Challenge Guidelines:
- Create a layout based on the PageMaps sketch above and send an image of it to us at ideas@scrapbookandcards.com.
- Please put “iNSD PageMaps challenge” in your reference line.
- Please ensure your image is less than 2mb.
- You have until May 15th to send in your submission. We will share a selection of today’s challenge submissions on May 17th!
But wait there’s more! Joining us to kick off the day we have Design Team member Lisa Dickinson here to share a fun layout that has us a little starry-eyed!
“Happy International Scrapbook Day everyone! It’s Lisa Dickinson and I’m excited to share a layout with you on this favorite holiday!
supplies | cardstock: Bazzill Basics; patterned paper: Amy Tangerine; alphabets: American Crafts; electronic cutter: Silhouette Cameo; date stamp: Project Life; misc buttons and thread.
I love a great frame cut file and it’s a simple and easy and way to establish a page design. This star circle frame is available in my Etsy shop and makes a perfect place to incorporate lots of pattern and color. I filled each star and circle with papers from the Amy Tangerine Hustle & Heart collection.
In the center of each star, I stitched various buttons for added texture and dimension. This is a great way to use up any “singles” you may have of brads, buttons, or enamel dots!
In the center of the frame, I added my photos, a block of journaling, and a title that uses a mix of letter stickers and a die-cut word.
Thanks for stopping by and celebrating iNSD with us – enjoy your day!”
~ Lisa Dickinson

Today me and my daughter will work on this layout! Thank you for a great idea and for a chance to win!
I truly love Lisa’s layout. I have a thing for stars-the buttons, the circle-I am definitely doing something like this. Happy NSD and thank you for all the years of inspiration, give aways, and fun. I know I promised to never enter another contest-but yellow is my favorite color, daffodils my favorite flower, and I adore the gingham and plaid papers in the kit. P.S. I’m using a better e-mail too!
Always love Lisa’s layouts! Great way to start the day
Lisa’s kickoff layout is very inspiring. I love the wreath cut file paired with stars. Everything in this layout gets attention: The photos, the title/journaling and of course the white wreath cut file backed w/pretty papers and topped with buttons. And there is even thread through each button!

Love the star frame and as a mom to boys I appreciate things that are not florals. I love my florals (as anyone who sees my stamp collection can attest to) but they do not work nearly as well as stars as an embellishment on a layout.
