Cover Girl and A Featured Publication... 43

Hi there dear blogging friends! Hope you are all having a wonderful weekend! I am so excited and honored to share with you that I was recently a Cover Girl and featured in the awesome UK Magazine Simply Cards & papercraft Issue #98 that is jam packed with amazing monthly inspiration! I'm a firm believer that getting something published is like winning the paper crafting lottery!!!

The theme of the feature was to create 6 Birthday cards, 2 Easy, 2 Intermediate, 2 Advanced using Green, Purple and Turquoise while incorporating Stenciling as the technique.

I combined fun patterned paper from My Mind's Eye, dies from Spellbinders and stamps from Waltzingmouse and Donna Salazar.

Thanks so much for sharing in my excitement :) Hope you enjoyed my cards! Have an amazing weekend!
Be Sweet :)
