Hello and welcome to the Paper Crafts & Scrapbooking Magazine Special Thanks Blog Hop! As wonderful as hops are I’m a little sad writing this hop post…we are saying farewell to an amazing magazine who has inspired me and so many others over the years.

I still have the first issue (and all the others) I purchased from the newsstand and it’s always a pleasure to flip through all the inspiration filled pages of each and every issue. As a manufacture, I appreciated all the times I found a card or project in print using YNS products…it’s always an awesome feeling seeing YNS stamp and dies in print publications! As a personal crafter I found so much inspiration and beauty in each and every issue. If only I had dedicated more time to submit some projects as I would have loved to see my work on the pages of PC&S. Congrats to everyone who had the honor of having their projects picked and printed for everyone to enjoy!

Now, I did say this was a HOP so if you came across my blog and haven’t already been hopping along you really should head over to Jennifer McGuire’s Blog as she is the first stop on the hop! There are some fabulous projects and PC&S stories…you won’t want to miss a thing!

If you’ve already been hopping along you should have arrived here via Cindy Lawrence’s Blog.

I used snow as inspiration for my hop card and created a winter themed THANK YOU card for the PC&S team…

Supplies used to create my card:

YNS Waddles – Snow Fun stamp and die set, YNS Scripty Words Die (thanks), YNS Winter Fun Tag Die (Snowflake), Snow Fall (coming Dec 7th), YNS Glittered Gumdrops, YNS Circles Die, YNS Piercing Holes Die, YNS Hills Die, Copic Markers, Doodlebug Frosty Friends 6×6 paper pad

Thank you for all your hard work over the years and for bringing smiles and inspiration to myself and so many others! I wish you all the best!

Now it’s time to head over to Sandy Allnock’s Blog. Thank you so much for stopping by!

Stampy hugs,

Karen
