We are now accepting submissions for hand-crafted items that are not necessarily made with scrapbooking supplies for our December/January 2011 issue. This includes general craft and sewing projects:
[blockquote]
- [highlight=#NaNNaNNaN]Gifts - One-of-a-kind creations that you've crafted for the ones you love.[/highlight]
- [highlight=#NaNNaNNaN]Birthday Calendars - Keeping track of birthdays can be a big job, and transferring them from calendar to calendar isn't the most fun way to spend your holiday break time. So make a perpetual calendar to keep track of each month's birthdays from year to year. We can't wait to see what you come up with![/highlight]
- [highlight=#NaNNaNNaN]Organizers - Getting organized is one of the best ways to feel at peace - not to mention stay on top of all your many tasks. So get organized in style! Show us how you've customized and/or embellished your planners, magazine containers, in & out boxes, recipe card boxes, pen holders, project notebooks, etc.
[/highlight]
- [highlight=#NaNNaNNaN]By the Numbers - Numbers can make such a cool visual statement. Make them big and bold, the focal element of your project. Or repeat them subtly in the background. Die cut, stencil, stamp, write, appliqué, stitch, or paint them. Just keep numbers a key part of your project.[/highlight]
- [highlight=#NaNNaNNaN]Handmade Ornaments - Here are just a few of the materials we'd love to see you use on some awesome, original handmade ornaments: felt, fabric, clay, paper, beads, glitter, chipboard, string, googly eyes...[/highlight]
- [highlight=#NaNNaNNaN]Pillows - Think throw pillows with cool designs that you've stamped, painted, created from felt, embroidered, patch-worked, appliquéd, etc. Or just a really neat standard pillowcase that you made.
[/highlight]
- [highlight=#NaNNaNNaN]Die Cuts - Anything you've made using a die cut machine - shapes, letters, etc. - bonus points for cutting materials other than paper.[/highlight]
- [highlight=#NaNNaNNaN]For the Kitchen - Anything for the kitchen - dishtowels, recipe boxes or clips, refrigerator magnets, cozies, etc.
[/highlight]
- [highlight=#NaNNaNNaN]The Boutique - Have you made something absolutely adorable...but it doesn't fit our current call? Send it anyway, we're always happy to see all kinds of fabulous creations![/highlight]
Deadline: 11:59pm (Mountain Time) on Monday July 5th, 2010
