I got my last issue of my favorite magazine in the world. And now I am sad. Journaling says, "Eight years ago, you came on the scene. I had already been subscribing to Creating Keepsakes for a number of years, but it never really “spoke” to me. Full of gorgeous, creative layouts, yes, but far beyond anything I ever could do or cared to do. quilling, inking, tea staining - all gorgeous, but not my style or how I was interested in scrapping. Miraculously, Simple Scrapbooks came along. It blew my mind to see other scrappers who did simple and clean layouts like I did. I felt vindicated and validated and quickly subscribed. I was a subscriber for almost the entire 8 years and I will really, really miss it. You rocked, Simple Scrapbooks. I will always be thankful that you were around and gave me permission to scrap the way my heart led. though I was never published, I dreamed that my layouts were good enough to be featured. I hope CK will treat this segment with the care it deserves!" Everything from Christy Sturm's Temptation over Tea kit and Grand-merè’s Étagerè kit.
