Welcome

Next week we celebrate Thanksgiving here in the States. I am so glad for the opportunity to share with family and friends the things I am grateful for.  With family coming into town, I'm spending some time each day getting the house ready, creating table decorations, and trying to scrap some old family holiday photos for us to look at.

If you're looking for a special way to show family and friends that you are thankful for them, check out "Thanksgiving Cards Made Easy," featured in PaperCraftingMagazine.com - where you'll always find great paper crafting project ideas, including holiday cards!

Happy Crafting!

P.S. We'll announce the winner of our Halloween contest next week!


One system. Unlimited possibilities.

Only one crafting system boasts unlimited creative expression, all-around quality, total value and high compatibility with Sizzix. Finally, there's ellison design. (It isn't bragging, after all, if you can do it.)

Fun With Heart Strings
Manufacturer's Spotlight By: Allison Connors of Creative Imaginations

I love embellishments! I love to play with them, alter them, build with them and include them on all kinds of paper crafting projects. That is why, at Creative Imaginations, I design embellishments. When designing my embellishments, I imagine many ways the product can be used. I adore it, when I see other ways someone else uses my product too—it is just fabulous to see how imaginative minds create!

Tear It Up
Basic Techniques By: Chris Ramirez

One of the easiest techniques any scrapper could apply to her pages is the art of paper tearing. In fact, you don’t need any extra supplies – only your fingers and paper! Since there are several different types of paper on the market for scrappers, you will also be able to achieve different effects with the same technique. What more could a scrapper want!
