After a sizzling hot summer here in North America,
we are finally welcoming the cooler temperatures
and shorter days that autumn brings. Fall is one of
my favourite seasons and marks the time of year
when I bring out the crockpot and heavy sweaters!
As life slows down a bit, we invite you to settle in
and enjoy this fall issue, brimming with creative
ideas, savvy techniques and seasonal imagination.
As you read, we hope you like the fresh, new
redesign of the magazine, as well as the extra
eight pages of inspiration that we’ve added!
I am so impressed with Vicki Boutin’s creations,
made from a simple circle punch! Check out her
ideas on page 30. Do you have memorabilia tucked
away in a shoebox? Turn to page 39 for some great
ideas on how to include them on your layouts.
Marla Kress and Sheri Reguly were so inspired by
two layouts from our Summer Reader’s Gallery
that they scraplifted them. See the results on
page 45! And finally, our expanded Reader’s
Gallery (four extra pages!) is overflowing with
scrapbooking goodness. The inspiration starts on
page 55.
From all of us here at Scrapbook & Cards Today,
we wish you and yours a happy, new season!

I always have trouble tying a pretty bow with
twine and other soft fibers, so waxed linen is
definitely my go-to trim. It’s thin and soft, yet just
stiff enough to create perfect bow loops!
