Publication!!

Had to share!! The Summer 2012 issue of Canadian Scrapbooker just came out & one of my layouts was picked up this issue!! YAY!!

This is my second publication - which was big for me because it means the first time wasn't a fluke!  Ha ha!  My layout shares a page with the artwork of Cari Locken, Jill Sarginson, and Kelly Klapstein - - all amazing Canadian scrappers!!  So exciting!

My layout

My name in print - that will never get old!

A close up of the layout - - riding the tractor with Grampa is a favourite summer past-time of both my kids.   The left side of the page was stamped using the CTMH stamp set "Two-Step Backgrounds".  The sketch is from Page Maps book.  Paper packs used were CTMH Splendour and Animal Cookies (both retired).  Circles and scalloped circles cut with CTMH Art Philosophy Cricut cartridge.  Buttons & floss, alphabet stickers all CTMH.

Thanks for sharing my excitement!!  Be sure to pick up the summer issue of Canadian Scrapbooker - lots of great inspiration to be had!

Great Start to my Week!!

Woohoo!!!  Just found out that one of my layouts has been picked up for publication in the Summer 2012 issue of Canadian Scrapbooker!!  I'm absolutely thrilled.  Summer must be lucky for me - my first publication was exactly a year ago in the Summer 2011 issue. 

Thanks for letting me share my excitement!!  I look forward to sharing the layout with you once the magazine comes out in June.

Have a great week!

Woohoo!! It's Official!

The Summer issue of Canadian Scrapbooker magazine arrived in my mailbox today!
So excited to see my first published layout!  Seriously a dream come true!

The kids and I raced home to open it and madly flipped through the pages to find what we were looking for!!

It will be in stores June 1st - - check it out!! I'm on page 51!

Materials Used (all Close to My Heart):
The layout was picked for a feature article on the colour orange.  I love this orange (Sunset) paper from the Hooligans paper pack.  I combined it with a navy (Outdoor Denim) patterned paper from the retired BackCountry line.  The stars are chipboard and I stamped them with the Spot on Backgrounds stamp set (retired) in Sunset ink.  The title is Posterboard Alpha (one of my faves).  The accents are CTMH brown felt accents (bracket and photo corners), chocolate ribbon, and great orange accents from the Sunset Mini Medley.  And I added a little rub-on sentiment to the metal tag from the Adventure Rub-Ons. I was so happy with this layout when I did it and I'm so happy that Canadian Scrapbooker liked it too!!

Now I'm off to check out the rest of the magazine!!  So much great artwork!!
