CLOSED - Scraptastic!
1652_1691_popup.gifIf the title, “Scraptastic! 50 Messy, Sparkly, Touchy-Feely, Snazzy Ways to Jazz Up Your Scrapbook Pages” doesn’t make you want to run to your craft space and dive head first into a project, then a quick peek inside this awesome book is sure to put you over the edge. Inside, author Ashley Calder shares 50 illustrated techniques including watercolor painting, gold leafing, stamping, embroidery, paper piercing, beading, quilting, collage and more.

Ashley’s book is hitting store shelves now, right in time for the holidays. To celebrate it’s release, we’re giving away a copy to one lucky reader! Leave us a comment at this post for your chance to win. One winner will be randomly selected on Monday (Dec. 3). All entries will be considered until this post reads “closed”.

Stay tuned this week for more Scraptastic goodness from our staff and special sneak peeks from inside the book!
