TGIF friends! Can we all say a collective “what a week!!!” Has it been a crazy week for you? Around the SCT office it was an exciting week as the first copies of the summer issue landed in the office on Wednesday! You would think that after 41 previous issues when the new one lands in the office it wouldn’t be such a big deal but let me tell you each one is just as exciting as every issue before that. To see 6-8 months of work wrapped up in a pretty, colourful magazine is thrilling. To see all the hard work our team and host of contributors have put in is even more thrilling. I may just pinch myself a little to have the opportunity to work with all these incredible ladies. If you’re a subscriber, your issue is shipping out starting today!  It’s a beautiful and inspiring issue that we can’t wait to share with you next Friday. Mark your calendars!

If you’re just joining us for the first time, welcome! If you’ve followed us for a long time then you know it’s Friday and we LOVE to give things away on Friday. Yesterday we had our sweet friend Taylor VanBruggen, owner of Taylored Expressions, here for Card Cafe Thursday. Taylor created a beautiful card and shared one of their brand-new products…INK!

Taylored Expression_InkDon’t you just love those names? Wouldn’t you just love to welcome these lovelies into your crafty space? And maybe, just maybe you might share them now and then with a friend. Ok, maybe not :) Well, our friends at Taylored Expressions would love to give away a prize pack that includes a full set of Taylored Expressions Mini InkPads (all 12!) along with the newly-released Fresh Florals stamp set Taylor used on her card here yesterday.
