Hi! Everyone,
Photo Craft is continuing to build and refine the www.allnaturalaccents.com website since we have just added more wafer die lines for the Sizzix BigShot and the Provo Craft Cuttlebug. Besides having Spellbinders, Memory Box, Dee's Distinctively, and our own exclusive WikiCAPS, I have just added two new category tabs for Poppy Stamps dies and Cottage Cutz dies. That's an addition of 57 more dies!
Besides focusing on the best wafer dies, other areas of concentration are on new releases of local designs such as Sister Stamps and Dandelion Designs, and any Asian designs by all crafting manufacturers.
As I mentioned in the last Photo Craft Newsletter, the newest die release from WikiCAPS is the long awaited Bamboo die. For the month of November, Photo Craft is having a creative contest using this die. To enter the contest, just email me a photo image of your bamboo crafting project at photocraft@yahoo.com It can be a greeting card, a scrapbook layout, or any paper crafting project. Judging will be weighted on the following criteria: 30% - Originality, 30% - Creativity, and 40% - Overall Design. The winners will receive a special credit on our website. 1st Place is $50, 2nd Place is $25, and 3rd Place is $15!!!
This bamboo wafer die features a bamboo stalk in 4 segments with 6 combinations of bamboo leaves and a bamboo branch. The die cut is designed so that you can piece together a single stalk with the length and curvature that you desire for your crafting project. You can also layer the bamboo leaves to make your design as simple or as full as you like. The stalk segments and bamboo leaves also have subtle partial cuts to give more accent to the design. Another Photo Craft exclusive die! Get your bamboo die now, and let your creativity flow. We'll be announcing the winners of the contest next month!

Photo Craft has set up a business Facebook account, so there is another way to keep abreast of crafting activities. Just do a search of "Photo Craft" (two separate words), and it should show up. If you "like" Photo Craft, you'll be able to see all of the postings. Check out the Photo Albums there to see the latest card designs and crafting examples. If you'd like to contribute to the photo gallery, please feel free to upload your images. The more crafters share with each other, the more inspiration we will all get in return!
