Happy National Scrapbooking Day!!! Join the Challenge

So let's celebrate with a Saturday Challenge.  Along with it being National Scrapbooking Day, it is also my wonderful husbands birthday!!!!  And funny enough, his father's as well.  So, in honor of that, today's challenge will be to create a birthday themed project (card, layout, altered item, etc).  Also, if you leave a comment on this post, sending Dominick and Nonno some love, you will get entered in a second drawing!!!  Our first prize for entering the challenge is a fiskars cupcake border punch:

I love this punch and it adds just that little something to your projects!!!  Now, if you take the time to send some birthday love this way, you will be entered to win a Tim Holtz Tiny Attacher!!!! Yippee

Entering the challenge is easy.  Simply post your project on your blog.  Then add your name to the Mister Linky below.  Then our visitors can click on your name to visit your blog and see your submission. 

Entering for the bonus prize is even easier.  Just leave a comment on this post sending some birthday love to my husband and father in law and you'll be in!  It's that easy. 
This Challenge will run from today May 7, 2011 to Friday May 13, 2011 at Midnight
From the girls here at Paper Wings, we would like to wish you all a very happy National Scrapbooking Day.  I commend you all for taking the time to preserve your precious memories for the generations to come!  Have a great weekend!!!

Happy Saturday! Time for a Challenge....
