Stampington & Company publications are worthy of keeping in your library for years - their quality is fantastic and such a visual treat too. This review at ScrapFriends was of the Artists’ Paper sometimes included in the Somerset issues and for sale outside of the magazine. The paper is just as wonderful as the magazine [...]

Talk about a fun collection! I love the double-sided kraft paper in this collection and the fact that it is SO earth friendly! All the patterns are wonderful earth tones in color and design, lots of nature. Read the reviews on ScrapFriends for a full low-down. Here is one project using the collection.

Lisa Pavelka’s Clay products

November 1st, 2008 2 Comments

We recently reviewed Lisa Pavelka’s Craft Foil and Embossing Clay Cutters at ScrapFriends. I had a bunch of fun using both products and can’t wait to use them more!
