Sponsor/Small Business Spotlight and Giveaway | Scrap Inspired and Scrapbook and Cards Today Magazine

 

Happy Tuesday Y'all!

Today I have 2 amazing spotlights and giveaways. Please take the time to read each spotlight and visit these sponsors via social media and say hi.

I've said it a million times already, I'll say it a million times more. I love supporting and spotlighting women and small businesses I believe in. And I love that this blog gives me that opportunity. To share things like this.So thanks for reading. :)

Scrap Inspired is where you can find inspiration guru Monica Bradford.
Monica loves finding and sharing all kinds of inspiration. Whether it's scrapbooking, photography, or Project Life ideas you are looking for, she shares it all…with a few silly scrappy music videos tossed in just to make you smile.

Speaking of inspiration, Monica's newest class "Your Summer Inspired" is chock full of scrappy inspiration to help you tell the story of your life. You will discover how the warmth, the fun, the joys of summer can easily inspire your scrapbooking!

In this fun online class you will receive 2 weeks of daily inspirational emails with actionable prompts to get you inspired. Monica, along with two guest designers, will share original layout ideas based on the prompts. There will be scrapbook process videos, a live chat, AND an exclusive bonus interview with Stacy Julian on the topic of inspiration!

Make sure to visit Monica on Facebook and say I sent you!


And one of you can enter to win this class absolutely FREE!

But Monica doesn't want anyone to feel left out, so she is also offering $10 off the purchase price of "Your Summer Inspired"using the coupon code STEPHANIE at checkout. But class begins on July 1st! So go ahead and grab a spot now. If you win the giveaway Monica will refund your money!

Register today and enjoy your most inspiring summer ever.


Okay, y'all. Listen. I'm about to go off on a little bit of a tangent. But I tend to do that about things I'm passionate about.

This industry is struggling a little bit. And every few months a publication I love to read either folds, or goes to digital only. And that makes me sad.

I love magazines. LOVE. I love the feel of them in my hands. I love to flip through them in the bath. I am especially a fan of scrapbooking magazines. And it breaks my heart that there aren't many left.

You know what is left? My favorite. Scrapbook and Cards Today magazine. You are missing out if you don't subscribe to this magazine. It is fabulous. The women behind this publication are fabulous, the content is fabulous, the contributors are fabulous...I could go on and on. Did you know Ali Edwards recently started contributing to SCT? Yep. Fabulous.

Oh...did I mention it's FREE?

You can download/view the latest issue of Scrapbook & Cards Today HERE.

SO...

Subscribe.

Read the blog.

Follow SCT on Facebook.

You won't regret it. I promise. What do you think I've been
reading on this road trip? :)

Scrapbook & Cards Today are thrilled to offer a lucky reader a one year subscription along with a copy of their latest special issue CardMaps Vol 3.

 

If you'd like to win either of these super fun giveaways, leave a comment here (specifying a preference, if you have one) and I'll post the winners with next week's sponsor spotlight.

Good luck!!

I too am amazed at all the craft magazines that are disappearing! I love Scrapbooking magazines and think Scrapbook and Cards Today is one of the most beautiful ones out there.

[Lisa P]

I am so like you. I want the physical, paper copy in hand when I go through a magazine. I just had two that I subscribe to go digital only and I was both sad and frustrated. I am so passionate about the fact that we are losing the love of real books and paper turning that I could go off on a tangent but I won't :) Dang for being old fashioned. I love that SCT has the actual paper copy available. Thanks for sharing.

[Kelly Massman]
