Happy Thursday SCT friends, it's Catherine your happy Publisher of Scrapbook & Cards Today magazine with you today! It's the final day of one our favourite celebrations, our Partner Appreciation month! Throughout the month of August each year we take time to tip our hats to the amazing industry partners we get the pleasure of working with each day. The truth? Without each of these partners and their collective investment in all that we do, we could not bring our magazine, Scrapbook & Cards Today, to you. We could not host our amazing Crop & Create events, we could not distribute the gorgeous SCT Delivered kits our team puts together each quarter, we could not host our online classes and simply, we would not be reaching our readers and followers in over 120 countries without them. Our mission statement for SCT that we developed at the very beginning was simple, support our retail stores, support our industry partners and support our readers with interesting, relevant content. And you know we can't do that alone. It takes a village. I want to thank each of you for being a part of this month long celebration. If you took a few moments to make a comment on the Facebook pages of our partners, thank you!!! They see that and appreciate the time you took from your busy day to do that. If you don't have Facebook and left a comment below to win one of their beautiful prizes, thank you, they see those too! If you made a note of all the links we shared and visited any of our partners, thank you. While we celebrated our partners we love that they celebrated you too!
So on that note sweet friends, let's get to today's giveaway from our dear friends at Janome! Look at the sweet little gift they have for one lucky reader today...

I've never "stitched" on my paper projects - it's just way too much hassle to drag out my big machine for a quick little project. This would entirely change my paper crafting world. Fingers crossed (toes and eyes too).

Love the cute sewing machine--would love to have a chance to use it to add texture to my cards and scrapbook pages!

This would be so much easier than dragging out my big machine. I'd like to be able to stitch elements for my cards and pages.
