We are now accepting submissions for hand-crafted items that are not necessarily made with scrapbooking supplies for our August/September 2010 issue. This includes general craft and sewing projects:

  • Summer Break Mini Albums - Whether you went on a trip or just chilled out at home, make a little book about the good times.
  • On Vacation - Share your best altered books / frames / shadowboxes for showing off vacation photos / memories / memorabilia.
  • Altered Clothing - Anything from decorated Onesies to screen printed or stamped t-shirts to items you've made by recycling clothes (reclaimed sweaters, sock animals, etc.)
  • Food & Friends - How do you (simply & realistically) dress things up for get-togethers with friends and family? We want to see table decor, invitations, altered canisters, etc.
  • Fun with Florals - Whether they're stamped, printed on a transparency or paper, or part of your favorite fabric print, show us what you've made using floral designs.
  • On the Wall - Painted canvases, DIY frames, quilted wall art, shadowboxes, embroidered designs - anything and everything cool that you might hang on your wall. (Don't forget: original designs only!)
  • Punches - We're looking for cute projects that use that standby, the punch. Old or new, shapes or borders...we'll even count decorative scissors. And don't forget about what you can do with plain hole punches.
  • Halloween Fun/Decor - Devilish decorations, spooky sweet containers, frightening party favors - we want to see all the goulish and ghostly things you craft by hand during the scariest time of the year.
  • The Boutique - Have you made something absolutely adorable...but it doesn't fit our current calls? Send it anyway, we're always happy to see all kinds of fabulous creations!
