Let the Festivities Begin......

That's right.....(Inter) National Scrapbook Day festivities have finally arrived! There's so much going on and so much I have to tell you so let's begin with one of my favorites. As I'm sure you're all aware, I am a huge fan of Ettes & Company. I was so excited when I found out that they were going to allow me to create a quick page to give away for FREE during the NSD festivities. Here it is! It was created using one of the 3 (yes that's right! 3) new kits that were just added to the Ettes store this week! This kit is called Magical Memories. It really is magical what you can do with it! I hope you like it! Just click here to download the FREE file! If you want the kit it can be found here.

Note: link to download has been disable.

Need a little inspiration on how to use the quick page? Here's a layout I created with it called Fun Times.

A couple of my fellow CT members also have some freebies for you. Go check out these blogs:

Also, I just have to show you a couple of other really cute layouts I was able to do with the Magical Memories kit.


Isn't he just so darn cute in this Mousey dance outfit! LOL! Ssssshhh! don't tell him I put this one on my blog!

And if you think that kit was really cute.....check out the Pirates Collection. Got any Mateys in your family? This kit was so much fun to work with! Here's another one from that awesome kit!

No pirates in your family? Well don't be dismayed......here's another new kit, the Princess Collection. It's just perfect for that girly girl Princess in your life! Or use it to show off your own inner Princess! LOL!

So if you like one of these kits (or all of them like I do!), head on over to Ettes & Company. Starting at midnight tonight until midnight tomorrow there will be all sorts of fun. They're having a scavenger hunt that sounds absolutely fun with some great giveaways as well. And there's a layout contest going on too!

But that's not the only fun going on this weekend. Check out the sweet deals at Scrapable this weekend! Their May collab kit is absolutely beautiful!

Here are a couple of layouts I created using the May collab, One Kit For All Families! Check it out here.

Whew....I think that's all for now. I'm off to take a nap so I can get back up at midnight and start checking out all the fun activities and spend some of that money that's been burning a hole in my pocket! I've definitely had to restrain myself from buying any of the awesome kits that have come out. I've been waiting for this day for a long time! See you around digiland this weekend!
