Exciting News

I received word this week that Scrapbook News and Review, an online magazine, has picked up my "Just In Case" layout for their October issue. Since this is my first layout to be published, needless to say, I'm extra excited! Ian said he could hear me cheering all the way upstairs even though his door was shut! lol

I Adore You Card

I wanted to make a card for Patter's Junk Mail Challenge over on the 2 Peas Board (see the details here). I also realized that I haven't made or even sent Tim a card in a long time. So, I did both with this card. :) On the inside of the card, I have a sheet of white paper matted on the teal paper. Before matting it I punched a row of hearts along the bottom of the white paper and backed it with the red paper from the set. I'll spare you a pic of that 'cause I took my pics after I wrote in it. ;) Yes, Tim liked the card.

Supplies: Love Blossom kit from Faithfully Yours. This kit uses the Love You line of papers from Daisy Bucket.

I also discovered a wonderful blog today. It's called Whiff of Joy. Camilla has so many beautiful cards. Wow! She's also offering blog candy over the next few days. You'll want to check out the details here.

World Card Making Day

Yep! There truly is such a "holiday." Tim just shakes his head and mutters something about there are too many World...holidays. LOL

Here's a tag I made for a challenge over at the Pink Paislee Blog using my favorite papers...Spring Fling. I love how it turned out and will be making more. They had several other cards & projects I want to try soon. Here's my tag:

Korin at Sweet & Sassy Stamps is having a card shower for a little girl who shares my niece's birthday (Happy Birthday, Courtney!!). Janessa will turn 2 next week and is sick with leukemia. Korin is also having a drawing for those who send Janessa a card. Check out the details on her blog. Here's my card for Janessa:

Here are a few other cards I made yesterday.

I made six more for a swap but I'll wait a day or two to post them so that I can get them in the mail first. We're trying not to spoil the surprise. :)

Have a good day and thanks for looking.
