Happy Holidays!

I hope everyone is having a wonderful holiday season!

I apologize for not being around much in the last couple months.  I've been super busy with all the manufacturer events on Scrapbook News and Review.  I had tons of fun doing them (I think I participated in 26 manufacturer events) and made, for the most part, between 5 - 12 projects per event.  I hope you were able to stop by and take in all the amazing work all the SNR staff made. 

We're finally done for this year so it's now back to business as usual.  I'll be turning my focus back to creating regularly for Sketchy Thursdays, submitting regular projects to the SNR magazine and lots of fun new tutorials and articles for SNR as well.  We've got a lot of great stuff planned for you this year in the Education Department of SNR and you won't want to miss a bit of it!!!! 

There's a subscribption sale going on right now - a full year of Scrapbook News and Review for $19.99! 

That's like 24 issues for less than $1 each because we release twice a month!  How amazing is that??!!!!

Plus, in addition to all our regular eye candy, tutorial and article features in scrapbooking, cards, stamping, mixed media and digital, we'll be bringing you a few more months of manufacturer inspiration in the form of articles in the magazine.  Trust me, you don't want to miss it!!! 

Don't miss the sketch I made for Sketchy Thursdays this week:

We're giving our Sketchy Designers a little holiday break so this sketch will run for two weeks, through December 28.  There's an awesome SRM Stickers prize pack up for grabs, too.  Trust me, there are enough stickers of various themes in this pack to get you through a good deal of your 2012 scrapping or card making.   I love SRM Stickers.  I can always find just the perfect sentiment. 

As mentioned, I've been so busy with SNR that I haven't had much time to make other stuff so all my 2011 holiday projects are in the magazine...but here's a cute one from last year:

As seen in the Scrapbook News and Review 2010 Holiday Sampler

The trees were inspired by the Dr. Seuss style.  Plus, of course, gotta get some yummy holiday glitter and sparkle in there!

If I don't "see" you again before then, have a very happy holiday!!!!!
