iNSD -This Weekend!

So today begins a day that has been waited for for months!  First of, iNSD (inter)Nationap Scrapbook Day is MAY1.  There will be all sorts of games, speed scraps, prizes and SALES at Scrapmatters.  Visit here to play on iNSD and here to SHOP!  I definitely told Dave it was his Saturday with Jackson so I could scrap away (Is that selfish?)

Along with all that the designers are coming out with grab bags,  They are SO cheap for LOTS of product.  If you have been wondering how to make fabulous layouts for less, here is how!

Here is Purple Tulip Designs Grab Bag- Spring Fling:

and my layout:

Also, on Suzanne's blog you can pick up a FREE set of quickpages (no work for you) made from my favorite "too Cute Boy" kit 

Here is the one I made for it.

Next Mary at Plum Dumpling Designs made a fabulous FAMILY kit:

And Designs by Sarah Bennett made kit called LYLAS (Love you like a Sister)

and my Layout with my friend Chiyo from my mission.

WHEW!  I've been busy and LOVING the new kits.  They are REALLY cheap this weekend only.  Also, if you've been eyeing a kit, everything at the store is 30% off until Friday so go get 'em!

iNSD

For Newbies like me, iNSD stands for (inter)National Scrapbook Day.  It is an amazing weekend of sales, speedscraps, challenges, prizes and GREAT NEW PRODUCTS!  All of the CT's I am on are releasing amazing grab bags, which means they are a super low price FULL of products (kits, dates, elements, templates, etc).   Join me at Scrapmatters.com for lots of fun!  I told Dave it was his turn with Jackson and I will be scrapping up a storm all day long :)

Sunday Afternoons

A great collab by Sarah. This is perfect for relaxed, family time on Sunday. Here is my little guy at 2 weeks old.

Journaling reads:

'For two weeks after your birth, you slept for 20 hours a day & in any position! Other mothers were shocked that I felt ‘bored’. If only I had known to relish the moment! At about four weeks old, you started moving and squirming and haven’t stopped since!'

I love this kit!

Did I mention this kit is perfect for a little boy :) I love going back through pictures of my little one and remembering happy days from his early life. He is such a cutie!

Happy Birthday to WHO?
