Welcome to the next stop on the Paper Crafts and Scrapbooking Magazine Special Thanks Blog Hop! I'm joining a group of talented paper crafters and paper crafting companies to say a big thank you to the team at Paper Crafts and Scrapbooking as the publication wraps up its fabulous run. You should have arrived here from Jamie Greene's blog.
I was honored to have one of my projects (a non-card one!) selected to be featured on the cover of a special issue. What a thrill it was to walk in to craft stores, book stores, and even my neighborhood Target and see a project of mine on a magazine cover! But, while having my projects appear on the pages of the magazine, whether in print or in digital form, the best thing was the opportunity to be part of a warm and talented community of other like-minded paper crafters. I looked forward to opening up my copy of the magazine (and the special issues, too) and ooh-ing and aah-ing over the amazing creations that were featured. It was just as exciting to see my friends' projects in print as it was to see mine!
Today I'm sharing a cheery floral card I whipped up using stamps from Avery Elle. In a nod to the always on trend Paper Crafts and Scrapbooking magazine, I used a piece of ombre patterned paper as the background behind the floral cluster. The spring-like colors make me think of new beginnings and good times ahead!
Thank you again to all of the editors and staff at Paper Crafts and Scrapbooking Magazine for your dedication, support, encouragement, and inspiration. I wish you all the best in the future! Your next stop on the hop is Susie Wittwer. Enjoy!
