Congratulations Ami – you’ve won a copy of Cut Loose! Ami commented, “Crystal, I am in awe. I have a tough time cutting loose and would love to be more free in my page styles. I over think almost everything and find that when I just "DO IT" the layout is one that folks like more. So let's all "Cut Loose".”

While we randomly draw the winners of our book giveaways, we also always read through the comments left by readers. This time around, we received a particularly creative comment from member Linda. And while we didn't draw her name as the winner, I just had to share her comment with everyone:

"So many rules!" I often said,

Frustrated, from the start.

Papers to match, shapes to fit,

Can I use this? Which part?



So I've tried to fit into the mold,

Eager to please and learn,

Just the right colors, never too much,

Wait, is this the way it turns?



Then along came a book, encouraging me,

An artist, to do what I choose.

I'm grateful to Crystal,who whispered to me,

"Friend, let go and CUT LOOSE!"

How cool is that?! Thanks to everyone for sharing your thoughts on being a “cut loose” scrapper. It looks like a lot of us are looking to break a few rules in our crafting ;) (UK readers, click here for book details.)

Happy Monday!
