one of the challenges over at Two Peas in a Bucket and did a layout inspired by Garden Girl Wendy Bretz's "Kindergarten" layout. This one uses Scenic Route grid paper, American Crafts mini brads and epoxy worm, a Jenni Bowlin chipboard button (covered in paper glaze), and Rusty Pickle letters.


Happy National Scrapbooking Day!

I commented at 2Peas how much I loved your card, but I missed "Bookworm"
Holy moly, that page is sweet perfection, Vivian!
