We had a wonderful Fall card swap and here are some of our group’s creations!  So much variety!  Just like Fall leaves!

We held a Halloween card swap and these were some of the cards we made.  It’s definitely a treat to see the talent in this group… and to see the variety of cards we can make.

We’re making Thanksgiving cards now… and Christmas is right around the corner!

Did you know there’s still a scrapbooking magazine that’s in PRINT???  It’s from Canada and has 4 issues per year.  It’s Creative Scrapbooking Magazine. They have a fun website and blog (check out their weekly giveaway contests) and also some inspiration on Instagram that sure will carry over to our everyday scrapbooking.  Each month they publish a list of things to photograph… here’s the list for October

Hope you find some inspiration here!
