Saturday Craft Link Love Swap #25

::: Craft ::: Link ::: Love :::

On Saturdays, a group of my crafting friends and I are gathering up our best links to share with each other. The idea is to send our readers to other crafters and artists whose work we admire.

So join in the fun and make the rounds. And if you see something you like, please leave some love (comments) behind – especially on links which don’t have much yet. We all could use a little love :-D

Today is National Scrapbooking Day.

This event was started by Creative Memories in 1994 and is celebrated the first Saturday in May each year. You’ll find lots of specials and freebies surrounding this annual event; as well as in-store crop meets and raffles for cool scrapbooking supplies. Check your local paper for events near you.

It’s nice that CM chose Saturday when more people can carve out a little “me time”. So go scrapbook a memory, a message, a dream or even a design to be incorporated into another project today.

Happy Scrappy Day!
