Totally Creative Magazine Review and Giveaway

When the good folks over at Totally Creative Magazine offered me the opportunity to review their online magazine, I was thrilled. This was the first time I had heard about the magazine. For anyone who has stopped by my online store, withourhands, you know that I love creating crafts of all kinds. I used to subscribe to a few other craft magazines but all of them were for a specific craft; scrapbooking, stamping, cardmaking, beads. The first thing that I loved about Totally Creative Magazine was the variety of crafts included in the issue I received. They had everything from decorating a harvest candle, making a baby footprint memory frame kit to a needle-felted shoulder bag and autumn leaf bracelet and earrings.


Many times I see a craft project instruction sheet and find it confusing to follow along with the printed directions, especially if I'm new to the craft. Within the Totally Creative Magazine they offered step-by-step instructions with photos included. My favorite project in this issue was the Autumn Leaf Bracelet and Earrings. I'm definitely going to be making this one, but will probably change around the charms to one for Christmas.
