Happy Friday! I hope you all have had a wonderful day and are looking forward to an even better weekend. As I look out my window, the snow is falling and the cold wind is blowing at the windows. Winter is here!
With the change of seasons comes the release of a new issue of Scrapbook & Cards Today magazine. The Winter 2016 issue was launched this morning. I don’t know about you, but I love to pick up a magazine and feel the crisp new pages between my fingers, and reading this magazine sure makes me happy!
Scrapbook & Cards Today magazine is available in print as well in a digital format. The digital format is available for viewing online or downloading for FREE. You can also view all of the artwork from the issue separated by article pdf, as well as download the individual articles themselves. View the issue online here: http://www.scrapbookandcards.com/winter-2016. All back issues are also available for viewing online.
Here are a few of my favourite projects from this issue:
8 Nights by Stacy Cohen
Bliss by Jennifer Gallacher
2010 by Lisa Dickinson
With each issue, they also provide free sketches, cut files, and printable files. Each issue has a full series of bonus items that will inspire scrapbookers, card makers and paper crafters everywhere! Here are a couple of my favourites from the Winter issue:
You can also find hundreds of free sketches, and other free downloadable cut files and printables on their website.

Twas the night before Christmas, I’m glued to the tree.
I’m wonderin’ what santa, brought just for me;
Could it be cardstock or chipboard or lace?
or a cricut? I said with a smile on my face!
and that’s when I heard him…”HI SANTA,” I said.
”you know good little girls should be in their beds”.
I know I should santa, and now I’ve been caught!
but I was excited, to see what you brought.
well, lets take a look in this room where you work.
he shook his head quickly and left with a jerk!
I heard him exclaim as he put it in gear…
you’ve got enough stuff, I’ll see you next year!
I would love to sit in the warmth of my home in the next two weeks and enjoy this magazine as I look for some inspiration.
