This year
has gone so fast, winter is upon us and it’s a good time to stay inside and
scrap or sit in front of the fireplace planning my next layout or reading a
scrapping mag. July is a
big month for us, as it’s our forums 2nd birthday. We have some
great swaps happening for our 2nd birthday. The theme is Christmas
in July, so we have Christmas card swap, Christmas tag swap and a Secret

Artist Trading
Cards
Here are some of the
cards from our June A.T.C. swap. The theme was
"Yesteryear". These little cards are so quick and easy to make
and are really very creatively satisfying. They measure just 2.5" x
3.5" and are generally based around a theme that each artist can interpret
however they choose. To join in the swap, you need to make a set of
identical cards, one for each member of the swap. All the cards get
posted off to the host who then sorts them and sends them back so that you end
up with a unique little piece of artwork from each member of the swap!

We'd like to extend a warm welcome to Penny, our guest design team member for July. She has completed a gorgeous double layout using a great stitching effect with the ribbon. |

Sine has used the
layout pack to create these two beautiful pages dedicated to her
daughters. Because everything is co-ordinated
she was able to layer the different paper and cardstock to create a wonderfully
interesting backdrop for her photos. |

paint! You'll love what they have come up with.

Toni used her cannister to make this wonderful pencil holder. As
you can see from the photos, it makes a great pen and pencil holder. |

Beccy created a
treasure tin with her canister and products. She used the ribbon and braided
the handle for the tin |
