Scrapbook & Cards Today Fall Issue is Here

Wow! This issue actually marks the 35th issue S&CT has released! Scrapbook & Cards Today is currently viewed in 120 countries and perhaps after Friday, it will be 121! I think that's super impressive. I absolutely love this magazine. Every time it hits the stand I rush through it and then comb back through it again every so slowly at least three or four times. It's just always so yummy!
I'm happy to be nestled among the pages once again too. I hope you'll check it out. Just click on the magazine cover above to choose your viewing option. It's free after all!

Summer Issue On Stands NOW

I've been looking forward to every issue of Scrapbook & Cards Today magazine for a while now, but I wasn't expecting to have a project featured as a design team scraplift challenge in this issue. What a pleasant surprise!

I don't remember the last time I saw a scraplifted project of mine. Some people don't like it when others scraplift them, but I absolutely LOVE it! I even re-post scraplifts when I find them. It's the ultimate compliment to inspire someone else to make their own project, isn't it?

Okay, so head on over to their site and snag a copy or read it online instantly for free!

Scrapbook & Cards Today Spring Issue

The SC&T Spring Issue is finally here! Yeah! It's one of my absolute favorite magazines. It has cards, altered projects, and layouts too. It's always full of sketches and instructions that make it just wonderful all around. This month there are free digital cutting files and a digi stamp to download too. Score! This issue is extra special to my sweet little cousin though. A little something I submitted featuring her managed to get her face on not one, but TWO pages. She's gonna be SO EXCITED when she sees it. I'm sure her friends will whoop it up too.

You Are My Sunshine...

Well, I became an aunt on Saturday! Molly has arrived a tad bit early (just like Ethan), but she's perfectly perfect. I couldn't be happier. Since my little sis loves yellow & green and anything "sunshine" related, I thought this was the perfect card to celebrate Molly's arrival. Happy Birthday, Molly!!!

I Love You Card

Well, hello there! I have been feeling super crafty lately. I've whipped out half a dozen cards and a layout here in the past day or so. I still feel the creative juices flowing, so I hope to get some more quite time in my studio this evening after the little dude has crashed. It's been an uber long day for all of us though. It might end up being an early night, but I'll try my best.

Studio Calico Sneak Peek

I'm looking forward to getting the new Studio Calico card kit. If you're not a subscriber to a monthly card, scrapbook, or Project Life kit, I think you're missing out! It's like Christmas each month. I'm obsessed. As soon as my kit gets here, I'll start making a few projects to share with you.

MFT Sneak Peek...

Yep, I'm still around. Nursing school is sucking the life out of me, but I still have time to craft every so often. MFT was super awesome in sending a few goodies my way to participate in a blog hop on the 26th, and I couldn't resist giving you a little sneaky peeky... 

I've also got a little coupon code for you over in the Lilly Belle's Paperie shop good for 15% off: JULYCLEARANCE

Thank You Card

As promised, here's another new GCD Studios card for you. I made the whole card, but once it was done I realized I forgot to add a sentiment. Eek! So, I took some old rub-ons and turned the patterned paper into sentiment/patterned paper. I think it turned out pretty cute. I love a bright & happy card.

Thanks for stopping by!

Hip Hip Hooray!

Yeppers, I have another card I made a few months ago for you. This one coordinates with the card I just posted for LeeLou Blogs a couple days ago. I told you I really love these colors! :-)

I told you last time that I love printables because you can print them any size you like and also over and over to mass produce projects. I also love that you can adjust color. The original files are bright and fun, but I turned the hue down just a tad bit to more of a pastel tone to go with my papers. I just LOVE LOVE LOVE all the possibilities! Head on over to LeeLou Blogs to check it out, and tell her I sent ya!
