Three of my cards were published in the new issue of Stamper's Sampler - Take Ten. I'm so excited! I started my blog in January and decided this was the year to start participating in challenges and submitting to magazines.
It's funny... I do like these cards but they're a little too crisp and clean for my usual tim/wendy/7gypsies-ish style. Now I'm more comfortable with myself and my style and am sending in things more reflective of both.
Anyway, thanks for all the support as I've gotten started here in blog land! If you have the Summer 2011 issue, please check out my cards on pages 48 and 121. I've added photos below but they're not so good... I didn't know how to take a decent photo back in January!
These two have the same layout design because they were submitted for the Design Challenge using a sketch with inverted squares/rectangles. The one below was for a Fun & Games Challenge.
Thank you for visiting! Have a fantastic day.
Great Big Congrats!!! Isn't it fun to see your name and cards in print? I'm clapping for you. Hope to be seeing more being published.
