And since this is National Srapbooking Day!! (yippee!!!) anyone who posts to this thread between now and Monday night telling us about what they did on Saturday to celebrate will get their name in for a draw for a RAK from me. You will get your name added to the draw again if you use Anna's sketch as an inspiration for one of your layouts this weekend! So, let us know. You don't have to post it, we will take your word for it. But if you do post it somewhere on your blog or in a forum, tell us where to find it.We'd love to see it!!!
Have a great day, everyone!!!

Oh I love the sketch!! And the layout is so beautiful and filled with lovely details! :-)
As for the National Scrapbooking day I will be scrapping, of course. Scrapbooking is a rather new hobby here in Denmark, but it grows everyday and this year some forums/blogs are celebration the National Scrapbooking day. So I will be doing some challenges and I look forward to a whole day of being creative!!
Have a HAPPY NATIONAL SCRAPBOOKING DAY!!

Happy NSD. Saturday is a busy day for me with gym class and DD's football game, but I found some time to do a couple of digi layouts and I started a traditional layout using Anna's gorgeous sketch. Hopefully I'll finish it off tomorrow and upload to my blog. Thanks for the gorgeous inspiration.
Great sketch!!! I have been hanging out at 3Scrapateers today! :) They are having a super fun NSD celebration!
I'm off the Family Resouce Centre today to scrap the day away! I'm bringing the sketch with me!
Happy NSD!

Happy National Scrapbooking Day!
I haven't really done much scrappy-related today! I finished a card and started a layout...and I was on some MBs...and posted a challenge...Now I'm going to tackle that sketch next! {I'm abandoning all housework for the rest of the day!} :0) Beautiful layout BTW!
Hope everyone had a happy NSD :) I did. Been scrapping & will definately give the sketch a try. Off now to squeeze in a final bit of scrapping before the day is over.
I am most definitely scrapping today!! Working on getting some of the Mother's Day stuff done, as well as cards to send out for the day!
Happy National Scrapbook Day!!!
I am scrapping all day :)
What did I do on NSD scrap of course.

Happy National Scrapbooking Day!
What fabulous sketch!
I spent Saturday, scrapping. I only got one layout completed, but it was for a challenge...4 of us participated. We each had the same photos and journaling and title, which was provided by a non-playng party. We each saw the photos for the first time at the same time and then had 3 hours to scrap them...then we posted at the end to see how the layouts differed. The best part...our friend now has four wonderful and different layouts of her daughters...one which just arrived on April 29th, 2008.
I did realize that I am a slow scrapper, but quick to learn a new software program quickly. LOL
Sorry about the book, but it was a fun day.

Great sketch! I spent today scrapping - all day with nothing else to distract me except a week's worth of TIVO that I was semi-watching at the same time. It was awesome & I finished 7 LOs. I am planning more of the same tomorrow & will try my hand at the sketch, too.
Fab sketch/layout! I had planned on scrapping for NSD but as we have a bank holiday Monday here in the UK I decided to use the long weekend to remodel my scrap room.
If I can get it finished today I get to scrap all day Monday! Not a bad way to spend NSD i think!
I love the sketch and the way Anna's layered the letters.
I spent the day at a crop I organised. I was very productive but by 3pm I'd peaked and started to tidy up. My sister had also finished all she'd taken with her and asked if had any spare photos she could scrap. Needless to say she had lots of offers of spae photos but I think she really wanted photos of her daughter, my niece. LOL

I just started scrapping when i was invited by a friend to attend a scrapbook group on NSD. The most fun I've had in some time, I completed 3 pages, and I intend to use Anna's layout tonight to complete another page. I'll let you all know how I make out.....
I love this sketch!! I did lots of SB shopping (many sales going on) and joined in an continuous online challenge. Sadly I didnt make it to be the ultimate scrapper in the challenge but it was fun tho taxing being on my toes all the time!! Really stretched my creativity!

Well I did it ladies...I used Anna's LO!!! My first page entirely on my own with no guidance whatsoever...And I must say I am enjoying this new hobby!! Happy Scrapping everyone!
I'm just about done my layout based on Anna's sketch. Taking a break for dinner before I put the finishing touches on. Probably won't get a pic on my blog until tomorrow but thanks for the awesome sketch!!!
NSD was spent going to yard sales with my DD and then later scrapping after she went to bed. I got 1 more page completed for the week. That makes 6 LO's this week! I guess I can say that I celebrated all week!
Back to post a link with my LO inspired by Anna's sketch. Thanks for the challenge, perfect end to a happy weekend spent scrapbooking.
