This is the mag that got me started on my journey to learn CQ. I've just started my learning but love seeing what everyone else is doing. Someday......
Wow. I think it's the best CQ Magazine I've seen so far. They're usually good, but this one is really packed with lots of fun stuff!
I love the CQ-ing scrapbooking / cardmaking article, Allie. I've been making Christmas cards this year, and that's one approach I took. I took a Christmas tree cookie cutter, traced the outline onto graph paper, divided the shape into sections, then cut out the sections to use as templates. I took various scrapbooking papers in greens overall (but printed with different designs) and cut out the pieces in the template shapes. Then I put these back together to form the tree, gluing them onto background card stock. Then I pierced holes for embroidering seams, and managed one seam, and saw that it would work out as a good card-making idea!
And then, unfortunately, I left the card out on the table, where my parrot decided to perforate it.
Aaaaack!
But I saw that the concept can work, and it's really fun!
In fact, so far, it's the only crazy quilting type thing I've done with any success!!
Anyway, it's a good article, and this issue of the magazine is really fantastic, so congrats to all involved!
