Happy 50th Issue! Yay!! Awesome giveaways! I have stumbled upon SCT when I was looking for kits that are shipped from Canada. Which is a major plus for me because I am in Canada. That was about a year ago and I have been hooked since! Love what you all do. Love the inspiration. Thank you!
Congratulations on such a huge milestone! I have 47 of those 50 issues, so if you happen to have an extra copy of issue 1, 2, or 8 hanging around, I’d love to complete the set LOL. ????
I cannot remember exactly when I heard about SCT but I am grateful to have found you! Thank you for the amazing articles, inspiration, information and more! You serve a great need!! Congratulations!
When and where I discovered SCT! Hmmm! That is a tough one. I believe I found you online and signed up shortly after for the magazine…..I am pretty sure it has been a long time. I do t remember how long though. I love the magazine and evertything SCT. Happy 50th issue.
I discovered you at my local scrapbooking store here in Victoria. At that time if you spent a certain amount of money in the store you got the magazine. So a win win more product and Scrapbook & Cards. I always look forward to the new magazine coming out and all the creativity going on plus all the other goodies such as kits. Such a milestone 50 issues. Congratulations and Happy 50th Anniversary.
Congratulations on #50. I found you at a local scrapbook store in Ocala, Florida….many years ago and have followed you since then.
Happy 50th issue! I’m not really sure when and where I discovered SCT. Probably the first time I stepped into my local scrapbooking store. Thanks for all the great creativity you’ve shared throughout the years!
I heard about you through Scrapbook.com. I look forward to each issue.
Happy 50th Issue! I’m not sure where/when I discovered you, but I have been a fan for years!
A crafty friend of mine had told me about your kits so that’s how I first learned about SCT. I’ve ordered your beautiful kits, enrolled in your classes, and now am enjoying receiving the Sampler every month! Happy 50th issue!
Happy 50th. I got my first issue of your magazine at Marchant’s while taking a class there. Marchant’s closed but I get every issue with my SCT kits. It is a great magazine and I look forward to it when I get my kits
Love SCT. My go to for everything scrapbook related. Also has great ideas & helpful tips. Here’s to 50 more issues.
Congrats SCT on 50 fabulous issues! I discovered you through Cherished Scrapbooks in Mississauga and I’m proud to say I still own the original issue! My how far you’ve come since those early days! Happy to be a subscriber, a C&C alumni, class attendee, and well, just happy to support everything you do. Here’s to another 50 issues! <3
I placed an online order – I think @ Scrapbook.com and received a free magazine. I loved it and there was no
turning back. I have already looked at this new book online and it is full of wonderfulness.
I found you on a web search several years ago and have never looked back! You are one of my top go to sources for inspiration…I love the magazine and I love to hold an actual magazine. I have saved every copy and refer to the often. Thanks for Year’s of fun and inspiration.
I discovered you yeats ago through my old LSS! Always a fabulous source of inspiration, congratulations on 50 issues!!!
Congratulations! I have loved SCT magazine from the first time I saw it at my LSS. I can’t remember the year but it must have been approx. 10 years ago. When I look at how much you have grown over the years, it is wonderful that I have been able to experience it. I can’t part with any of my paper copies of SCT magazine, even though I don’t consult the earliest ones that often. They are all precious jewels to me (probably more valuable to me than my actual jewellery!)
So happy to see Jen Gallacher back with you. I missed her.
Finally how kind are you to have such great giveaways! We’re all winners to have you in our crafting life but some will have an extra reward.
Congratulations on your achievement! I had just started paper crafting less than a year ago and I did a web search for magazines in Canada. Enjoy the inspiration!
I was so very excited to receive my issue in the mail yesterday. I always sit down with it and look through every page a little quickly …. just to get in the spirit LOL! Then, I pour myself a coffee, or glass of wine (depending on the time of day) and sit back and read it cover to cover. Each issue remains on my desk until the next one arrives. I first found SCT at my local LSS, back in 2008. The LSS is no longer but I am ever thankful to have discovered SCT. Happy happy 50th and here’s to fifty more xo
I don’t remember exactly how or when but I discovered then online magazine first. Then I decided to get the print subscription because here in the US there are no more printed magazines like this. I have joined several classes and ordered a couple of kits along the way.
Congratulations on 50 issues!
Thanks for…
I found you a few months ago while browsing for scrapbooking ideas on the internet.
Woohoo Congrats on the big milestone. I honestly can not remember where or when I discovered you. What I do know is I am glad I did! Thank you for all the wonderful inspiration.
Congrats on 50 Issues. I think I discovered SCT from PageMaps, but it could have been from Ali Edwards or Cathy Z. But I love reading SCT online, and wish you many many more issues to come!
How neat is 50 issues!
Congrats on this milestone.
I have been following your
blog for so long, I don’t
remember when I first
started!

I believe I discovered SCT several years ago at a SB Expo or CKU or CKC. I love to have a physical magazine to look at although I have read it online also. Congratulations on your 50th issue! That is awesome.
What a nice pile of giveaways! Thanks for the opportunity to win. I first discovered SCT when people were handing out free copies of the magazine to people waiting in line for Scrapbook Expo (I want to say in Santa Clara CA, but it might have been Sacramento CA.) I remember thinking “Wow, there’s someone that still publishes physical magazines” (Online just isn’t the same.) Keep publishing!
Congratulations! I fairly recently discovered you when I went searching for a real, hold in my hands scrapbooking magazine. I was so excited to find you that I immediately subscribed. I love the sketches, layouts and new products. –Patty from PA
About 10 years ago I went to my local scrapbook store and they gave me a fee issue. I checked out your website and Have been a fan ever since!
Woo! 50 issues!
Gosh! I don’t know exactly when I started following your magazine online. It’s been about 4 years is my guess. I get your digital copies online each month. I love your articles and giveaways. You all are so generous and creative! Thanks and here’s to many more years ahead!!!
Congratulations on such a wonderful milestone. I discovered SCT while cardmaking many years ago. I was following blogs and yours caught my attention with lots of ideas, inspiration and creative projects!
I chanced upon the magazine about 18 mos. ago when I received a complimentary copy with a purchase of supplies. I was immediately hooked and subscribed immediately. I enjoy the blog but love having that physical copy in my hot little hands. I only wish I had found you sooner. Right on schedule my new issue arrived in my mailbox today.Yay! I thank you for the opportunity to win one of the lovely and numerous prizes you are offering.
How excir, 50 issues of SCT!!! I first discovered ACT at Scrapbook Expo several years ago. We received a free issue and I have been hooked ever since! There has been such an amazing group of talented and artistic people behind the scenes of SCT!!!! Its my go to for when I am in need of inspiration!!!
Congrats on this milestone!
I can’t remember exactly when I heard about your magazine…I’m pretty sure it was about year three of your existence. I’m pretty sure it was the blog of one of your contributors – maybe Becky Fleck, since she used to be one of your editors and I loved (and still love) her Pagemaps sketches. Heck – you’ve got lots of awesome contributors though. Whoever it was who first turned me on to SCT, I’m so thankful – one of the best publications and blogs ever!
Congrats on your 50th issue. I think I first heard about SCT at a scrapbook store years ago. Have always loved your magazine.
I found you online when I was searching for scrapbook inspiration. I loved the online magazine and love receiving the magazine in the mail even more! Congratulations on your 50th issue. I’ve got my copy and look forward to being inspired once again!
I’m trying to remember. It may have been at a Crop ‘n Create in Winnipeg 5 years ago, but, I’m thinking it may have been through a scrapbook store before that. grrrrr Memory’s good, but, obviously short! I’m taking my 2nd online course and I love pagemaps. Lovely ideas for pages and I so appreciate your value of journaling and your encouragement of it. :) Happy 50th! It sure looks good on you. :)
Happy 50th SCT! I have been scrapbooking since 2000. I don’t remember the year that I started buying scrapbooking magazines. Along about that time I also picked up on cardmaking. I really liked the SCT magazine because it gave me inspiration on both. It introduced me to new products and tools. So I kind of favoured your magazines over any other. Then I discovered you were online. I love receiving your emails linking me to your blogs etc. And you are so very generous with your giveaways. Your staff is second to none. You rock SCT!!!
Picnics and Popsicles! How awesome is that giveaway!!! 50th Issue!! Whoot whoot!!! Even more exciting! Congrats! and as always thank you for sharing such cool giveaways!
Y’all really know how to celebrate! What a giveaway. I first discovered SCT from my sister who was teaching beginner scrapbook at the time in a local store in Calgary, AB. Over the years I have clipped all the layouts I want to scraplift, PageMaps sketches to create from, and technique articles from SCT and they are all gathered in a junk journal that sits on my scrapbook desk. I refer to it all the time for inspiration! Thanks SCT for 50 issues of awesome!
Congratulations on 50 wonderful issues! I think I found you by accident, following links on the internet about 5 years ago. So much inspiration over that time, with so much more to come! Keep up the great work!
So many great prizes…what a super way to celebrate the big 5-0!
I’m not really sure when or where I first discovered your magazine, but I do know that I have always enjoyed paging through and finding inspiration! Congrats on 50 issues!! So happy there is still an actual scrapbooking magazine available. Thanks for the chance to win such great prizes!
Happy 50th!
I think I first discovered SCT at a local craft store, but most recently found you on-line and have been following you since.
Whoohoo!!! It’s a great year to be celebrating “50”! I was first introduced to your fantastic magazine through a local scrapbook store and have been hooked ever since, thank you Scrapbook and Cards!
Happy 50th issue! I first discovered and became a subscriber at the Kitchener scrapfest in spring 2017….I signed up for the sampler earlier this year and am super thrilled with both!!! Keep up the awesome work and huge congrats on this exciting milestone!!
Wow 50 issues – that is wonderful. First discovered you when I attended a Scrapbooker Paradise crop and create event in Calgary.
Woo-hoo! Happy 50th issue to you!
I am not sure where I first found you. The memory
is the first thing to go in old age so that’s why we need
to document everything! LOL
Congratulations! I am seeing your magazine for the first time. Recommended on Facebook!
