Welcome, October! I hope you had a splendid World Cardmaking Day and were able to create and connect!

Have you seen the fall issue of Scrapbook & Cards Today? It’s always a favorite to create, and we hope you find loads of inspiration as you page through (whether digitally or with a paper version).

Our 3Ts article in this issue was all about being inspired by the world around us. Now, I will admit that I watch a ridiculous amount of home improvement shows. One time I counted that I have 20 such programs scheduled to record. It’s not like I’m handy or doing lots of renovations, but I’m inspired by the creativity I see and the staging at the end of each episode.

As a native Michigander, I love Bargain Block! Keith and Evan are renovating Detroit with much panache. Keith’s style is so me—kind of dark and dramatic!

I also love my feisty, red-headed sister Jennifer Todryk from No Demo Reno. She’s wacky, I tell you, but I sure do love how her mind works.

This card is a result of being inspired by both shows (and countless others). I particularly enjoyed mimicking the wall treatment in these beautiful rooms, and the patterned paper designed by our very own Paige Evans made for some amazing wallpaper!

Meghann Andrew created this layout inspired by her sunroom for our fall issue, so you can see that it’s not just me! It’s delightful to transform a paper crafting project into an inspiration challenge. Don’t miss seven more inspired projects in the fall issue on page 21!

Here’s to being inspired! It’s a fun way to challenge yourself, and I am here for that!
