October CARDs pubs.

Finally I can share with you in their entirety my first (2) cards that were published in the October issue of CARDs magazine.

Now this first one you might remember. I posted it during a week of umbrella cards when I was playing with my new Scattered Showers stamps. I especially remember the comments I got from Kerri and Anita which made me think this card was pretty dang good. So I submitted it and the next thing I know it was picked up for pub (so then I removed it from the blog - but Rebecca noticed! *wink*). This is an all Papertrey Ink card with some Pez-A-Doodle bling.

This next card you've not seen before. It's mostly Papertrey Ink with some Basic Grey patterned paper. Both my bows looked a little flat in the magazine, so Miss Debbie Olson herself counseled me on how to avoid that. So now that I know a little secret of hers, starting with my March pubs my bows should look a little better in print.

So there ya' go....thanks for indulging me and allowing me to brag, um, share, I mean share! I don't want to be nauseating and stuck-up, but, I am pretty proud of myself so you may have to put up with me for a while until being published gets old - - although I hope it never does!

Appreciate you supporting me {hugs} <~~and I'm not the hug type so that's huge!

Glad to see the missing card in action, again. That was definitely one of my favorites from umbrella week! I love the color combo and it's such a fun layout! Congrats on being published....that's awesome.
