Hey Girl! Do you have plans for National Scrapbook  Day yet?

National Scrapbook Day is officially May 5th this year, but National Scrapbook Day “Season” is now through mid May.

My good friend Ryan (–> -ha!) and I believe strongly that attending local scrapbooking crops, classes, retreats & other events in person is HUGE for keeping you inspired & motivated. Attending local events helps you remember to have FUN with your scrapping, exposes you to new styles & techniques … and provides a valuable personal connection to like-minded paper crafters!

In fact, socializing & cropping with other scrappers is so important that Ryan & I are giving away a HUGE National Scrapbook Day Prize Package to encourage you to attend a local event near YOU! Check it out …

It helps me organize, see, use & store my supplies …. and it’s super easy to stow & go for a crop! The ScrapRack is donating a $50 gift certificate to their online store for you to select a a TravelPack or another item of choice.

Don’t you love getting a new scrap mag in the mail? Or sneaking one into your grocery shop or Target run as a little “treat” for yourself? I received my May/June 2012 Creating Keepsakes on Friday. What a fun treat for my weekend!

My issue arrived in perfect condition but today, it sits here beside me dog-earned, warped and slightly wavy from being used as a coaster. That’s the sign of a good magazine, huh? When it’s been thoroughly ENJOYED!!

May/June CK 2012 – 10 Things I Loved Most!

1. Trendy AND Practical Layouts: This issue contains the trendy, artsy style layouts as well as the more practical multi-photo double pagers …. a nice mix of scrapbook ideas and inspiration!
2. Advertisements: Can I admit that enjoy the ads in CK? I always learn about a new kit club or product or scrapbooking event that I didn’t know about previously.  And I always enjoy seeing the bright colors and “eye candy” in ads from the major scrapbooking players!
3. Creative Spaces: You know we love craft storage ideas — so I particularly enjoyed the “creative spaces” article by Megan Hoeppner. What fun to get an insider’s look at the 7Gypsies studio. I was also inspired by the the feature of Teri Lopez’s closet turned craft space!
4. Storage Ideas: We are “Wild for Washi Tape” here at PaperCrafter’s Corner. The Washi Tape storage idea on page 66 of the mag is genius and adorable!
5. Photo Tricks : Love me some photo tricks that don’t require any fiddling with your camera!
6. Same Layout, 2 (or more) Ways: This is one of my all-time favorite ways to learn about scrapbooking. In the “Easy Tricks for Translation” article (p77-85), you get to see the exact same layout done in both single pagers as well as double-pagers. LOVE this!
7. Ticket Please Border Punch: In the “latest & greatest” article, CK always shares some of their new fave products. Yes, that Jenni Bowlin / Fiskars Border Punch is now officially on my must-have list
8. Michael’s Coupon: There’s a Michael’s Coupon for 20% off your entire regular priced purchase on page 15. Enough said
9. Kitchen Inspired Scrapbooking: An entire article about using baker’s twine, doilies, cupcake liners, recipe cards and more. Fun!
10. Tips, tricks, techniques, ideas, free printables, a giveaway opportunity and more. Whew!
