Paper Crafts and Scrapbooking Magazine Special Thanks Blog Hop



   Today I am here with several different emotions running through my head, and heart. You should have arrived here from my friend, and  the creator of this hop: Taheera Atchia.  As you may of well heard by now, Paper Crafts and Scrapbooking magazine is ceasing publication. Like many of you this magazine is responsible for so many of the high points of my crafting career. As a beginning card maker I thumbed through my first issues reading the names of designers, many of which have now become my friends, pulling inspiration from the issues as I tried to find my own design style. And now 11 years later we are saying good-bye.

I have a short video to share:



Don't judge. Haha

Here is the card I created especially for today's hop!
 
 
FromTheHeart
 
To create this card I used my much beloved Papertrey Ink stamp set "The Sweet Life". I embossed Stampers Select White card stock using the PTI Aida Cloth impression plate. To tone down the bold patterned paper I added a piece of vellum that I adhered underneath the circle to "hide" the adhesive marks. The stitched "thanks" is also from PTI.

Well, there are SO MANY amazingly talented papercrafters to visit so please don't let me keep you. Your next stop on the hop is a sweet friend and amazingly talented paper crafter Laura O'Donnel.

Thank you for stopping by, and again....Thank You! XOX
 
 
All these people want to thank you, Paper Crafts & Scrapbooking Magazine!
