If all goes well the 11th edition of the Canadian Scrapbookers Blog Carnival will be posted Thursday, July 3rd, with the deadline for submissions being Wednesday, July 2nd.
Yesterday I was reminded of the fact that June is often considered wedding month. We went out with friends to celebrate their 10th wedding anniversary and we bumped into 2 other couples that were also celebrating their anniversary, and in talking they listed a bunch of other people with anniversaries around the same time. So.... Have you created any wedding or anniversary layouts, cards, or projects, you'd like to share?
As always, this topic is merely a suggestion, not a restriction.
Send in your submissions as soon as possible so that you don't forget about it. I look forward to reading the submissions. Be sure to read the submission guidelines in the sidebar.
Please continue to help spread the word about the carnival. Add a carnival widget or blinkie to your blog. Post about the carnival in your scrapbooking forums and email groups. Tell all your friends.
Happy scrapping!

10th edition!
Welcome to the 10th edition of the Canadian Scrapbookers Blog Carnival!
Unfortunately we didn't get any invitations from British Columbia this time around so we'll start this trip in the next province.
Our first stop is in Alberta, where Ali has invited use to drop in to Scrapbooker's Club House for a visit. Just yesterday they had a questions and answer chat with Canadian scrapbook artist and teacher, Carolyn Peeler and Ali points out that "The Q&A Chat format at SBCH allows the interview to remain conveniently in place on our Forum for you to read, enjoy and refer back to at your convenience." So be sure to check it out.
Next we travel to Saskatchewan where we have two invitations to visit.
This is a our first visit with Jodi Lynn and she shows us a beautiful altered journal she made for a teacher's gift as she reminds us Summer's upon us. In her invitation to visit she said "My son and daughter had the most amazing teachers this year. I know that they work extra hard and I have no idea how they can accomplish so much through out the year. I made each of them a journal to show my appreciation for their hard work."
Next we'll drop in with Sheryl as explains a neat technique she used on the journaling note of the layout she completed for a Round 4 Challenge in a game/contest she's participating in.
Moving into Manitoba Denise has invited us to check out the new challenge blog, Scrapping out loud! that she, and her friends Jessica and Melissa, just started. Challenges will be posted every Tuesday, with the first challenge being posted July 1st. Every one that completes a challenge and leaves a comment with a link to their creation will have a chance to win a monthly prize/RAK.
Moving into Ontario, we'll take advantage of an invitation from Sylvia and make a first time stop in at Scrapbooking Oasis. Sylvia tells us about their two blogs, one which updates on new products and sales, while the second one is their designer blog. They offer freelance for those interested in designing. Check out the details on their blog.
No invitations to visit in Quebec, New Brunswick or Prince Edward Island this time around so we'll quickly skip over thse provinces.
In Nova Scotia we'll stop in for a first time visit with Lisa. She tell us she used a 2 Sketches 4 You sketch to create a really neat graduation card in 2S4U.
Our last stop is in Newfoundland to visit with Deanne as she exclaims, "Oh my, I've gone over the 20, 000 mark!!! RAK!!!" and shares some of her recent creations. For a chance at her celebrations RAK all you have to do is find inspiration on her blog and leave a comment with a link to your creation before June 30th.
And that's the end of this week's trip across our country as we visited with scrappers along the way. Thank you to each of you for the invitations to visit. I hope you will invite us again. Thanks also to each of you that came along for the trip. Make sure you take a moment to let our hosts know that you appreciated the invitation to visit with them by leaving a comment on their blogs.
Please continue to help spread the word about the carnival. Add a carnival widget or blinkie to your blog. Post about the carnival in your scrapbooking forums and email groups. Tell all your friends, especially your friends that are in Quebec or Prince Edward Island, as we've yet to visit in either of those provinces.

Happy scrappin' everyone!

9th Edition
Welcome to the 9th edition of the Canadian Scrapbookers Blog Carnival!
We're going to start this trip in British Columbia, where we have two invitations to visit.
First we'll drop in on Izzy as she shows us a neat slide show of lots of different Mini Albums she's made in the past.
After that we'll pop in to visit Lois as she asks us "Ever Wonder What to Do With... empty ribbon rolls" and shows us a neat mini album she made with one.
No invitations to visit in Alberta or Saskatchewan this time around so we'll skip right over them. Hopefully we'll get some inviations to visit next time so that we won't have so far to travel without stopping. :)
Next up we have two new invitations to visit in Manitoba.
As we visit with Allison, she invites us to check out two of her online businesses Eyelet Canada and Pizza Box Kits. She tells us that Eyelet Canada "started when I had to go to the US for every different brads and eyelet I wanted. I decided to start my own online business, and I now feature lots of fun stuff from many different manufacturers all over the world. My 16 year old daughter now fills the orders as a part time job. We offer free shipping and taxes included in our prices, which keeps people coming back." Later she started Pizza Box Kits "to take the brads and eyelets further- we add all kinds of little goodies to our kits to make them extra yummy. FREE shipping as well!" Sounds like they are worth checking out.
After that we'll drop in on Nicole as she says "Join Us!!" and tells us about an online crop that members of Love is in the Details have organized for June 20 & 21.
Next we're off to Ontario, where we also have two invitations to visit.
First we'll drop in on Jennifer as she says "Here is an oldie...and a RAK" and she shares a mini album card she made for her hubby last year. She can't remember the name of the paper line she used and is offering a RAK to the first person that identifies it.
Next up is our first time invitation to visit with Kristine as she invites us to "A Quick Share as I Prepare a Donation Basket". It's a neat idea!
Unfortunately there are still no invitatons to visit in Quebec. I know there are lots of scrappers in Quebec and I sure would love to have them join the carnival. Hopefully someday. :)
Our next stop is to visit with Noella in New Brunswick as she says thanks for visiting last time and shares Card Sketch #3 - AND CONTEST!!. Use her sketch and rules to design a card and post it before the June 27th deadline and you could win a prize.
No invitations to visit in Nova Scotia this time and still no invitations to visit in Prince Edward Island yet. Hopefully we'll have invitations from both places next time around.
Our last stop is with Deanne in Newfoundland as she shares her June 15th Sketches and DT creations. If you participate you will be eligible to win a RAK at the end of June.
And that's the end of this week's trip across our country as we visited with scrappers along the way. Thank you to each of you for the invitations to visit. I hope you will invite us again. Thanks also to each of you that came along for the trip. Make sure you take a moment to let our hosts know that you appreciated the invitation to visit with them by leaving a comment on their blogs.

8th Edition
Welcome to the 8th edition of the Canadian Scrapbookers Blog Carnival!
We'll start this trip in Newfoundland where we will visit with Deanne as she shows us how she used distressing ink and bubble wrap to make Bubbles!!!.
Next we're off to Nova Scotia where we will visit with two newcomers to the carnival!
First we'll stop in and visit Ali as she shares some tips for Designing with Buttons and shows us a number of her layouts and projects using buttons. Be sure to leave a comment for a chance to win a RAK she's offering.
Next we'll drop in on Ret as she shares with us a beautiful 7 layer card in Carte Postale in Whisper White.
No invitations to visit in New Brunswick or Prince Edward Island this time around so we skip over those provinces.
Our next stop is in Ontario where we'll drop in on Jennifer as she reminds us not to forget our dads, even if we can't be with them, This coming weekend... and shares a great layout she made in honor of her dad.
Hopping over to Manitoba we'll visit with Denise while she shows as a neat Daddy & Me layout she created for a challenge that included the requirement to use chipboard, and she went wild with chipboard.
Next up we'll stop and visit with Sheryl in Saskatchewan as she shows us the Coolest technique she learned at Lovebug Scrapbooking. Very cool effect!
Our next two stops are in Alberta where we've been invited for a return visit and we also have a first time invitation to visit a business.
First we'll drop in on Chris as she shows us her Faux Suede Father's Day card and explains how to make to the faux suede. In her email invitation she says "The picture never does this technique justice, you have to FEEL the suede..it is amazingly real!!"
Up next is a visit at Scrapbooker's Club House. Owner Nicole lives in AB while Design Team Coordinator Noella lives in New Brunswick, and PR and Promotions Director Ali in NS, so they are spread out all across the country! Ali exclaims "We are THRILLED you will be able to come this way. WELCOME!" She encourages everyone to check out the Scrappin' Green Blog Feature, where DT and members of the forum share ideas that make a difference to our Earth. "Being involved in a largely paper-based art-form means that we MUST be environmentally conscious and responsible." Ali says "Note the RAK draw taking place the 14th. Folks will receive a ballot for the draw every time they send in a "green" tip!!!! Who has a green tip for us?? C'mon!!!!! ". She also points out the July Guest Design Team Member contest and says "We'd love to see lots of entries! ". Another thing to watch for on their blog is the weekly Technique Tidbit Thursday article about which Ali says "I guarantee it'll be worthwhile reading and learning from." They also have a Sketch Contest which is going on right now. Ali points out that "Winners each receive a prize and are privileged to design a future layout or card sample for the SBCH blog using one of Noella Arsenault's sketches!" Ali encourages everyone to "pop by the Club House where the friendliness and creativity are SECOND to NONE!"
After that excitment we're off to British Columbia for our last two visits.
First we'll stop in for a first time visit with Lois as she tells us that she's been busy Making Mini Albums since she got her Bind-it-All and she gives us a glimpse of some of the albums she's made.
Our last visit is with Melissa as she shows us a layout she created for a challenge for a DT call and in the journaling she shares that she plays the role of a super hero, Mom, Everyday.
And that's the end of this week's trip across our country as we visited with scrappers along the way. I apologize for being so late in the day in getting it posted. It's been a rather crazy day.
Thank you to each of you for the invitations to visit. I hope you will invite us again. Thanks also to each of you that came along for the trip. Make sure you take a moment to let our hosts know that you appreciated the invitation to visit with them by leaving a comment on their blogs.

7th Edition!
Welcome to the 7th Edition of the Canadian Scrapbookers Blog Carnival. I am so excited! We have a very busy trip this week, with first time invitations to visit with six scrappers and two businesses, as well as six return visits. Let's get started!
Our one and only stop in British Columbia this time is to visit with Izzy as she tells us about all the different things around her that she uses for inspiration when working on Finding the Right Colors for her layouts.
Next we're off to Alberta where we have two invitations to visit.
This is our first invitation to visit with Kali as she tells us how she made her own ribbon hanger for $6 in about an hour and she shares with us her Ribbon hanger instructions.
We'll pop in for a visit with Chris before we leave as she says "I have tried a variety of faux techniques in the last little while - faux denim, faux metal, faux linen, faux mother of pearl, and recently faux wood. I just got this great set of stamps from Doodle Factory called Fairy Tale & in this set is a cute little knight in shining armour. I wanted a faux ARMOUR technique but couldn't find one anywhere so I made up my own!!!', then she as she shows us her Knight in Shining Armour!! and tells us how she did it.
Next we head to our one invitation in Saskatchewan this time around. We stop in to visit with Sheryl as she tells us she couldn't sleep so she created a New Card and incorporated some neat techniques, like inking a white sheer ribbon.
Our one and only invitation to visit in Manitoba this time around is with Denise as she shares a layout titled B is for Boy and tells us "It's a pg about my youngest and the one who keeps me on my toes. He never stops until he sleeps & I guess neither do I!"
Ontario is our next destintation and we'll be here a little while as we have five stops to make!
First we'll pop in for a visit with Heidi as she tells us she has Beads Galore!! and shows us two cards she made and enhanced with beads. She also links to a tutorial for a neat technique.
Next we'll drop in on Jennifer as she tells us she is re-stocked on ScribblzArt designs so she's decided to have a Blog CANDY Giveaway!. Here's what she said in her email "One of my favourite products to use on scrapbook pages are Skribblz designs. I love how versitile they are as they can be used on any LO. I sometimes use them straight onto a page, while other times I will mount them on cardstock and cut around them so i can make them 3-D. I love them so much I want to share them with you, so check out my blog and play along to WIN some BLOG CANDY"
This is our first invitation to visit with Linda and she shares a great Double Pocket Card Video Tutorial. These are so easy to make and so neat.
Allison has also invited us for a first visit as she is Introducing... her new business venture. Her's what she said in her email, "The So Sketchy! Subscriber is a monthly booklet filled with never before seen card and scrapbook page sketches, colourful inspiration, tips and tricks to using sketches and a special contest especially for So Sketchy! Subscriber members. This booklet comes straight to your mail box so you don't have anything to print. Simply hole punch it and place it in a 8.5x11 binder for easy reference. Subscriptions are available for Canadian, U.S. and International addresses. You have a choice of a single month edition or a 3 month subscription. Come and check us out!"
This is also our first invitation to visit with Christine as she demonstrates some simple techniques for altering Clear Embellishments. The neat thing about Christine's blog is that it is "An internet video show for the scrapbooking community. See new techniques, altered projects, products and tools...". Be sure to check it out!
Next up we have our first time ever invitations to visit with scrappers in New Brunswick, and we got invited to visit with two, and also to check out one scrapping community!

It's off to Newfoundland for our last two visits, one first time and one repeat.
First we'll visit with Deanne as she shows us her JUNE 1st Sketches, a layout and a card sketch, and shows what her DT did with the sketches.
Our last stop is our first visit with Carla as she shares cards she and her 11yo daughter made during one of their many Mother/Daughter scrapping sessions.
And that's the end of this week's trip across our country as we visited with scrappers along the way. Thank you to each of you for the invitations to visit. I hope you will invite us again. Thanks also to each of you that came along for the trip. Make sure you take a moment to let our hosts know that you appreciated the invitation to visit with them by leaving a comment on their blogs.
Please continue to help spread the word about the carnival. Add a carnival widget or blinkie to your blog. Post about the carnival in your scrapbooking forums and email groups. Tell all your friends. I'd especially like some help in finding some Quebec and Nova Scotia scrappers as we haven't yet been invited to visit with scrappers in either province.
I will be posting the call for the next edition tomorrow so be sure to check back, and get your submissions in as soon as you can so that you don't forget! :)
Our one and only stop in British Columbia this time is to visit with Izzy as she tells us about all the different things around her that she uses for inspiration when working on Finding the Right Colors for her layouts.
Next we're off to Alberta where we have two invitations to visit.
This is our first invitation to visit with Kali as she tells us how she made her own ribbon hanger for $6 in about an hour and she shares with us her Ribbon hanger instructions.
We'll pop in for a visit with Chris before we leave as she says "I have tried a variety of faux techniques in the last little while - faux denim, faux metal, faux linen, faux mother of pearl, and recently faux wood. I just got this great set of stamps from Doodle Factory called Fairy Tale & in this set is a cute little knight in shining armour. I wanted a faux ARMOUR technique but couldn't find one anywhere so I made up my own!!!', then she as she shows us her Knight in Shining Armour!! and tells us how she did it.
Next we head to our one invitation in Saskatchewan this time around. We stop in to visit with Sheryl as she tells us she couldn't sleep so she created a New Card and incorporated some neat techniques, like inking a white sheer ribbon.
Our one and only invitation to visit in Manitoba this time around is with Denise as she shares a layout titled B is for Boy and tells us "It's a pg about my youngest and the one who keeps me on my toes. He never stops until he sleeps & I guess neither do I!"
Ontario is our next destintation and we'll be here a little while as we have five stops to make!

Next we'll drop in on Jennifer as she tells us she is re-stocked on ScribblzArt designs so she's decided to have a Blog CANDY Giveaway!. Here's what she said in her email "One of my favourite products to use on scrapbook pages are Skribblz designs. I love how versitile they are as they can be used on any LO. I sometimes use them straight onto a page, while other times I will mount them on cardstock and cut around them so i can make them 3-D. I love them so much I want to share them with you, so check out my blog and play along to WIN some BLOG CANDY"
This is our first invitation to visit with Linda and she shares a great Double Pocket Card Video Tutorial. These are so easy to make and so neat.

This is also our first invitation to visit with Christine as she demonstrates some simple techniques for altering Clear Embellishments.
