I like it when they give away stamps or templates.

The only one I get is Complete Cardmaking on your pc. You get a good value cd on the front. I still need to subscribe though. I used to have Cardmaking and Papercraft and got my x cut cutter as a freebie which is still going strong but I didnt resubscribe. I had c and c subscription for a year but barely used it so that was a waste of money.

I have just sent for Complete Cardmaking, I was going to take out a subscription, but decided to try a copy first, If it's any good I will take out the subscription, I'll let you all know what I think when I receive it.

I subscribe to cardmaking and papercraft. I love the free gifts you get every month with it.

My very last article for them came out this month

I hope they continue to inspire you, and that perhaps I did in the past

I'm subscribing to maybe 6 mags at the minute, yeah I know, madwoman, but an alterior motive lol. I lost my job just over a year ago and couldn't afford to buy more stash so, I subscribed to mags with great freeebies, got the helix craft room, snowman goodies, tonic side cutter punch with punches, deck the halls goodies and who knows what else hee hee came in handy though as I was asked to do a stall at Xmas and thanks to all the freebies I made £100 in card sales,in only 2 hours!!, yeah okay used loads of my own stash, but hey. I find the Complete Cardmaking mag pretty good, the free CD is great. You'll find that with some of the mags you can actually download the free papers, another good mag is creative cardmaking, get great freebies with that. My I had a lot to say didn't I lol

I don't actually subscribe to any craft magazines as I've never found one that consistently has something I could see myself doing in it, but on the rare occasions when I'm in town, and can get a disabled parking spot near a newsagents, I have a good look through all the craft magazines that they have at the time. I then decide on the two or three that have caught my eye with either a free gift that I immediately think, "Ah! I could use that", or with the most ideas for cards when I think "I could actually make those, with a slight twist, from what I've got in my stash". I do occasionally look at the adverts, but mostly not. Only if I'm looking for something specific.

Any papers or bits of embelishments I think "I'll never use that" I put to one side and let my young nephews use for their crafty creations when they come over and want to do a bit of "gluing".
