January Issue of the Artisan Notebook

on September 11, 2010 · No Comments

Our theme for January 2011 is HERITAGE, but our creative team members, guest layout artists and designer creative team members have provided inspiration for you that is relevant for your scrapping today.

January 2011 introduces five new features:

1. Site Spotlight – Meet the designers at E-scape and Scrap and participate in a couple of challenges for your chance to win valuable gift certificates. Details posted in the magazine.

2. Grow With Love: The Letters – Sara Gleason and Crystal Livesay have joined us to showcase their new challenge for 2011 that will provide so much meaning in your scrapbook.

3. Art Journal Caravan with Tangie Baxter – If you have followed Tangie’s work in 2010, you will love her supplemental teaching in her new monthly article with us!

4. LifeBook Challenge with Vicky Pasterick – Join Victorian Rose Designs to begin an amazing challenge that will last all year and give you a very special album when you have completed her challenges.

5. The DigiDares are now being featured in our magazine, and we are thrilled to showcase special layouts by layout artists that dare to follow along!

As always, we have our Designer Spotlight, and this month RANDI OH has provided you with amazing inspiration from her creative team, plus previews of her beautiful products in addition to an exclusive FREE GIFT, a kit aptly called Cherish.

Each of our monthly challenges focuses on our Heritage theme, but sometimes with a twist! Enjoy our title challenge, our journaling challenge, our Recipe for Design challenge, a song lyric challenge, a color challenge and a hybrid project challenge.

Our Scraplift feature has been updated, and this month we are lifting a gorgeous design by Crystal Livesay. Cheryl Ashcraft of Fiddle Dee Dee Designs provides our readers with a template that has a contemporary spin on a family tree.

We have over 80 of inspiration for you, plus several FREE Gifts: Mini kit by Dee Bee Designs, Mini kit by Randi Oh, Mini kit by the designs at E-scape and Scrap, Layered Template by Fiddle Dee Dee Designs and a FREE sample background by Studio Tangie.
