As you may have heard, Paper Crafts and Scrapbooking Magazine is shutting its doors. :( A group of published paper crafters and manufacturers are participating in an epic blog hop to say thanks and bid adieu to the magazine.
I still remember the excitement of receiving the acceptance email from the editor Susan R Opel about my card being published...because I couldn't believe how lucky I was to have made it on my first try.
Here is the card. Bet you can't tell I made this card right? Haha...I spent hours poring over a Paper Crafts and Scrapbooking Magazine to "determine" what kind of card I should make to increase my chances of being published. *winks*
That was 2011. And this is 2014. Totally different eh? *LOL*

ReplyDeleteVery lovely card. I think your first card, baby buggy, was cute too. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous ! As always and so sorry to see another magazine - shutting down. I do not understand why this is happening, because all the crafters I know still want paper magazines - bet everything is either going digital or closing. So glad that you were able to share your amazing talent with them!
