I'VE BEEN PUBLISHED!

Morning everyone,

Brrrr it still feels so cold here at the moment! It will be 1st February tomorrow and I always think once February is through then Spring is on its way.  And there is not long to go either!  I love the thought of Spring!

Well I am so excited and wanted to share my news with you.  I had a small package arrive the end of last week with a stamp inside.  I had not ordered anything so was mystified.  And guess what, there was a With Compliment Slip inside too from a Publishing Company.  I have had a card of mine published in a magazine!  (Creative Cardmaking Issue 37 ) Well I immediately had to find somewhere that sold the magazine and purchase it to find out which card had been published.  The link takes you to the shop I bought it from, they give a brilliant service and I use them such a lot.  This appears to have stemmed from a competition I entered last year (did no good with it) but it has come from that.  And you know what, I nearly did not send that card!

Want to see it? Well my photo is terrible but I never expected to be posting this and I think it was taken with my old camera too!

And lower view

Actually it is a lovely magazine, and I was thrilled to bits to find a selection of lovely Nitwit papers inside as the freebie!  I will definitely use those!

Well I am off to get some breakfast now, so I will wish you a lovely day, and as always thank you for dropping by.

CHERRY BLOSSOM

Hi again, back with my second one today,

Wel we got the printer replaced, thankfully it was still under guarantee.  Need to get it set up tonight!

Here I have a different style card to show you.  Mum asked me to make her two 90th birthday cards, each to be totally different from each other, so this is what I came up with for one of them.  The Cherry Blossom image is one my friend coloured for me.  I think more or less everything else came from my stash, apart for the leaves which I made using the Martha Stewart 'branch' punch..  All the work is in the image really, apart from that it is nice and plain and simple.  Even so it is surprising how long it can take just designing a card.  I am sure you will know what I mean here.

I would like to enter it into the following Challenges:

Creative Craft World Challenge - Numbers

Emerald Fairie Garden Challenge - Flowers, Flowers, Flowers 

Bunny Zoe Challenge - Lace it Up 

Whoopsi Daisy Challenge - Free and Easy 

Thank you for looking,
