I am sorry I haven’t been blogging and sharing the crafting love.  I have the usual excuses.  I’ve been busy, busy and, oh ya, busy.  For many reasons really.  Most of them good.

One thing I do have to share with you all is my new job.  I’m the new Creative Editor at Scrapbook & Cards Today which is a available at select stores in North America, by subscription or online (for free).  I am really looking forward to getting my hands dirty and jumping right into the day-to-day of the mag.  It is a pretty fun challenge for me, one that I hope will help me grow as a writer and a person.

So what are you waiting for?  Go and download the  latest issue, take a look and tell me what you think.  I am taking over fully for the Spring ‘10 issue but that doesn’t mean I don’t want your two cents now!

Yesterday my copies of the last issue of Memory Makers arrived.Even thought I have been prepared for it for awhile it still made me sad.  I have read and been part of Memory Makers for a long time.  The last issue seems so final.

So it is with a sad good-bye that I end this chapter.  I will savor this last issue for awhile.

Here are my pages from this month’s column.

And here is this month’s color palette (great for fall layouts).

If you make something with this palette make sure to show me.  I love to see what you make.

(In addition to my Color Swatch column I also have a DIY wedding quiz in the issue – be sure to check it out.)

It is sad to be moving my blog from Memory Makers but with the magazine closing it is a must.  I have enjoyed my time working with everyone at MM and I am sad to see it go. 

BUT this does not mean an end to scrapbooking for me!  I am setting up here at my new home on the Internet and I cannot wait until you all join me.  I will continue to blog all my scrappy endeavours, sharing with you how I do things, as always.

I hope you are willing to make the transition with me.  :)
