When I first found out about this new magazine I knew I wanted my children to be involved. What a great concept for a new publication and I am always looking for new ways to tie my love of crafting with my children. This issue is packed with fun projects to do with your children and I hope you enjoy it as much as my girls and I are. I asked my girls if they wanted to create something and they actually created multiple projects. I was very intentional to force myself to not help them and let their little creative minds solve any issues that came up and they did. Two of their projects were chosen, paper dolls made with their own photos and journals to store their treasured artwork. They now think they are famous and they wanted me to email their art teachers over the summer to share the exciting news with them....cute uh? I thought while I am away on vacation in northern Michigan, I would also host a little give-a-way. Leave a comment on this post and the lucky winner will receive one Create With Me issue. I will post the winner on July 10th. The folks at stampington are having a virtual launch party to celebrate the new publication. Check it out right here and make sure you stop by....there will be fun give-a-ways.


















































oh, how cute! i guess they ARE famous! thanks for the chance to win!

Yeah, your cute little girls have adopted many of their mother's wonderful talents! I'd love to win the magazine. I've no little kids, but small children come into the studio often, so it would be well used. Enjoy those girls...they grow up so soon! pat

I adore your paper doll ceations your children designed. I have started making them also and like you, it takes me back to my childhood. I am looking for ways other than scrapbooking, cards and framing that I can use the paper doll creations I design. Any suggestions?
