interNational Scrapbook Day 2024

It's the one day of the year which most scrapbookers look forward to, interNational Scrapbook Day... a day to celebrate our awesome hobby by doing what we love... scrapbooking! 

And in the digital world we celebrate just as hard. There are sales and challenges going on all weekend long actually. Here's some of what's happening:

Sweet Shoppe

There are a host of challenges going on here with lots of 14 scrapping ones. I managed to do most of them so I will share my layouts in a separate post. (Closing date is Monday)

The Lilypad

Bart the frog is hoping all around the forum looking for kisses. There are also games as well as a few scrapping challenges running. I hope to get some done and will share my layouts soon. (Closing date is Tuesday)

Gingerscraps 

Besides the usual scavanger hunt there are also fun challenges which I will share in a separate post when I've done them all. (Closing date is Thursday)

MissFish has a separate Two Template Tango on her facebook group which I also hope to finish.

So it's been a crazily busy day but I have loved the shopping, the games and most definitely the scrapping.
