Papercrafting/cardmaking magazines
by Sonja Downey 28 Jun '21

28 Jun '21

Good morning, I am researching papercrafting/cardmaking magazines to order for our library. Unfortunately I can only find really good ones that are published in the UK. Shipping to the US is exorbitant on these titles. Does anybody have a suggestions of a papercrafting/cardmaking magazine readily available here in the US? Do you have a papercrafting magazine in your library and love it? Please share your info with us. Thank you so much for your help with this. Have a wonderful start to your work week, everybody, Sonja Supervisor of Circulation Services Tecumseh District Library
