Summer Inspiration! Latest crafting magazines in stock now

Whether you are lying out in the sun or snuggled up avoiding the drizzly rain a good craft magazine is just visual bliss for crafting inspiration.  So many ideas can be gained from the internet but to me nothing beats the quality or feeling of a solid magazine of ideas.

Here are the latest crafting magazines in store right now:


In every quarterly issue of Art Journaling, artists open their journals and share creative techniques for capturing their emotions. From stamping and collage art to painting and sketching, each journal is filled with innovative techniques that you'll want to try in your own art journal. Detailed photos and commentary will help you discover your journaling style, with hints and tricks for creating a stand-out page.
 

The winter issue of Belle Armoire Jewelry contains innovative ideas to keep you crafting all season long! In "The Art of Presentation," Ruth Rae shares her method for delicately encasing her pieces – on top of tiny sewn pillows. We are happy to have Kristen Robinson display her elegant designer collection, and many other talented jewelry artists demonstrate fascinating techniques with fibers, resin, wire wrapping, metal work, and more. Pick up this unforgettable issue, and prepare to be inspired.
