Well, I'll be darned ... a TOOT!

I love the tactile feel of paper and glue, so I've been avoiding digital scrapping like the plague!! I already sit in front of a computer all day at work, so the last thing I want to do is to sit in front of a computer when I'm at home and concentrate, like really hard at doing something new like digital scrapping.

Well, its come time for me to create a little "Out for Publication" sign since not all publishers provide that for you. Can you tell I'm such a newbie at this pubbing thing? :)

So, I had some extra time today and in about an hour, I created this fun little sign.

Now, I've never done digital scrapping before. This was pretty easy I have to say. I went over to Shabby Princess because I remembered they offer free kits (thank you, thank you Shabby Princess for doing this!) and downloaded their Festival kit. About an hour later, voila!!

My newest toot that I wanted to share is that Scrapbook News & Review will be publishing one of my Spring themed cards I made for Embellish-Online using Prima and Basic Grey entitled "Let Your Dreams Take Flight." I can't share it here, again, because I have to take down all images until its time for publication in June. Those are the rules folks! And I'm thrilled.

Thanks for letting me share my good news! :)

I'm Three for Three!

Wow! I must be on a roll or something. I just got confirmation that my White Monotone card that I just reposted yesterday is being picked up for publication as well by Scrapbook News & Review for their January 2009 issue which is dropping in a few weeks on January 17th!! So that's a total of 3 items I'll have in this issue. Wow! I'm really excited.

I'm totally new to all of this "pub" business as I just began to submit just recently, and so far, I'm 3 for 3 with this e-zine. (I sure hope I didn't jinx myself for saying that!) This kind of news sure motivates me to go home and work on some more projects 'cuz my mojo is on fire!

Whooohooo!!!!

I just got an email this morning that my "K is for Kitty Cat" layout using the Upsy Daisy's Pretty Petals line that I created for Paper Popsicles is being published by Scrapbook News & Review, an online scrap mag. I "think" it will be featured in their January 2009 e-zine, as I'll have to go back and review the page call details. This marks my 2nd "pub." Whoohoooo for me!! This is definitely giving me the confidence to submit more, so I'll definitely have to find the time to do that. Per my contract agreement, I can't share the image with you for now, but as soon as the e-zine goes live, you betcha I'm gonna be dancing all by myself in a circle!!!

I'm also tickled pink that the ladies over at Moments-2-Remember have chosen my layout, "Renaissance Faire," which I also originally created for Paper Popsicles using their August 2008 "Telling Secrets" kit, as the Pick of the Month Project!! So not only will my layout be featured all month on their home page, he he!, but I get a new virtual charm for my charm bracelet in my siggie on their message board!!!

Here's my Renaissance Faire layout:
