I received a complimentary issue of the Autumn Stampers Sampler Take Ten, today! I had submitted some 20+ cards back in March; and over the course of the last two months Stampington's chosen to publish several of them. The upcoming issue (to hit newstands in late August / early September) has five of my cards. This issues' "sketch challenge" uses one of my cards. They took the template/sketch of one of my cards, and they're using it to challenge everybody to use it to make cards for their Spring 2008 issue. This is probably one of my biggest achievments/honor, as a cardmaker!!!

I know this hobby and passion seems "lost" on the average person (especially to people who don't care to create art); but you probably can imagine my excitement right now.

Anyhoo......I'm very happy, and we (Sean and Lucas and I) are planning to go out for ice-cream later this evening to celebrate!!! :whoohoo:

OK....we just got back from Sonic. I got an Oreo Cookie Blast, Lucas got a Cookie Dough Blast, and Sean got a chocolate milkshake. Thanks for your support, you guys! YOU DA BEST!

Erin, I went through the magazine again, and didn't recognize names from the Shack. Unless, they're Shackies who don't "chat" or post often, KWIM?

I sent these cards way back in March, and sometimes, your card won't pop up in a magazine until six months down the road. So, don't worry. I'm sure we're going to see a TON more published Shackies in the upcoming months.

Whoohoo Ethel!!!!! That's great news. Congratulations!!! And yes, I do get what you mean. I always say that rubber stampers are simply a different breed (I'm usually comparing to scrappers here, which I do too, but I think stampers are a different breed in general! lol). I'll definitely be looking for your work!

Well Done Ethel,
I'll keep my eyes open for that Mag. I can't say I have ever seen it in Australia, but you never know- maybe I'll pester the newsagent to stock it in
Congratulations

I saw your cards Ethel! The queen of vintage! Absolutely love them all! It's funny the first thing I usually do is look at the card designs and very rarely read who made them. But this time, I read each entry to see if I can recognize the designers.

Congratulations!
