National Scrapbooking Month--May 2014 Challenge 2

Did you know each year the first Saturday in May is (inter)National Scrapbooking Day? And since a day isn't enough, May is also National Scrapbooking Month! Let's continue the celebration . . . 

In Challenge 1 you were asked to follow instructions to create your own Passport to Fun project. Thank you for your participation!

This is your next challenge: Find a Club Scrap Creates blog entry that has inspired you, and use it to create your own artwork. Over the years our contributing bloggers have shared projects, techniques, card formulas and more. We all have that post that left us thinking, "I can't wait to try that someday." Someday has arrived!

Once your artwork is completed, photograph and share it using the Linky Tool below. Add a comment in the "Comments" section sharing the link from the Club Scrap Creates Blog that inspired your artwork and your "Linky" number. You'll have two weeks share what you've created for a chance at some really cool prizes. 

Julie has provided a sample in Linky #1 and what should be included in the comments field below.

Since we are such social creatures, it wouldn't be the same without a place to chat! Julie has set up a thread at the Coffeehouse Forum. It's the perfect place to brainstorm ideas, ask questions and wax poetic about your Club Scrap Creates inspired artwork.

This NSD challenge starts today at 10am Central. Post your finished artwork using the Linky Tool through Friday, May 30 at 11:55pm Central. Julie will announce the giveaway winner(s) in a blog post on Saturday May 31. Have fun, and good luck!

National Scrapbooking Month--May 2014

Did you know each year the first Saturday in May is (inter)National Scrapbooking Day? Well, we here at Club Scrap decided we needed more than just one day to celebrate, so why not all month?

There was such a great response to my Hydrangeas blog hop project we thought it would be fun to create a challenge around it. We've "unlocked" the previously private links to the instructions and video tutorial for the Passport to Fun (Retreat 2012) project so I can share it with you!

The "original" Retreat 2012 Passport to Fun mini album.

So here's the challenge: Create your own Passport to Fun mini scrapbook using the instructions available HERE as a guide. You can alter the size, color, style or number of envelopes (keeping in mind it should be an "odd" number to accordion-fold correctly). Use your choice of Club Scrap papers and embellishments to decorate your book, and finish it with your favorite photos. If you own this Retreat project, but haven't finished it yet, then now's your chance to pull that baby out and get 'er done! (Mother's Day gift, anyone?)

Once your project is completed, photograph and share it using the Linky Tool below. Add a comment in the "Comments" section below, sharing a brief description about your book and which number "Linky" you are. You'll have two weeks to make and share your project for a chance at some really cool prizes.

And since we are all such social creatures, it wouldn't be the same without a place to chat, right? Julie has set up a chat thread over at the Coffeehouse Forum for just such an occasion. It's the perfect place to brainstorm ideas, ask questions and wax poetic about your Passport to Fun-inspired mini albums.

This NSD challenge starts today at 10am Central. Post your finished project using the Linky Tool through Friday, May 16 at 11:55pm Central. Julie will announce the giveaway winner(s) in her blog post on Monday, May 19. Have fun and good luck!
