Hey everyone! We are having a lazy Sunday evening, watching Titanic. I love that movie, I never noticed how much they cuss though! Not good when your a recovering cusser and the kids are trying to watch! :) Anyway I wanted to share some exciting news with ya'll, I submitted my first card to a magazine yesterday, I hope I sent it right and everything! :) I didn't have the courage before, but since starting this blog I have been so encouraged by ya'll, so THANK YOU!! I'll let you know if anything comes of it, and I plan on making more to submit too! I also wanted to share a Color Craze challenge that Kim from
Jacksoki has just started. She says it is an informal challenge, but I think it will be fun, so Thanks Kim!! :) If you would like to join, go over and check it out and see her amazing work too! For me the colors just screamed baby, so I made two cards for the Pregnancy Center again! I water colored one and I used colored pencils for the other, I really need to get Copics or something, but boy are they expensive!! So until then, these tools will have to do! :) Here they are, I hope ya'll like them!
Paper- My Mind's Eye, SU!
Stamps- PaperTrey Ink- Mega mixed messages, Autumn Leaves- Mindy's Zoo stamps, Stampabilites- Polka dot background

Supplies:
Cute cards. Love your clean and simple style. I know what you mean about movies and cussing, or even bad messages. It's hard to find entertainment choices that meet holiness standards, isn't it? (Hope the magazine you submitted to accepts your card!)
ReplyDeleteCongrats on your first submission!!! Good luck hopefully they'll choose your card :) I submitted my first a couple of months ago (nothing came from it though). I need to submit more :0) You cards are so cute. TFS!!

These are adorable cards!! You really worked those color combos perfectly!! Congrats on your first submission, you are way talented so keep it up!
ReplyDeleteThese are adorable winter! I love the little hippo especially! Yay for submitting to a magazine! I know we'll be seeing you in print soon!
ReplyDeleteCongrats on submitting your card, Winter! {hugs}
ReplyDeleteAnd the cards here are adorable. :) I didn't even think of these colors for babies when I picked them, but they make such joyful baby cards! Fabulous.
That is so exciting you submitted. I am pulling for you. I understand about the movies too. Carlin and I try to be careful about the movies we watch, but it is TOUGH.
ReplyDeleteI love these cards and your take on the color challenge. I know what you mean about the copics. I've not taken the plunge either. They're so pricey. eeeks. Plus, I have a lot of Stampin Up markers, so it's hard for me to toss those.
Wow, this is a long rambling post! Take care, and have a blessed week :)
Oh Winter, Congrats on submitting your first card~can't imagine the magazine NOT publishing anything of yours!
ReplyDeleteBest Wishes and Good Luck {{{HUGS}}}
