Craft: 02 hits newsstands on January 23 (update: on newsstands now):

We are so excited about this issue that we can’t seem to contain ourselves! Vol 2 is themed “Creative Copies” which just goes to show you sometimes things aren’t exactly like what they appear to be — they are better!

Look for it soon, in your mailbox or at a finer bookstore or craft shop near you!
