We love Fridays. Who doesn't love Fridays. But Friday's before we go to print are always fun around the SCT office. That means it's been a busy week putting the final touches on the issue and then, on the Friday, we get to reveal the cover. And with all the snow around the office right now, we are loving the fresh breath of spring in this cover! Have a peek...
This issue is full, yes FULL, of creative inspiration for the beautiful spring season. Each of our designers and contributors have given their very best and our new Editor-in-Chief Megan Hoeppner and our new Art Director, Cathy Zielske have brought it all together for one outstanding issue! It will be delivered to homes, in stores and online for free viewing on March 20th! If you would like to subscribe to receive this beautiful issue in your hands, now would be a perfect time! You can do that HERE. We ship all around the world!
Friday's as you know are also the day we get to feature one of our sweet partners and today's company, Taylored Expressions, is one of the sweetest around! Good people. Yesterday in our Card Cafe Thursday post, we shared some beautiful cards from their design team. Today you have the opportunity to win a fabulous prize package of those dies, stamps and papers!
Today's winner will receive a beautiful prize package that includes:
- For Peep's Sake 6x6 Patterned Paper Pack
- Somebunny Loves You Stamps

If Cats Could Talk with Coordinating Die is such a cute new set. Since I have a cat this set immediately caught my eye. I can think of so many things I can do with it. I have just discovered Taylored Expressions stamps and dies and absolutely love them!

Posted by: Lisa LaRocque | March 06, 2015 at 12:23 PM
my favorite is If Dogs Could Talk! So fun!
Posted by: Debbie Lou | March 06, 2015 at 12:32 PM
I just Love Taylored Expressions Stamps and Dies! I especially like their New Release: Carried Away is so charming, romantic, and it so tugs at my heart strings. If Dogs Could Talk, and If Cats Could Talk, really makes me giggle and I am really left wondering what our Cats and Dogs do really think of their Pet Humans? Spring will be here soon, we have all had such a very snowy and cold Winter, and I am also looking forward to reading the latest SCT Issue. My forced Paper Whites have easily bloomed and they smile at me from their stone water vase. Next week I plan on attending the Boston Flower Show and enjoying the sights and smells of all the Spring Gardens. Hang in their Ladies! Our Snowbanks will melt, since a gradual warm up is coming!!
