I've been PUBLISHED!!!

I am SUPER excited that I can finally share with you the card I created in January for the Paper Crafts Stamp It Cards Vol. 9 publication. 


I submitted four (4) cards for this publication, and was watching FB as always on the day they announce that emails are going out.  When I saw the "Newbie" e-mail from Susan Opel in February I was so happy. I screamed "Yahoo!!!", laughed, and then told my darling husband who was looking at me like I was a little crazy.  He asked which of my cards was chosen so I pulled it out and showed him.  He was very proud of me!

When I received my copy of the Stamp It Cards Vol. 9 last Thursday along with my card I immediately looked for my card in the publication.  It was pretty cool seeing something I designed in living color in the magazine. I'm still smiling!

My card is under the "Get Well" category located on page 84.

This adorable little guy is from the Wishes & Kind Thoughts stamp set from Avocado Arts which you can find here.  I paper pieced the adorable outfit, did a bit of coloring with my Copic Markers, added some Lemonade Twine from The Twinery to the raincoat, and gave him some googly eyes!  I put a slit between his right wing to put the handle through and popped the umbrella up with 3D Foam Squares.  The clouds were attached with Mini Glue Dots.

I will be picking up a Shadow Box to display both the publication and my card in.  It will be proudly displayed in my craft room.  ;o)

Thank you for the "congratulations" that have already been left on my blog!

Until next time ... Enjoy!
