OK...a moment of transparency. I think I am a bit quirky...odd...unusual...peculiar... when it comes to this passion of mine...cardmaking. I LOVE a challenge and a competition...but accolades ...not so much...that's just me:)!! I have been truly honored by winning various challenges and given wonderful opportunities making cards, but it's the challenges, the winning some times, and opportunities that are truly the fun for me... the acknowledgement of them is tough for me...does that make sense??...maybe a little weird??!! Well, earlier in the year, I decided to enter one of my greatest challenges...a contest of sorts to me...with the urging of a sweet magazine editor at Papercrafts Magazine:)!!...to submit my cards for publication!! The card below was one of my very first cards published!! It is in the Papercrafts Magazine Holiday Cards &More Volume 7 ...pg. 35... and I am able to share it with you...I am thrilled and so honored!!!...sharing my fun of being published with you...
