Show your stuff!

It's time to show us why you scrapbook! We all have our reasons. It may be the day ten little toes and a button-nose made you a Mommy, the furry friend who gets excited at your footstep, the vacation you will never forget, or when your sweetheart committed to loving only you forever. Maybe you want to be remembered, or maybe you are trying to not forget. Whichever reason inspires you to grab your cutting system and adhesives to create your albums, we want to know.

Creation Station is holding its first-ever scrapbook contest. In celebration of the Dream Scrapbook Room with The Parade of Homes, "Why I Scrapbook" is kicking off today to count down to the room's grand revealing on October 13th. An astounding 20 winners will be announced! All winners will be featured in a scrapbook album to be displayed in the Dream Scrapbook Room - not to mention the prizes!





The Grand Prize Winner will receive the Pink Tool Bag by EK Success filled with all of the essentials and even those little luxuries that we love about scrapbooking. Inside you will find:

• Pink Cutterpede® Paper Trimmer to quickly cut paper
• Cutterpede® Score Blade to precisely fold paper
