Hey everyone! All of us here at Studio Calico are ready to spend the whole weekend celebrating (inter)National Scrapbook (and card and Project Life) day, and we hope you are too! We have a lot of fun planned, so this post will serve as the NSD 2013 home base with links to everything that's going on.
One lucky winner will receive a $100 gift card to Studio Calico. Will it be you?? To have a chance at this amazing prize, enter ANY of our NSD challenges below. Each and every challenge entry earns you another grand prize entry, so break out the paper and glue and see how many you can complete!
We asked our scrapbook, card and Project Life Creative Teams to each issue three challenges to all of you. And then we asked them to take those challenges & show you how they can apply to any sort of project. The result is 9 challenges, a set of sketches, and enough inspiration to keep you working all week long!
All of our NSD challenges are open until May 13th, and each one has a prize attached. ;) You may combine challenges - just make sure to link them up on each one you complete!
