Good morning and happy Friday, SCT friends!
This is one of the four Fridays of the year I love the most and I’m so glad you’re here! It’s our Fall issue release day! It’s issue #59 and if you think this ever gets old, I can assure you it’s a thrill every time. We started this issue six months ago and it’s always incredible the moment it lands in my hands from the printer. If you had told me in 2005 when Scrapbook & Cards Today start as a company that we would be here today, I’m not sure I would have believed it. But with an incredible team both past and present, wonderful partners who support all that we do, and readers like YOU, I know exactly why we’re here with issue #59. Introducing our gorgeous fall issue…

Congratulations Michele! Please send your full mailing address and telephone number to us at ideas@scrapbookandcards.com! Thank you again to Close To My Heart for this great prize.
Wishing you all a wonderful weekend! Join us Monday when we’ll be sharing our new Autumn Afternoon kit and the gorgeous artwork our team created with it.
Cannot wait for fall issue in these trying times receiving this each quarter helps to keep me going!
I love the inspiration from DT members and reader submissions.
Love holding and reading through this magazine. There’s always so much inspiration!
OMG. This issue looks simply amazing. I would love to share this with my daughter. She is following my mommy’s footsteps into to this fun paper crafting world!
Love to see all of the wonderful inspiration the the magazine.
The whole magazine has the greatest inspiration. Some of the page layouts gave me some ideas for cards. Thank you for such an awesome tool.
I am so excited to get my issue, based on these sneak peeks that you shared. I am so grateful that there is still a scrapbooking resource in print to enjoy. There is just something about holding it in my hands and flipping the pages…
I also want to let you know how excited I am to be able to attend Crop and Create this year. I live in the US in North Carolina, and attending the in-person event would have been impossible due to the distance, time of year, and the locations. Having a virtual event opens a door to an opportunity that I didn’t expect to have. I am looking forward to that special weekend.
Thank you for your kindness and for this amazing community.
Take care, and happy creating,
Anne-Liesse

I love the Designer Challenge – seeing different ways to use the same product always blows my mind! Thanks for putting such a great resource out there for us Catherine & team!
I liked the article about creating your own fall leaves. It looks like a great way to use up those scraps you just keep hanging onto …. (I am guilty of that). I know you are not supposed to pick an ad but seeing the button press from We are Memory Keepers REALLY makes me want one. I have a brain full of button ideas!
I enjoy all parts of your magazine! I always like the sketch and seeing what others did with it. Thanks for the chance to win.
I love the magazine because it is so bright and cheery and just makes my day when I receive it in my mail box. I love the essentials and page maps and all the beautiful layouts in it.
It’s very hard to pick a favorite part of the magazine. I love Fall and all of the Fall inspiration. I must say my most favorite thing is being able to hold it in my hands and looking through it at my own pace, and then looking through it again. Love the size, quality, and artwork of the entire magazine!💕
The Top 10 Must Have Products is always a favourite! Thanks for a chance to win a copy of your terrific magazine!
I’m a card maker so of course my favorites include all of the cards, I also love the latest and greatest products info and the page maps. Cathy Zielske always has great info, I’m a huge fan of her sense of humor. I look forward to savoring this latest issue.
I love the issue. I briefly looked earlier. If I had to pick a favorite, it would be using the sketches to create the cards. I enjoyed how the sketch artist called it a starting point.
I always download the issues but I absolutely LOVE to hold a real paper issue in my hands and savor every picture. I get so tired of doing everything on the computer all the time. I love everything about the issues because there are so few magazines available. I used to subscribe to about 8 craft, painting, and stamping magazines which do not exist anymore.
Such wonderful inspiration! I love the feel of a magazine. I am check out the sketches which help me get going!
I love reading your magazine. So many great ideas are featured.

I like the ideas also for cards and the fall leave making! Thank you and my friend Kim would love this Fall release too! Tks!
Love your magazines!!
So exciting! Love holding a magazine and not just reading the content online. Magazines are few these days!
My favorite part is looking at 2-page layouts with a decent number of photos, because that’s what I scrapbook, and I love the ideas. Thanks for the opportunity to win.
Besides the content, my favourite part of the magazine is the smell of the hot-off-the-press paper. I just love the high quality paper!

My favorite part is the page maps section . I love using page maps to create beautiful layouts with my own twist!
There’s so much to love, but in this issue I especially enjoyed the Pocket Play, the sketches, and the little blurb on Amy Tangerine’s new Late Afternoon line. Cause a little enabling is always welcome.

Believe it or not, I love the ads and articles!!! The ads always show me the newest products coming out and the articles get me into a creative mood! I love having a hard copy to haul around with me in the car or browse on the sofa!!

I love all of the inspiration the magazine brings!
This issue looks great, can’t wait to read it and come away with lots of inspiration!
Product Play is my favorite part of the magazines. I like reading your impressions on products which gives me an idea on whether I should try the product myself. I also like looking through the scrapbook layouts. It inspires me to start creating scrapbook layouts.
I enjoy looking at all the layouts and projects for Fall. I like seeing the new products that are available and your technique articles.
My favorite part of the SCT magazine is the various examples on layouts and inspiration provided on each page. Look forward to each issue!
Love seeing how different people interpret the different themes!
The scrapbook layouts are the best. So many local shops have closed so inspiration from this magazine & blog are so necessary.
Hi! I have not received my paper copy yet, and I tend not to download the free copy as I need to feel the paper (the quality of paper is amazing!) smell the paper, and view the magazine over and over again. I love your magazine and one of my favorite’s is the top 10 must have products. That being said I do enjoy the entire magazine. I really do look forward of getting my copy and eagerly check my mailbox daily. So much inspiration in each issue. Thank you for continuing to create paper copies.
I loved the Tips, Tricks and Techniques section! I might just have to try some of these leaves! Thank you for the giveaway.
I have not had the opportunity to ever look at a magazine but from the cover and the snapshots I am already inspired and would love to be able to see more of the magazine as I’m sure I would find all kinds of inspiration!
I always enjoy the pocket pages and page maps layouts sections. I’m going to browse through the magazine with my cup of coffee again this morning. Love the inspirations in your magazine!
I love looking through for layout inspiration.
It’s been quite the fall already as we begin homeschooling for the first time, and so I’ve found my energy and inspiration flagging. I know that looking at this magazine will be a wonderful way to light a spark and excitement for me!
