On Our Cover

Pit Crew

This gorgeous layout by Lisa Swift offered everything we could hope for as our September cover.  Lisa mixed the bright colors of summer with just a hint of fall brown to allow her hues to transition us to the new season.  She capture back to school with a bold joy that just warmed our hearts and had us ready to shop for new backpacks.  Lisa will receive a gift of supplies from our generous sponsors.  We cannot wait to see what Lisa creates next!

You, too, might see your creation on the cover, but you have to submit first! All items submitted to article calls are looked at, and the top eye-catchers are chosen by our Editors and put in a voting poll for our crew to select the cover winner. So get those layouts, cards and projects in everyone! Each month, the cover winner receives a prize package from our sponsors filled with yummy supplies.

Take a second look at our front cover.
