In Print... & a LOVE TRAIN RAK Winner!

My boys and I went to Calgary late last week to do some shopping and I just happened to pick up a copy of the February issue of Scrapbook Trends...
And inside on page 84 I found my "Make a Wish" layout using all of my favourite myStamp BOX stamps!!

This is my first time being published with Scrapbook Trends and all I can say is that this publication is beautiful! I know I'll treasure this copy for years to come!

Now let's find out who won my Valentine's Day RAK from the myStamp BOX Love Train Blog Hop this past weekend...

Congrats Gisele! Please email me with your full name and mailing address so I can send off your felt clips and love brads.

Yippee! Published!

As most of you know, I LOVE BasicGrey! Well apparently, they showed me a little love back!

I got a message from Kelly Goree from BasicGrey last week requesting one of my layouts for their August newsletter. Needless to say I was elated!

So check it out.... BasicGrey August newsletter. My "Lil Engineer" can be found on page 3 at the bottom!

Thanks Kelly and BG! You made my day!!!!

It's ARRIVED & a GIVEAWAY!

It finally arrived! My copies of the January 2010 issue of CARDS Magazine! I was thrilled back in August to have one of my cards requested for the first time in this amazing magazine.

Here's a picture of my card... page 39...

Here's a close up my card...


Since I received TWO copies of the magazine, I'm offering up a RAK to one lucky commenter. All you have to do to win an autographed copy of the magazine is leave me a comment below answering the following question...

What is your favourite kind of card to create (ie: birthday, Christmas, thanks, etc.)?

I will draw one lucky winner on the last day of February.... so you have 1 week to leave your comment to win! Good luck!

Yippee for Me!

I got not one but TWO emails this morning for TWO cards to be published in a up and coming new book by Kimber McGray! It is due to come out next August and all of the cards in the book are being donated to the group Operation Write Home who distributes cards to US service men and women.

I had submitted three cards and this is the third card I had sent in that didn't get accepted.

Woohoo! Published and Manufacturer Galleries!

I received an email a few days ago to say that Scrapbook News & Review was going to publish my "The Real Me" page for their June ezine! Woohoo!

I also received an email from Making Memories stating that my "Loving Life" page from Scrapbook and Cards Today magazine (Spring issue) was going up in their Customers Idea Gallery. It will become one of the voted on layouts in the gallery for June.

I also had my "Train" layout placed in the Graphic45 gallery too... right here.

It's so nice to be recognized by some of the amazing manufacturers that I love to work with!
