International Scrapbook Day Is Coming


Hey everyone! Welcome! Today, let's talk about the upcoming International Scrapbook Day (INSD) Weekend. It is Saturday, May 2, 2020.

I became aware of this special day when I was an active gal at the papercrafting site, Two Peas In A Bucket. I always looked forward to the challenges and the chats. It was a great way to try different techniques and meet new people. I must admit, I chatted more than I scraped. LOL!  Oh and the badges we earned for completing challenges. That was exciting!

Here is a little bit of background for those of you who aren't familiar with this event. Scrapbook dot com said,
"Mark your calendar for the first Saturday in May, because that's the special day that scrapbookers all over the globe look forward to. National Scrapbook Day (or International Scrapbook Day as we call it around here to include crafters from all over the world) began in 1994 and is now celebrated by crafter everywhere! Whichever way you say it, or you celebrate it, National Scrapbook Day or NSD is about scrapbookers and the memories they create."

Several places will be offering crops, giveaways and even virtual fun Friday, May 1st thru Sunday, May 3rd.  Here are some fun places that will be celebrating and offering activities.

There are probably several other places that will be offering INSD events. If you know of any, leave a comment below. Also, leave a comment if you plan on celebrating.

I plan to do some scrapbooking and join in the fun. I haven't scraped in a while and it will be good to make a few layouts this weekend. Maybe you can join in or have a virtual INSD party with your friends. (I am trying to learn about Zoom. Fingers crossed! LOL!)

Well, thanks for stopping by and get your scrapbook party on! :)

P.S.  HSN is having their 24 hour craft show Tuesday, May 5, 2020.

    I hate I missed the fun. I had to work two 12 hour shifts that weekend and of course when I got off I was totally exhausted and had to catch up on a few hours of sleep. I did manage to create that gift bag though. Thanks for sharing. I'll still drop by the sites to catch up on what I missed. Be blessed and stay safe.

      Thanks so much for dropping by!!! Sorry you had to work but if you go to Instagram and look for @americancrafts they had a whole day of live and prerecorded videos from lots of the "celebrity" designers. So fun to see. The videos are in their feed and/or their IGTV. Your bag was so beautiful, too.

New Art Collection & Video

Today, I am thrilled to share with you my new art collection called "Inspired Blooms." These 16 painting were made this year, 2024. Last April, we attended a fantastic floral exhibit at South Coast Plaza Mall and I was so inspired. Shortly after this show, I sat down at my art table and starting creating my floral joys.  In this video you will see the Inspired Garden Girls, a portrait and 12 floral arrangements. Check out the video.  Video Link Here Painting these flowers these last four months has filled my heart with such comfort and joy. I hope these happy "Inspired Blooms" bring a smile to your face and peace to your heart like I experienced. Feel free to share this video with a friend, too. Let's spread the flower power! :)
