We have tons of giveaways that will be happening throughout the day, so keep checking our feed and facebook page as well!

We’ll be giving away a few prizes so be sure to play along and check back on Saturday night April 26th to see if you’re the lucky winner!

Here are the different ways you can play along:

1. Like Creative Scrappers on Facebook

2. Giveaways will be done on our Facebook page all day today!

3. Help spread the birthday news.

I got to play with this awesome sketch created by Kristine Davidson and it was a joy to work with!

I used the Teresa Collins Daily Stories collection, which I think was a perfect fit for these photos. It was a huge challenge for me to do some handwritten journaling. I'm always scared to ruin my layout, but I thought I just had to do it.

Here's the bloghop order

Clique Kits - April Honor Society Blog Hop

Welcome to the Clique Kits Pep Rally! Along the hop you'll find lots of gorgeous projects made with the April kit Debutante.

For this blog hop we all share a little bit about ourselfs to get to know the person behind the project a little better. A very important part of my life is traveling, I love to see and explore many parts of the world. It is also the perfect way to escape from reality and having nothing to worry about, it keeps me sane!

Because of all the traveling I have seen so many airports, but McCarran International airport in Las Vegas is my favorite. I love how close it is to the Strip, which gives you a perfect view when you arrive or leave. The last time I left Las Vegas I decided to take some shots during take off. The title 'to be continued' is because I'm 100% sure I'll be back here!

Now it's time for you to check out what my Clique friends have created, so here's your hop list.

DT Life.Paper.Scrapbook. - April Mood Board challenge

It's time for a new Mood Board challenge at Life.Paper.Scrapbook. and I'm totally in love with these bright colors!

Of course I had to go with the Amy Tangerine Plus One collection, to me it was the best fit to the mood board. I chose a picture that was as colorful as possible. It's taken during a ride on the Caro-seuss-el in Island of Adventures, which is one of my favorites!

This challenge is sponsored by Sassy Scrappers, an Australian based online scrapbook boutique offering a wide range of products and stocking major brands such as Prima, Heidi Swapp, American Crafts and Project Life.

DT Paper Issues - Pitch Perfect

We have a new issue for you at Paper Issues: Pitch Perfect! You can think of many subjects to link up: singing, a capella groups, playing an instrument, your favorite baseball team (pitching), your favorite movie, your idea of perfection, camping (pitching a tent), toddler tantrums (pitching a fit) etc.

This issue is sponsored by Lawn Fawn. We got this awesome 'Stay Tuned' stamp set to work with and the best news is that you can win this set if you join our issue!!

My dad is singing in a chanty choir and a picture of the choir was perfect for this issue. I grew up with the old sailor songs that they sing and to me it's a joy to see them perform. It reminds of me the days that my grandfather played the accordion, which brings back so many beautiful memories. I also got the love for a wide variety of music from my dad and I'll be forever thankful for that!

For the layout I went for the Dear Lizzy Daydreamer collection, which is actually a girly collection but I always like to use a collection in a different way than the obvious. I also added some embellishments from the Paper Issues March Swag Bag and of course I used the Lawn Fawn 'Stay Tuned' stamp set.

In case you didn't noticed yet, the new Webster's Pages products arrived at the Paper Issues store. So hurry to grab them while they are still there and use my code DANIELLE20 for 20% off your entire purchase!

Thanks for stopping by and have fun creating for our new issue!

DT Creative Scrappers - sketch #266

We're having a new sketch for you at Creative Scrappers and it's sponsored by Scraptastic kit club.

When I saw this sketch, I immediately thought of the Teresa Collins Daily Stories collection because of the Circles paper. I used a 1,5 inch circle punch and created the circle border.
