Happy National Scrapbooking Day!!!

Hello Crafty Friends!

As many of you probably know, today is National Scrapbooking Day. And there are so many challenges going on today.

My Pink Stamper is hosting her 4th annual NSD challenge. She posted 1 challenge per hour for 12 hours! That's 1 challenge per hour! I wasn't able to do them one per hour in order, but she is giving everyone until Monday to complete as many as you can (or want). And, she has a giveaway for each challenge! I don't usually win giveaways, but I wanted to spend some time crafting today, and challenges are a great way to get inspiration!

Here are some of my entries for the challenges. I'm not doing them in order, so I'll be adding them to this post as I complete them.
