Hello all!

Happy National Scrapbooking Day to you!  We have some super fun stuff going on here!  You can play along this week for your chance to win 3 prizes!

Here is the hop information.....

Laura

ScrapMuch?

That's not so hard right?  Three blogs, three comments and a chance for a prize!

Your second chance to win is super easy too!  All you have to do is 'like us' on Facebook (there is a link in our right hand side bar) and leave a little comment there, too!  If you already 'like us'.... just leave a comment.

And your third chance to win isn't all that hard either.  We know you are all crafting today.... and maybe even all week long!  Just link up one of your fabulous creations for your third chance to win!  Creations must be made between May 3rd and May 11th, no back links please.  Easy Peasy, right?

Now, to wrap things up, you do not have to play along with each challenge to win, in one category.  But really why wouldn't you?  It is super fun and easy and triples your chances to win!

And just so we don't leave you with a naked post.... here is a little something crafty to look at.

Happy hopping and Happy National Scrapbooking Day!

Each of us has created a card to share with you.....

Anita

Elaine

Laura

Now for the fun part!  You get to play along too!  All you have to do is create any card of your choice.... there are no specification on layout, product or colour... it's is an anything goes challenge.  Then link it up.  You can enter up to 3 times,  well you can link up as many cards as you would like to share but you can only earn up to 3 ballots in the draw for this fun card makers prize pack......

Now  World Card Making Day is really only one day, but given that this is a holiday weekend for us Canadians ... I  probably won't be available to do a draw for a winner... this means that you get an extra couple of days to play!  The challenge will close on Tuesday the 9th at 11 am.

Have fun and thanks for visiting!
