I am so very excited to share with you my first publication! To say that I am thrilled is putting it mildly - I have been floating around here ever since its first sighting by some friends at the Hero Arts flickr group. And I finally was able to find my very own copy earlier this week. I'm speaking of the January/February issue of PaperCrafts magazine!
I submitted 14 cards for this issue, and this, the simplest of them all, was the one that was chosen.
There are 3 people I especially want to thank. First is my friend Mary Anne Rhodes, who first showed me the possibilities of stamping. Next is Savannah O'Gwynn, who I met last spring and who encouraged me to submit for publication. And the third person is Virginia Lu, who has been my cheerleader in this process. Dreams do come true, don't they, V?
I will also be published in the January issue of CARDS, in the Style section, but I haven't been able to find a copy of that. If anyone has a sighting, would you let me know?
