Last week our friends from Taylored Expressions were here and we gave away a selection of their brand new inks!
The winner of this fabulous prize package is…
What lovely colours in the ink pads. Chocolate truffle, saltwater taffy, oreo, and cherry pop. They are making my mouth water. I use black ink pads the most often, but I am pretty sure I own every shade of blue ink pads on the market with the exception of these two. Blue is my favourite colour for sure. Thanks for the opportunity to add to my stash, and for the inspiration of the card. Posted by: Dianne Lemay | June 14, 2016 at 08:12 PM
Congratulations Dianne! Please send your address and telephone number to me directly at catherine@scrapbookandcards.com with "TE winner" in your reference line. We'll be sure to send that off to Taylored Expressions so they can get the prize on it's way to you!
Thank you all for joining us today. It's always on release day that I like to publicly thank our incredible team who works so hard on each and every issue. They are a group of extraordinary women. And yes, sometimes I pinch myself that I actually have the opportunity to work with them. Their talents are extraordinary. We truly hope you enjoy our latest issue and all the other things we have to offer at SCT! Do you want a little hint at what we were working on this past week? Our second online class in partnership with PageMaps AND our 2017 Creative Planner…that's growing again! Let's just say the rest of the year is going to be as fun-filled as the first part of the year was. And we're thrilled you've come along for the ride with us!
Have a wonderful weekend celebrating all the amazing men in your life this Father's Day! I'm headed off to New York for a few days next week with almost NO agenda. WHAT??? While that's a little foreign to me, I'm looking forward to discovering new places and meeting new faces. Follow me on Instagram @catherinesct to see what I discover along the way!

I’m in Western Oregon & would love to win a copy of your newest magazine–thanks for the chance! I honestly don’t know how I discovered you–through something on line & I think it’s now been about 2 years. Congrats on your 10 yr anniversary!
I discovered your magazine many years ago but don’t remember when and I have been your follower forever. As of today it was time to renewed your magazine. I enjoy reading it because, there are a lot of inspirations and ideas in it. Thanks SCT for your 10 years of inspiring us.
Also, I miss you coming to Winnipeg for Crop and Create.
Look like a fun issue. I love summer layouts!
I’m a longtime reader and I usually read it online, but I got the last issue in my hands and I love it more. Nothing like a glossy magazine in hand,
A long time reader of your magazine, here in Morin-Height, Quebec, Canada. I discovered your magazine actually one day on my lunch break when I was working at the Atwater market in Montreal, almost 13??? years ago. I browsed the news stand, found a scrapbooking magazine (yours!) and have been hooked ever since.
It’s been a long time since I first discovered Scrapbook and Cards. I’ve gotten a lot of great ideas for my greeting cards – adapting techniques and projects so they work on the cards.
thanks
I chanced upon the website like 4 or 5 years back. I have always constantly viewed the magazine online but would love to hold a physical copy in my hand.
I love the SCT magazines and enjoy reading and utilizing the ideas, when I am able to purchase one. I have not purchased any in a couple of years as something always comes up and I cannot buy it. I would need to buy by subscription as I do not know of any stores near here that sell it. I cannot drive right now. So winning copy of your wonderful magazine would be aweome. Did I tell you that I love the inspiration every one of those pages give to me.
By the way I’m from Stoney Creek, Ontario :)
I discovered your magazine a few years ago when I received a surprise with my online order…your magazine! I was lucky enough to attend your crop a few years ago with my daughter when you were in vanvouver…was awesome and subscribed for a year..loved it!!! Awesome job with the magazine…cheers from whitehorse, yukon!!!!
Met you at Scrap Expo in San Francisco area. Thanks for the opportunity to win
I have been such a long time reader of the blog, and hence also the magazine, that I honestly don’t remember when I first heard about it. I’m from Medicine Hat,Alberta.

I’m from Oregon and am a long time reader of your blog and your magazine (the online version). You never disappoint with the multitude of ideas and inspiration everywhere. I would love to have a hard copy in my hands to drool over and mark up for future projects. I hope I’m one of the lucky winners!
It’s been a long time since I’ve had an actual physical copy of your magazine in my hands. Would love to win and spend some time reading through it! I’ve enjoyed your magazine for about 9 or 10 years now! Thanks for all the inspiration!
I discovered the magazine and blog about a year ago. Thank you for offering the free downloads! Would love to have a paper copy – the closest Barnes and Noble store is in Portland an hour away. I live in beautiful Oregon.
I found your magazine online a few years ago. I wish I could purchase a hard copy here in Sunny Queensland Australia. :) Thanks for the opportunity to win a hard copy.
I started reading your magazine 3-4 years ago. I love that I can download it to my tablet and read it where ever I happen to be!I am so excited that I can now purchase a physical copy, if I choose to, at my local Barnes and Noble.

I found out about this magazine in The Scrap Gals Facebook group today! :-)
I would love to win a copy of this issue! Congratulations on 10 years!
I’ve been following your magazine right from the beginning. I have some hard copies and some digital. I have cut out favourite layouts and cards from other magazines to reduce bulk and save space on my shelves but I cannot bear to cut into any of my hard copies of your magazine. Too many awesome suggestions so the magazines stay complete.
I’m a long time reader and live in Kentucky
I really can’t remember when or how I discovered your magazine but I’m so glad there is a digital version for us Australians!
Congrats to Dianne! It was just about a year ago, that I discovered SCT. I’ve only been crafting for about 2 years so I’m still learning a lot, and SCT has been a very important source of info and inspiration to me. The things that I’ve learned from the magazine, the blog and the incredible creative team has helped me to evolve and grow as a crafter. I’m very grateful to have found this gem of a crafting resource! Thanks SCT for all you do to inspire crafters all around the world! (I’m from Ontario, Canada)
Congrats to Diane for winning the inks. Enjoy all those yummy colors. And I love how you celebrate your 10 years. Those 10 are lucky people who are going to love getting a hard copy. Love mine.
Awesome new issue and am so looking forward to looking though the whole magazine.
I can’t wait to look through this beautiful issue, looks like another great one! I’m a long time reader now, just can’t get enough inspiration from you all!!
