We are very excited to share this new issue with you as it's filled to the brim with beautiful creations and wonderful tutorials, special projects and guest designers, as well as many holiday inspired gift ideas and decorations. I would like to say a very special thank you to each of the designers, magazine staff members, and special guests who have joined in for this amazing issue and lent their talents to the beautiful and special creations you see in this issue. We are honored to showcase each of these projects and we are grateful to everyone for giving of their time and creativity. We would also like to make special mention to our company partner in this issue Wild Orchid Crafts. WOC has shared some of their amazing paper crafting embellishment products to our designers to create their one of a kind projects. It was a pleasure to work with WOC for this issue and we know you will enjoy seeing the various ways our designers have used these special embellishments in conjunctions with our Whimsy Stamps products. Whether you are looking for a new technique, searching for a gift idea, or just want to be inspired to ink up your stamps, this magazine issue is sure to spark creativity and encourage you to try new things. Grab a cup of your favorite drink and pull up a chair and be prepared to stare! We hope you enjoy reading this issue as much as we have enjoyed bringing it to you. Happy Stamping, Denise
...and a note from Ann Dear friends, It has been a fight to get this issue out in time, but I am proud to say, that the battle has been won and we are triumphant! As I sit here writing this Editor‟s Note the night before the release date, I am happy to say that I think we have yet again succeeded in bringing you wonderful inspiration that is sure to get those creative juices flowing. Of course, we couldn‟t have done it without the help of the artists, designers and guests - without you, this magazine would be nothing. With the holidays fast approaching, I know that personally, this issue will come in handy when I am scrambling for unique gift ideas for the special people in my life. I am always in awe of the wonderful tutorials that are provided for us to share with you! From making your own clay embellishments to trinket pins, creating a masterpiece out of an old book, transforming plain boxes and candles to priceless gifts to be treasured - the list is endless! As I have mentioned to the many people, I am ever-so-lucky to be amongst such talent and to be working with wonderful products. We appreciate that you keep us going and are grateful for all the support that the magazine has received. It warms my heart to hear such praise for it. With your support, we hope to keep bringing you inspiration for many years to come! Till next time, Ann ©Whimsy Stamps, LLC.
