52 Week Mini Art Card/Tag Challenge
Yesterday, I received my subscription copy of issue 84 of Creative Stamping Magazine.
After looking at the free stamp set, which is related to the 75th anniversary of VE Day celebrations, I started to have a quick flick through the magazine.
A card on the Letters/Social Snippets page took my attention, it looked familiar and then I realised it was my card. I'd made it a few weeks ago. I post my card makes on here, Facebook and Instagram and they had picked it up from Instagram, they hadn't messaged to say there would use the image, which is why I was surprised to see it. However, it's nice that they thought it was ok for publication.
I had a pleasant surprise this afternoon. While flicking through "Simply Cards & Papercrafts" magazine (issue 159), I spotted a card I had submitted to them back in the summer. Later this afternoon, Postie delivered a free gift in relation to the published card, three packs of decoupage papers.
Today I am blowing my own trumpet and patting myself on the back as one of the cards I made back in August has been published in a crafting magazine.
I actually submitted the card to another magazine, but it didn't appear so I didn't think any more about it. My friend messaged me earlier this week to say she had seen my name and card in Issue 36 of Creative Stamping Magazine (which must be a sister mag to the one I had sent it to). This week has been a mission to locate the magazine as it's not easy to find a newsagent who stocks the mag. Needless to say, I am feeling pretty proud of myself.
