My Card Will be Published!

Posted on | May 20, 2008 | 4 Comments |

I am so excited. I received an email from Card Trends and one of the four cards that I submitted will be published. Yeah! So tomorrow I need to remember to mail my card to them. I can’t wait to see it in October! I’ve also completed my interview question for something – a customor spotlight basically. I’d love to tell you but it’s still in its early stage. If it does get published (or if it doesn’t), I’ll let you know. Maybe in a few months.

Today I want to share this page. I used my April Studio Calico kit for this LO. The paper is a Sassafrass pattern paper that I cut up. I also use SEI paper and a Studio G stamp. The frame is American Craft, the alpha is a Cricut font, and the buttons were picked up from WalMart.

The picture was taken summer 2002. I was going through a divorce and 93 lbs (no, it’s not a typo – I am 5′ 3″). I thought of journaling but just didn’t feel like it. I just want to remember the photos the way they are. I’ve gained a few since {::SMILES} but oddly, the outfit I wore then still fits me today.

Now, do you see the doodling that I did around the left 3×5 picture and also outlining the dark pink alphabet (Just Me)? I used the Sakura Glaze Gel Pen for that. That was the first time and I loved it. When you use this pen you’re going to feel like you bought a defective item. You can barely see the ink. But wait, just let it dry and you’ll see the colors clearly and raised up or in my term, embossed. So nice! After outlining the alpha, my title doesn’t look so blah. I gave you a link to the pen so that you can read about it but I didn’t buy mine online. I purchased mine from Hobby Lobby for $9.95. It’s a smaller set, only five in a package. Using this was like a dream come true for me. I didn’t know such a think exist. Ha ha, right?

Well, g-night! It’s past midnight here. Got to get some shut eyes!!
