Hello! My name is P. Kelly Smith and I’m an editor for Paper Crafts magazine. One of the things I love about my job is the opportunity to rub shoulders with so many creative and scrappy chics! (All the free product ain’t too bad either!) I’ve been scrapbooking/paper crafting for 10 years now and love giving my creations away to family and friends.
About a year ago I was promoted and given a new job description – managing Paper Crafts online content. We held a fun contest where our readers submitted possible job titles. We narrowed the field to 10 and then the voting began! While our country was voting for a new president, our online community elected me to be their Online Editor Extraordinaire. So now the real adventure begins. Are you ready?
My goal is to make this one of your favorite blogs that you’ll visit often for inspiration and of course, connection!

I love your magazine and your blog.
I wonder why you haven’t featured Copics? They are the new rage in card making and have been for awhile..
I would love to find techniques..and share techniques!
I recently went and became a Certified Copic Designer because I adore them so much!
I would love to see an article about them!
Creative Hugs!

Hi Barbara,
Thanks for your e-mail! Yes, paper crafting with markers (especially Copics!) are all the rage right now!
We did do a “Tips, Tools, & Techniques” feature on markers back in July/August 2008. It was more product-based then technique-based, but there’s a lot of great tips.
I forwarded your e-mail onto Susan Opel, who now writes our TT&T article. Perhaps we’ll revisit the idea again!

I love the website and especially your blog. I am new to card crafting, having been encouraged by my daughter and her friends, who felt I needed something to divert my attention from a health concern. In fact, I picked up my first copy of your magazine at the hospital gift shop. Paper Crafts gives me loads of inspiration and immediate gratification as I try to create something using the skills shared by everyone on this site. Thank you! Just like you, I love finding so many creative, sharing people in one place.
