First, we want to thank you for all your wonderful comments and best wishes for another 7 years! If you don't think we read those, let me assure you we do. And we love them. To know that we have inspired readers around the world is a great feeling and we have so much planned over the next year! I would love to share a card we received at the office this week from Joan Demers who has been a long time SCT reader...
Thank you Joan! What a sweet surprise and it reminds us how lovely it is to open a surprise card!
Today we have a great card from new design team member Christa Paustenbaugh that Christa designed for her daughter's 7th birthday! How perfect!
"When I know I'm going to use the "negative" of a Silhouette cut I make sure to center the image on the Silhouette screen to provide plenty of space around the image for my card, especially if I'm going to embellish the negative space as well. I use a contrasting color to back the image and a lot of time will use foam adhesive for additional dimension. Happyrista Birthday SCT" ~ Christa
Christa also created a fun birthday calendar too!
Love this idea, the variety of product used and how fun for a young girl to countdown to her birthday! Thanks Christa!
If you were with us yesterday I just *might* have mentioned that we have great goody bag to giveaway to one lucky SCT reader! Look what's in today goody bag...
We think we heard some squeals from the crowd!!! Don't you love this stunning Fiction collection from BasicGrey? Out of the ballpark friends! It has quickly become one of our favourite's this spring season and we could not be more delighted to have it in today's goody bag! Want to know what else we have in our goody bag...

Oh boy oh boy what a gorgeous set here. I absolutely love the clors on this one, just stunning, but that´s just how Basic Grey are, right?
And what a gorgeous card to recieve too, I can only agree to that, and sooo sweet of her to send it to you. And Christas work is just amazing too. I love the idea about that calendar to count down for your birthday. I´m sure many would love to get one like that too as a gift.

I really enjoy Basic Grey's paper, and emblishments. I have some that I've hoarded. One of the patters that I have is great for men's cards.
