Published in Cards May Issue

I'm finally able to blog my card that was published last month in Northridge Publications CARDS magazine. You can find my card on page 34 of the magazine. The category for this card submission was under 'Style Challenge'- Chevrons, Yellow, Turqoise and Coral.

I don't have the actual magazine yet, but managed to download the online version so that I can see my card (this is my first publication in Cards magazine, Yay!). I have another card in the July issue of Cards on pg 30. I won't be able to share it until August.
An update on my Kaisercraft DT submission. I found out that I was not successful in Round 2 but was elated to find out that I was in the Top 20 to get into Round 2 in the first place! Nevermind, I had fun making the projects which I can't share yet until the collections are released. Stay tuned!
Big Hugs to Lin for sending me a scan of the magazine!

I'm still recovering from World Card Making Day! There were so many blogs and cards uploaded on the weekend, it was hard to keep up. I just wanted to finish off a card that I started on the weekend and upload it to the last of the WCMD contests. I have an Off-the-page project which I want to finish off this week, can't wait to upload it next week. My card today has a pink theme to go with CAS-sual Fridays - For the Girls challenge. I combined it with the Hero Arts October sketch and the Trendwatch challenge in the Classroom. I based the design on a previous card I had made here. Hope you like it!

Chevron Butterflies

I've finally weakened! MFT had a sale a few weeks ago and I decided to jump on the chevron wagon! I wanted to get the hexagon dies too but they were sold out in the first day of the sale! Today I went to the first day of the Paperific Expo and found one store with the MFT hexagon die (there was about 6 on display). I didn't wait long before I purchased it along with a Martha Stewart scoreboard from another store. Later, when I went back a few hours later, both the hexagon dies and scoreboard were sold out!! I had a great time at the Expo! Got some new 6x6 pads, dies, stamps and tools - so I can't wait to experiment. I feel a hexagon card brewing.... BTW, I won't be jumping on the Neon train :) - just not me!! Anyway, I've used Basic Grey, My Minds Eyes and Hero Arts in this card and will be submitting it to both the Basic Grey and Simon Says Stamp challenges. The butterfly stamp is repeated, so it is also submitted to Moxie Fab World Repetition challenge. Thanks for dropping by!
