Happy National Scrapbooking Day!

If you enjoy scrapbooking (and you probably do since you are visiting my blog), today is National Scrapbook Day.  It was started in 1994 and is celebrated on the first Saturday each May. I read somewhere that there are online groups petitioning the U.S. Government to make National Scrapbook Day a Federal holiday. If they moved it to Monday, it would be a Federal holiday I wish my employer gave us off from work. :-)

In honor of National Scrapbooking Month, Close to My Heart has created a special paper packet that you can only purchase during the month of May: Dream Pop!

This paper packet includes 12 cardstock sheets as well as 12 B&T Duos^® papers that are exclusive to and specifically designed for this packet. By the way, these cardstock sheets are not simply cardstock. They each have a different clear embossed design on one side and are plain on the other.

By now you are asking yourself how you can get your own packet of Dream Pop. There are three ways: place an order for $35 or more in current, retail-priced items in May and when you check out you will be presented with the option to add Dream Pop to your order for only $10 plus applicable shipping and handling; the packet is valued at $19.95 retail, so this is a great price OR hostesses with a May Gathering that reach $400 or more in sales will receive one paper packet for free OR sign up to become a new Independent Consultant during May and you will receive Dream Pop with your New Consultant Kit.

Place your orders today because when supplies run out, Dream Pop will only be a memory.

When ordering Dream Pop, your order will only be $5 from reaching $50 which qualifies you to purchase the May Stamp of the Month: Pinwheel for $5. Please consider adding the SOTM to your order because I have a Dream Pop Workshop Guide to share and many of the ideas use the SOTM.

If you are not familiar with CTMH products, I would love the opportunity to meet with you so you have a chance to try them. If you know what you would like to purchase, click the Shop Now link below to place an order. Do not hesitate to contact me if you have questions about any CTMH product or promotion or to schedule a Home or Online Gathering.

Finally, a site that I have found much inspiration (and support) for my scrapbooking and cardmaking, Crop Chocolate, is hosting National Scrapbooking Challenges for the entire week. Stop by and check out the eight challenges. You will find them under Community > Contests. Joining is free and entries are due Friday, May 10 at 8am MDT. If you have trouble navigating the site or posting your entries just ask for help in "Box of Chocolates" as there is an abundance of people there that are helpful and supportive.
