**** scroll down the post for the blog train stop! ****

****Popping in to give an update:****
Due to an overwhelming amazing NSD weekend with sales, chats, contests, blog hops, etc... the ScrapMatters server has intermittently not been able to keep up with the large volume of traffic. I'm sorry for any frustration. Just know that SM will continue to honor sale prices if you are unable to get through. For some reason this happens EVERY time we have a big sale like this. There were 900+ people in the shop throughout the day, so it's hoppin'! Please try to remain calm and patient and try not to get too annoyed with our limping site!!!!
We're doing our very best!! Thanks so much for your business and your patience!
**** back to our regular scheduled program***

Welcome! You've just arrived in Minnesota at Sahlin Studio, your next stop on the ScrapMatters [inter]National Scrapbooking Day blog train. You have probably just come from http://plumdumplingdesigns.blogspot.com

Our NSD mega-collab at SM this weekend is called "Moments that Matter" and the theme of our celebration is all about those moments in our lives that really matter. At each stop you'll find a story about a Moment that Matters along with a freebie!! So hop on the train, you can pick up a TON of goodies!!

When I think of a 'moment that matters' that first that comes to mind is spending time with my family up north at the lake! We are there every weekend in the summer... it's SO wonderful. Just to be with them... with no housework, no yard work, no work, just each other. We skip rocks, sit on the beach, sit and swing, boating, eating. Sigh. I can't wait to do it all again!!



And now, you're freebie!!

Link will be active until midnight Thursday night 5/6.

Enjoy!!! And now you're off to the next stop on the blog train . . .

Blog Hoppin' along and special (i)NSD BYOC!

Tweet

For those of you on the blog hop!! You're in the right place!

In honor of (i)NSD (National Scrapbooking Day), The Lily Pad is having 6 return guest designers for an extra special BYOC . And much to my surprise... they asked me to come back for this exciting event! I was so happy & honored to be asked - really, everyone likes to feel loved once in awhile, right?

When I saw the amazing BYOC (Build Your Own Collab) color swatch for this month one word came to mind - vintage. One of my favorite things about vintage is the playful & carefree combinations of colors and patterns. From the textiles of the 20's, to the cutting edge couture of the 60's, bold geometrics and colorful florals are all the rage! My release for today, Vintage Vogue capture's that vintage "kitschy" & heirloom feeling with fabric covered buttons, realistic Polaroid frames, sewing notions and celluloid trims. The paper pack combines funky plaids with bold, colorful florals, and is just made for layering.
Overall, today's new releases are perfect for capturing all of your colorful life's memories- from mom's home-ec projects to a fresh spring day :) ALL BYOC GOODIES ARE 20% OFF THIS Weekend too!!

Of course the fun doesn't stop there! The Lilypad is holding a blog train in celebration of our "holiday", and its sure to be filled with a bunch of fabulous goodies!! Be sure to check below for a FREE Quickpage using some of the BYOC goods, and hop along for more free pages!

Alright, we all have lots to see and much to do, so lets get right down to it, shall we?
