Round Here: National Scrapbook Day '12

Happy National Scrapbook Day!!

I hope everyone is getting lots of crafty time today to make some fun projects. There are so many fun challenges and posts today to honour this fun crafty holiday so make sure to check them out.
One place that has challenges going on all day is Scrapbook and Cards Today - they have posts scheduled every hour. They actually have so many fun posts planned that not all of the projects can make it onto the blog today. That's where this post comes in... I have a fun tutorial to share that shows how to make the cool folded paper flowers that we featured in the Jillibean Soup booth at CHA this past winter. This is the project that I created with the finished flowers:

Here is a video showing how to make the flowers:

Please let me know if you have any questions on how to make these flowers.

And make sure to stop by the Jillibean Soup blog today to take part in the NSD sketch challenge. Jill's got a super fun mystery box planned for the winner!! :-)

Be back soon!

So I realized the other day that I never shared the layout I created for the Spring issue of Scrapbook and Cards Today:

This was such a great issue full of spring themed pages and cards. I created a layout for the Designer Challenge and had to feature specific product on my layout.

Definitely had some stuff that I probably never would have used on my own (glitter thickers!!) but I love the layout that I ended up creating. It is so good to stretch yourself creatively sometimes and reach for those products that you don't necessarily think are your style.

So in honour of National Scrapbook Day tomorrow, I challenge you to do just that - grab some products that you haven't used for whatever reason, and create a page. And have fun with it!

And make sure you head over to the Scrapbook and Cards Today blog tomorrow for a full day of online fun and inspiration for National Scrapbook Day.
