Publications!
Since I'm catching up on things these days (like RAKs), I thought I'd also do a little horn tooting and show you guys my first publications! The above card can be found on page 44 of the January/February 2012 issue of Paper Crafts. Interestingly, it was the first idea I had when I read the call for submissions. I couldn't seem to get it right though so I made and submitted a bunch of other cards instead. Then at the last minute I gave it one more try, sent it in and this was the only one to be chosen. Funny how things work...
I also had two cards published in the December 2011 issue of Cards.
Please excuse the appalling photos!! These were taken way back in April or May when my photography skills were still extremely raw (ie non-existent). I'm grateful they chose them despite the photography!
I also wanted to thank both Jen of The Sparkle Within and Jane of Create and Show for passing the Liebster Blog Award on to me. You should stop by their blogs and check them out if you haven't before. They both have lots of gorgeous cards and layouts on show!

Woo hoo!! I LOVED all of these cards when I saw them!! I think I told you before, but the house/home was my favorite card in the issue. :) The flower is so striking, too! It's funny about the me-you card...yes, that's how it always works. But I'm glad it worked because the card is so clever and fun!
