Five on Friday - NSD prequel

Tomorrow is National Scrapbook Day and I have several things to share, so I thought I'd start a day early and split up what would be a long blog post as part of my Friday "every once in a while" fives.

1.  Studio Calico wants to be YOUR NSD destination.  We have challenges, chats, make n takes, and inspiration galore.  The post of events has gone live, so be sure to check the Studio Calico blog for what's happening this weekend.  Kimberly and I have a stitching challenge and I also have a make n take to inspire you (especially if you still need something for Mother's Day). 

2.  TwoPeas wants you to shop shop shop this weekend and has a lot of fun deals going on:
     Free Gift with Purchase
     Offers over $25 will receive a free 6x6 paper pad (ooh.  Maybe they'll be on of the new Crate Paper lines).
     Free shipping for orders over $30.  Use code NSD511 at checkout.
     An extra 10% off sale and clearance items.

If nothing else, stock up on basics like kraft cardstock and adhesive.  I had to race to Walmart the other day because I was OUT of glue dots.  Out out out.

3.  Crate Paper is having a great big giveaway tomorrow, and I am so honored to have created a really fun project for it.  Here's a peek:

(Featuring the Neighborhood line)

It's going to be a sweet prize and my project includes a tutorial so I hope you'll check it out.

4.  I will have something fun to share from Scrapbook and Cards tomorrow as well.  Some fun things are in the future for my Canadian friends so I can't wait to share! 

5.  That's it for scrappity!  Tomorrow morning I'm running in a 5k that supports a sweet little girl in her battle against leukemia, and then tomorrow afternoon I'm headed to town to take Morgan to a slumber party and take Payton to Red Robin and then to the movies for a mama / daughter date.  The plan is to see Rio.  Dad is working and will be home Sunday morning. 

Not much crafting will be had, but I'll be blogging! 

Have a great night and a wonderful weekend!  As I said, be sure to check back here for NSD fun!  Davinie
