Just in case you need an excuse to party…
On sale today, the July/August issue of Paper Crafts magazine is hot off the press and waiting for you!
I don’t know how the rest of you feel about summer, but I’m a bit more energized and excited about this season. Perhaps it’s the long sunny days, cold drinks and flip-flops that make me so happy, but I also think summertime gets a bit sweeter with a bright new issue full of paper crafting inspiration.
Don’t you agree?
I know I'm biased, but isn't this a gorgeous cover?
It seems appropriate during this sunshiny time of year to spread even more warmth by making a card for someone you care about. We dedicated a whole section of this issue to our Creativity Heals feature. This is the opener I designed for this section:
This feature offers pages of inspiration to help uplift and cheer up anyone’s day. There is healing in not only receiving a handmade card but also in making one. So think of others or think of yourself and start exploring your creative power. Check out the Creativity Heals section of our blog for more information on how to share the power of healing.
I find this quote about the healing powers of creativity particularly touching: “At the deepest level, the creative process and the healing process arise from a single source. When you are an artist, you are a healer.” ~Rachel Naomi Remen, M.D.
Keep smilin’,

I just voted… wow – amaing entries… love all 15.
Thanks for the “Creativity Heals”. It is very true how it does help when you are feeling low. My Mom just passed away a month ago & was big into making cards & this issue just came to her house. When she passed it was very difficult to get back into making cards or putting layouts together, but I have found that it helps me connect with her still in knowing that she wouldn’t want me to give it up because she is gone. So thank you for letting others know that a card is a great way to uplift someone else & that doing a card yourself can help.
