i try not to make a big deal about when i'm published. i don't want to come off like i'm bragging on myself or anything. lol! but i think most of you know me better than that. i have to say though, july was a pretty big month for me in a few of the magazines. first off, it was my first time being published in creating keepsakes. which then sort of randomly, led to having my studio featured in the august issue. and then there were these.
in the july issue of cards magazine, i was featured as the "designer of the month". i was actually approached for this opportunity last november, over 7 months ago. i was totally honored to be asked. i got to create 3 cards of my choosing, and do the write-up of my bio, info, and tips.
in the july issue of scrapbook trends magazine, i was chosen for the "award winning style" section at the front of the magazine. i had already sent some layouts in for that issue, and they choose one of those to feature. i got to write up the meaning and reason for creating my layout, and also type up 5 fun facts about myself.
i also had some additional layouts and cards in each issue. since i had fun putting together a cool collage of peeks last week, i thought i'd create this one to show you the projects in the july issues. you might recognize some of these little peeks, since some of these projects were shared on my blog at some point. but some of these are new projects. i can't officially share them (or put them back on my blog) until the issues have been out for a while. but here's a peek at my 9 projects in there. and i have to thank my good friend carla for taking the photos of the magazines for me. i havn't actually seen these in print yet 😉

I was going to send (I’m proud of you) email when things calmed down around here.
I guess I can say it all here. Yes, I did see both months of CK both your studio and this month layout and tips. I am so proud of you. I really admire your designs. In fact I have made nine layouts this week. Sometimes I have my laptop open next to me and look off your albums when I need a jumping off point or get stuck. You make it so easy looking. When I know it takes a lot of time and care to produce and share your ideas with us.
Congrats to you and many thanks for sharing your passion with us.
