It's the final day of our 9th birthday celebration and what a celebration it has been!!! Thank you for all your sweet comments over the past 9 days. We love knowing how much you love SCT and all the inspiration we provide. Knowing you're happy, makes this entire team HAPPY! And isn't that what a celebration is all about? Of course what makes a great birthday party is fun inspiration and a great loot bag. These past 9 days our sponsors have outdone themselves! When we sent a note out letting them know we were celebrating they wanted to celebrate right along with us too! Their sweet comments have also brought smiles to our faces. We could not do what we do without them and we are grateful for their continued support for all that we do. So, on that grateful note, let's get this final day of celebration going!
Design team member Lisa Dickinson joins us with an amazing tag that shows off her fun style of colour and pattern. In true Lisa style, this tag is all things happy!
Our sweet friend and contributing writer Jennifer McGuire also wanted to celebrate and shares this wonderful process video too where she creates a beautiful birthday card using Ranger Distress Ink, some Lawn Fawn dies and her Sizzix!
To see more of Jen's inspiring videos, be sure to follow her on YouTube HERE and be ready to stay awhile as the creativity is never ending!
