National Scrapbooking Day 2011

What are you doing for National Scrapboooking Day? I've been in my room all morning creating cards (most to catch up on some challenges). My husband asked that I make his mom a mother's day card so I used the leftovers from hers to make one for my sister-in-law - we always have dinner together on Mother's Day.

This card was inspired by the Stampin Up Idea Book (10/11)


This card was inspired by She Who Must Stamp


This card was inspired by Stampin with Di. It is for a challenge on OWH - create cards for the soldiers to send home to their wives letting them know they appreciate them.

I haven't kept up with the Christmas Card challenges but I've got two down. This one is for Hazel's challenge - we were to use a photo of stockings for inspiration. This is my first attempt with Flower Soft - I think it looks so cool.


This card is for the Jingle Belles' challenge - vintage. I thought Santa looked vintage.


Here is the Tuesday Trigger from Moxie Fab world. Love polka dots!


Love this DP - it was given to me in pieces but I had enough to make a few cards.


This card was made for the Play Date Cafe challenge. I think this might work for the Paper Variety challenge to use ink. This card was inspired by Paper Crafts Connection.


I might get back in the scraproom later - I missed one challenge site! My hubby was supposed to golf this afternoon but he got called to work at 6:30 this morning - can't believe it but I got up then too and started my day. I don't get up at 6:30 during the week :)

Enjoy your day and call your mom tomorrow if you can! Thanks for stopping by, Susan

  14. All the cards are simply WONDERFUl... like that one which says, 'you're the best' and the Christmas stocking. Also the one with the text embossing is great. The colours in the 'Hi' card are lovely and the 'Hello' card is extremely striking as well.
