National Scrapbooking Day!

Hope you are having fun on this National Scrapbooking Day!  There are tons of on-line challenges.  Check out these at Two Peas or at Counterfeit Kit Club Blog.

I've started on the latter by assembling a small kit of products.  I did cheat a bit and pick out some photos first.  The way they are approaching the kits is so clever.  You have CSI like files with "Evidence" "Testimony" "The Sketch."  I picked one with a blue, red, gray and white color scheme.

Today also happened to coincide with finally completing all the weeks 1-3 videos (whew!) from the Behind the Art class so I'm making my first canvas.  I've started with something small using only paints and stamps.  This is not as easy as it might look.  I made a real mess and had a marvelous time.  Next week we find out what we are putting on our canvases.

Of course, I've spent a fair amount of time on-line looking at the challenges and shopping - of course!  If you have a national day in honor of something, you have to spend money.  It is the American thing to do, right?

So I'd better get the kitchen cleaned up (my only chore today) and get back to my craft room.  Happy crafting!
