Okay, so I was sitting at Chapters this afternoon having a latte, and flipping through card magazines, as I often do on a Sunday afternoon.

I open a page of one of the nine magazines I have on my lap...and there's a card that looks a LOT like one I did some months ago, then I flipped the page...and there's another...then I flipped the page...ANYWAY...it ends up that there are EIGHT FULL PAGES of MY CARDS published in the Spring edition of Paper Creations magazine!! PLUS...they made patterns for every one of the cards and included the patterns as a "freebie pull-out" for magazine readers!!

I'm about bouncing off my chair here, can you tell? (lol) I knew ONE of them was scheduled to be in an upcoming issue, but thought it was to be published in the fall.

Instead of flooding the gallery, I'll just put some links here.

I'm on cloud nine...just needed to share...

OMG Deborah!!! I'm sooo excited for YOU!!! Congratulations and Hip Hip Hooray!!! YOU GO GIRL!!! I'm always amazed at your talent in cardmaking and this doesn't surprise me one bit. I can't believe they didn't tell you they were publishing all these! I think they should have included your photo and bio to go with them!! or did they??? Can't wait to see the mag...I don't subscribe to that one so will have to try and find it.
Yeah for YOU!!! :) Smiles, Pam :)

Fabulous news! Ok, so wait just a minute. Didn't you get paid or at least a free copy of the magazine? I think they owe you big time for creating 8 pages of their mag!

Wow, that would be quit a surprise. I would think they should have sent you a free copy or pay or something for all of that. Congrats on getting so many published, you do great work.

THANKS everyone. I sure do appreciate your feedback.

Yes, I heard this morning that a free issue is on its way, but once I saw it yesterday, I just couldn't wait (lol).

And yes, they are sending me $$$ as well! Lucky me, getting paid for having FUN!! That'll go into my "Hmmm-what-needs-me-now" craft fund. (lol)

Congratulations Deborah. I love your story. I can't imagine being able to contain myself. Did you do the happy dance right there in front of everyone? Listen, don't worry about flooding the gallery -- that's what our gallery is for. I looked at all your links and your cards are gorgeous! You Rock!

Congratulations Deborah! But I need to know--did you autograph all the magazines in the store??--and ask the store to put a sticker on the cover saying "signed by artist"--LOL!!

Thanks again everyone, you're so generous to share my excitement.


I can't imagine being able to contain myself. Did you do the happy dance right there in front of everyone?


Not quite the happy dance, but I choked on my latte, does that count? :laugh:

My delightful (well, mostly...) husband was thrilled too, for a different reason. He was quite firmly in that "no-mans'-land" called the dog house. When I came home after buying the magazine, he was doing MY ironing (!!!), and sent fervent God-blesses to the editor of Paper Creations for getting him out for "time served." So...a happy day all 'round! :D
