NSD Layouts, Savings and Prizes!

Hello scrappy friends and happy National Scrapbook Day! Isn't is great that we have a whole day to share with scrapbooking, card-making and papercrafting friends all around the world?! Love it!

I was thrilled to be asked by Canadian Scrapbooker Magazine to help provide a little NSD inspiration for you today using some of favorite new Creative Memories products! Since the brand new Gallivant Travel Collection was JUST released by CM on May 1st, I didn't have the chance to get physical product in my hot little hands in time, so I turned to the Gallivant Digital Kit. (Isn't digital scrapbooking great? I actually created these layouts partly in a hotel room and partly in the car as my family and I had to go on an unexpected trip!)



I have a bunch of photos from our road trip last summer to the Okanagan, Vancouver and Whistler B.C. that I haven't scrapped yet, and when I saw the new Gallivant collection I knew it would be perfect to document that trip! The bright colors, fun patterns and retro icons will work great for so many different types of trips and travelling layouts, and I know I will be using them for cute "Bon Voyage" themed cards as well!

My first layout is a double page spread that I was able to include seven photos on, detailing our adventures along the Sea to Sky highway. Those adorable little car and station wagon icons are perfect for road trip pics! And adding digital shadows to them really makes them pop, just as if I was using foam squares underneath!

My second layout is a one page design based on the monthly sketch provided by Canadian Scrapbooker Magazine's Sketchy Gallery, and designed by Kerry Engel. I love to create sketches, but sometimes I need inspiration and I enjoy using other people's sketches for a fresh approach! May's sketch featured lots cute circles, so I made sure to "cut" my photos of my son and I on a Zipline adventure at Whistler into circles to mimic the sketch. I love how digital scrapbooking gives you the ability to adapt your photos, shapes, colors, textures so easily!
