American Crafts: National Scrapbook Day Blog Hop!


Welcome to the American Crafts National Scrapbook Day Blog Hop! Today a lot of the design team members are posting projects with challenges and giveaways and it's a great weekend to play along! (NOTE: I actually have two posts today - If you are looking for my Simple Stories/Create: Mini Albums giveaway, please visit this post.)

My challenge is to: Create a layout that mixes and matches alphabet stickers!

I love the new Mayberry collection from American Crafts, and I pulled out the patriotic colors in the collection for this layout of the girls' outfits from the 4th of July last year. 


One of my favorite American Crafts products is Thickers and I used a lot of the new Mayberry Thickers for my title. 


There are a lot of great stickers, chipboard, die-cuts and puffy stickers in this collection.



I also love the new burlap layered tags!


I also have a little giveaway today of this great assortment of American Crafts goodies. Leave a comment on this post by Saturday, May 11, 2013 and I'll randomly select a winner!!!

Here is the full blog hop list! Make sure you go through the entire hop, leave a comment on each blog, then visit the American Crafts blog to win a great prize!



Next on the hop is Corrie Jones

Happy National Scrapbook Day!
