CASology and Less Is More

I have a bit of exciting news, for me anyway. I few weeks ago I was asked to have one of my cards featured in a Papercraft Inspirations Magazine. At first I thought it was just to get me to buy something, but it turned out to be real! I did not submit anything ,the editor saw my card on my blog, and liked it! 
 I can’t tell you how excited and shocked I was. I got to see the page layout today, and was happy to see more friends on the same two page spread. I only knew about one. 
I am so honored to be in such amazing company. 
Thanks for letting me share my excitement for my first publication.



Yes, I know lots of white!  I wish you could see this card in person. I was able to make this card for two challenges , CASology and Less is More , something I don't do too often. But when I saw white and oval , I knew what I wanted to do.  I die cut the front of the card , placed a clear cardstock using foam tamp then placed the smaller Matt on top so it appears to be floating. Die cut all my Lovely Layers( name of the die) in white then embossed using clear, stamped the sentiment from Stampin Up: Well Scripted. I used more foam tape and added to the front of the card.  The card was easy but the photography was hard… smile. I hope your all having a nice week.!

    Wow-- congratulations. It's everyone's dream, right--to be noticed. What an honor, but I have to say that I am not surprised. Can you tell us what card it was? This card today is just stunning. All that beautiful white and embossing. I never would have thought to do the lovely layers all in white, but it is just beautiful.

    EEK! I read further-you have a publication coming up? I'm thrilled for you! I can hardly wait to hear more and see it. I recognized a dramatic shift in your creative output (around the same time you got Frilly Flowers). Apparently others have taken notice as well. Congratulations, sweet friend.

    First of all, congrats with your Papercraft Inspirations publication! In case you do not know, the bigger book stores like Barnes & Noble carry that magazine if you want to buy your issue. I though since they are British they wouldn't be for sale over here.

    And, how exquisite is this card? The layers are superb! It shows up so well in the photos too. Stunning.

    OK, I'm going to stop commenting now, lest you think I'm nutty, and just browse your blog. I will say that the negative leaf card coming up next also caught my eye. You're rocking it all!

Thanks for stopping by and taking the time to comment. I love it when you do!
Take care.
