Noteworthy | 8.28.2012

Today’s issue of Noteworthy has a theme…it’s all about calls for publication and design teams! So get ready to do some scrapping! And as a bonus, we have a job listing to share as well, and some newly announced design teams.

Paper Crafts is looking for baby projects with animals, bridal cards & gift card holders using bridal dress materials, projects using pastels, country style projects, ombre/monochromatic stamping, and sketch project submissions. Submissions are due on Sept. 10th. For more information, visit the Paper Crafts magazine submissions page. [Read more...]
