Celebrate With Me!

Hi Everyone! 

I'm excited to tell you that I have a Halloween card published in the October Issue of Scrap and Stamp Magazine! You can see it on page 17.  I created this for DRS Designs using the Women are Angels Greeting (298G),  Witchly Accessories image (154K) and the Tiny Happy Halloween (938A) stamp.

The image was colored with Copic Markers, fussy cut and then adhered to the card front.  Couldn't help but add the cute Martha Stewart punched bats to accent the Halloween theme on this card.  I added eyes to them with a white Gel pen.  Isn't that Women are Angels Greeting funny?!?!  I love it! 

I am a regular subscriber to Scrap and Stamp magazine and I was sent a complimentary issue since my card was published in it.

I'd like to share the extra copy with one of you!  

Please leave a comment on this post by Monday, August 20th and I will select one winner from all of the comments and mail out the magazine for free.  This is open to US and Canadian residents only. 

Thanks for celebrating with me! 

Smiles,

Jennifer

My Blogoversary and Small Give Away!!

Four years ago today I started my blog. I remember being nervous, yet very eager to show off my work. Now with many dedicated readers, I'm glad I did! I'd like to celebrate with a small give-away. I have an extra copy of the April issue of Stamp and Scrap Arts that I'd like to give to one of my readers.

 

Curious as to why I have an extra copy? Well, one I received as part of my regular subscription, and the other I received as a complimentary copy because my Scarecrow card has been published on page 38!!!!! Big thanks to DRS Designs for submitting this card for me! 

This give away is open to everyone.  Please leave me a comment and I'll pick one random winner Monday morning March 26th.

Thanks for stopping by!

Smiles,

Jennifer

In Print!

I received my subscription copy of the Summer 2009 issue of Just Cards Magazine in Friday's mail. Much to my surprise while browsing it page by page I found 2 of my own cards were published! Of course after seeing each one I had to do a little happy dance!

I submitted these cards about 9 months ago in a package of about 7 cards and only 2 have been published thus far. Maybe there will be a few more in the upcoming issue??!?!?!?! I'm keeping my fingers crossed! I love seeing my work in print!

There are a ton of great cards in this magazine and I always find a ton of inspiring ideas every time I look through one of the issues. There are many talented card makers and stampers out there, but I know I don't have to tell you that!

I'd also like to congratulate all of my friends at the Stamp Shack & fellow DT members who also have cards published in this issue. I see quite a few names I recognize!

So for those of you who have the magazine already or for those of you who are planning on running out to get it, you can find my cards on pages 48 & 86. Pretty cool huh?

Enjoy!

Smiles,
Jennifer

I've been published...Again!

Ever since I became a serious card maker about 3 years ago, one of my goals was to get my work published. It took me a long time to actually take the plunge! First, I had to get enough courage to actually write the Editor and then I had to learn to let go of my 'precious' cards if any were accepted. Finally in December 2007, I answered a Birthday card submission call for the Scrapbook Trends CARDS Magazine. Within 2 weeks I had heard back from the Editor that my card was accepted and I quickly mailed in my original card for publishing of the May 2008 issue. I was ecstatic and could hardly believe that it was actually going to happen! I think the hardest part overall is the wait time to actually see it in print--5 months! Here is the cover picture of the magazine. This issue recently hit the new stand, so I am now able to announce this publication and share with you the chosen card! I haven't received my complimentary copy of this magazine yet, but if you have it, I have been told that it can be found on page 167.

The candle stamp is by Northwoods Rubber Stamps and it was colored with Prismacolor Pencils and blended with odorless mineral spirits. The "birthday" stamp is a single, clear acrylic stamp by Clearly Wordsworth, stamped repeatedly. All cardstock is Bazzill, and the brads are from Joann's Scrap Essentials.

This is the second time my work has been published. The first time was recently in the Spring 2008 issue of Just Cards Magazine. I had 3 cards published in that issue. You can see that blog post here.

Now, that I have accomplished the goal of having my work published I am learning how addicting it can be. Everything I make is made with the hopes of submitting it. I try to answer submission calls so I send in what the magazines are looking for and I hope to have repeated success in many magazines like many of my fellow Stamp Shack sisters have done. Within the past few weeks I have answered a few more calls hoping to have cards published in Fall issues of several magazines. I'm keeping my fingers crossed and you know I will keep you all posted!

Thanks for visiting today!

Smiles,

Jennifer

Goal Accomplished...AGAIN!

Today is an exciting day! I just received my issue of the Spring 2008 Just Cards magazine. My "Gone Fishing Birthday" card is on the cover (!!!!) AND I have 3 cards of mine total in this magazine! This is so exciting for me, as this is the first time I have actually seen my work in print. I know I have a card being published in another magazine in May, but I haven't received my copy of that magazine yet.



Here's the cover. My card is the bottom right one with the fish, fishing boat & fishing hat!




Pg 14 Daffodils



pg 72 Gone Fishing Birthday



pg 109 Thank you Rose (also seen on pg 105)



I CAN'T BELIEVE IT! I HAD NO IDEA! I submitted these cards back in December. I thought they would contact me if they decided to use them! What a wonderful surprise today. I am so excited! I'm doing the happy dance!


I originally made these cards to sell at a craft show in December 2007. The weather was really bad the day of the show (our first snow storm of the season) so the show didn't do very well overall. I had so many cards left over that I decided to submit one of each design to this magazine. I still have many of these cards for sale if you are interested in purchasing them. You can see them here in my Etsy shop, or you can contact me here for more info.


Thanks for looking. I just had to share my excitement!
More house stuff tomorrow.

Smiles,
Jennifer
