In This Issue ... Summer 2009

Regardless of where you live, the weather this year has been as unpredictable and unsettling as the economy. Being an optimistic person (while keeping an eye on my pennies), I think that bright skies and sunny days are ahead of us, and I plan to enjoy working in my garden as much as my back and knees will allow. I also plan to be kind to my budget and take some vacation days for both designing in my studio and traveling to places close to home.

With this in mind, this issue of Paper Creations serves up some wonderfully fun ideas for everyone that won’t break your piggy bank, and in some cases, require nothing more than leftover scraps that won’t cost you anything except a small amount of time. See what you can create from an empty Nesquik container and how to make your own stunning jewelry pieces.

For those of you who take your camera everywhere, we have some great photo card ideas for you to consider while on vacation or in your own backyard. If you’re getting married or have a summer calendar filled with wedding dates, our “Seaside Wedding Collection” will take care of all your card needs. “It’s All Happening at the Zoo” and “Colorful Thoughts” are designed for giving and attending all those summer birthday events with flair and style. And for all of you nature lovers, our “Toad-ily Green” section takes a humorous look at the lovable, and in this case, huggable toad!
