Sneak Peek

September's magazine is drafted, and all that's left to do is the fine tuning and make sure all the freebies (which we have an abundance of this month) are all in order and ready to go.  We thought you would enjoy seeing some of the faces and projects coming your way on the 15th. 

We also want to take this opportunity to remind you that this is our One Year Anniversary Edition and that we are no longer a free online publication.  You must be a paid subscriber in order to continue receiving Papers and Pixels Magazine.  Subscription rates are very reasonable at $12.00 per year, or $1.50 per issue.  Details for subscribing are in the Forum, or you can download a pdf of the instructions by clicking HERE.

Thank you for your support and interest this past year.  We hope you sign up for a subscription and continue reading Papers and Pixels.

Now for the sneak peek!
