'Tis the Season

...to be jolly! Well, for my 2 pooches, they're not exactly thrilled. It's that time of the year when I pull out those dreaded antlers and ask them to smile for the camera. Well, not really. Anyway, here's my DT layout for "A True Friend" blog. Our challenge is to show our pets preparing for Christmas.

Aren't they funny? Notice how my chocolate lab is still clinging to his filthy, stuffed Halloween ghost. Sorry, buddy, that holiday is long past...Christmas time is near!

In other news, here are my layouts published in Scrapbook News and Review's November issue.

Thanks for taking a moment from shopping to come and visit my blog! 'Til next time!

Published LOs for November

Here are my published layouts from the November issue of Scrapstreet e-magazine. For those of you who are looking for some inspiration, this is a great place to go, and the best part is that it's FREE! I was truly inspired by the Cuttlebug challenge in this issue. It is so full of die cut and embossing techniques in both layouts and cards- truly awesome!

'Til next time!!

ScrapStreet Pubs

Hello everybody! Hope your Halloween was full of tricks and treats! Unfortunately, I had to work, but no fear, the candy still found me on the job...

More Pub News!

One last check of my e-mail tonight and thank goodness I checked my spam mail too! Hidden in there was a publication request from the awesome Scrapbook News & Review! THREE of my submitted layouts were accepted for publication! They have a special double-issue coming out at the end of September, though I'm not sure if my layouts will be in there or a future issue. I feel so honored to be chosen for their magazine! And they sent me their honorary blinkie to add to my blog! Yay!! Well, have a great night everyone...I know I will!

Pubbed for the very first time!

One of the reasons that I decided to start blogging is to showcase my work and update everyone on my scrap happenin's! Back in July, I started (with much hesitation) to submit my work to scrap magazines for publishing. I consider myself a decent scrapper, but with much to learn and improve on! I would not have been surprised if I didn't hear anything back.
Well, in August, I got TWO requests for publication from the online scrap mag "Scrapstreet.com." Those layouts will be published in October 2009. Then to boot, I got TWO more requests for publication from the same magazine. Those will appear in their November 2009 issue. Talk about stoked! I'm gonna be famous (heh heh!) Well, at present, I can't link the layouts here due to publication restrictions, but I will certainly post them once they're out in the mags, so stay tuned! Oh, and thanks for stopping in!
