Hello, and Happy National Scrapbooking Day! In honor of this auspicious day, my colleague and fellow craftista Lisa Falduto is guesting blogging for me. And guess what we’ve got in store?? A preview of her new kit company AND a Giveaway! Lisa, take it away…
Hello Craft Test Dummies fans!
I am delighted to be visiting Jenny’s awesome crafty blog on National Scrapbook day! I love celebrating this day each year since scrapbooking is near and dear to my heart. I hope each and every one of you is involved in something crafty today to celebrate! It doesn’t even have to be scrapbook related, but I challenge you to take some time out of your day and craft!
In recognition of National Scrapbook day I wanted to share two things with you!
1. I am in the process of starting up an online Scrapbook project kit website called Paper Fashions Boutique. You can find the site at www.paperfashionsboutique.com and the site will go live with kits for sale at the beginning of June. My concept is going to be project based kits that will be shipped to your door with supplies and full step by step instructions. I will be offering a rotating variety of kits including scrapbook layouts, home decor/altered items, cards and mini albums. Each month will be something unique and distinctive. Visit my website now and sign up for my newsletter so you don’t miss out on any of the action!
2. In honor of National Scrapbook Day and my new business venture I want to give a special creation away exclusively to the readers of Craft Test Dummies! In the photo is a lovely birdhouse which is perfect for your fireplace mantle or table centerpiece. This would also look lovely on a 4 season porch, or anywhere else in your home where you want to wake up feeling like summer has arrived!
Win This Birdhouse!
Read on to find out how to win the birdhouse shown above!
