This calls for a CELEBRATION!

Yesterday, on National Scrapbook Day (NSD), I blog hopped a lot! and on Jillibean Soup's blog I found a sketch challenge I really loved. They had 3 sketches you could choose from and I loved them all.

In the end I went with this one:

I had an untouched Jillibean Soup line sitting in my brand new paper rack: Spotted Owl Soup. Originally a line for birthday celebrations, but if you leave out the word "birthday", you can use it for any celebration!! And as you know I LOVE owls .... So I decided to use this line for the photos of Mats' Swimming Test A, which he passed last month!

Here's the layout I created:

And of course I couldn't resist my Pennant Tool from Epiphany Crafts:

I added one item from another manu, a whale from Imaginisce (isn't he cute?):

Of course I (machine) stitched a lot: 

And did you do a lot of scrapping this weekend? Any challenges you entered?? Can't wait to see!

Thanks for stopping by and hope to see you back soon!
Hugs,
