I think that's super impressive. I absolutely love this magazine. Every time it hits the stand I rush through it and then comb back through it again every so slowly at least three or four times. It's just always so yummy!

The fall issue will be available online and for purchase on September 19th, and I cannot wait.

I just might have a project in there that I'm excited about too.

For more information, check out their blog post here. They've posted some great projects and a sneak of the new fall Crop & Create Delivered kit as well. I will definitely be getting that one!

Summer Issue On Stands NOW

I've been looking forward to every issue of Scrapbook & Cards Today magazine for a while now, but I wasn't expecting to have a project featured as a design team scraplift challenge in this issue. What a pleasant surprise!

I don't remember the last time I saw a scraplifted project of mine. Some people don't like it when others scraplift them, but I absolutely LOVE it! I even re-post scraplifts when I find them. It's the ultimate compliment to inspire someone else to make their own project, isn't it?

Okay, so head on over to their site and snag a copy or read it online instantly for free!

Scrapbook & Cards Today Spring Issue

The SC&T Spring Issue is finally here! Yeah! It's one of my absolute favorite magazines. It has cards, altered projects, and layouts too. It's always full of sketches and instructions that make it just wonderful all around. This month there are free digital cutting files and a digi stamp to download too. Score! This issue is extra special to my sweet little cousin though. A little something I submitted featuring her managed to get her face on not one, but TWO pages. She's gonna be SO EXCITED when she sees it. I'm sure her friends will whoop it up too.

CARDS Magazine - December 2011

I was so honored to be the designer of the month for CARDS Magazine this past month! When the editor asked to feature me in the spot back in March I was just giddy, and here I am just as excited nearly a year later. This really has been a whirlwind of a year. With my hubs deploying last January, I decided that my new years resolution was to focus on a few of the things I love (along with loosing weight as usual). One of the main things on my list was to be consistent with submitting for publications. I'd say I was pretty successful with meeting my resolution (at least this one). I have been published at least once a month during his deployment, but more often than not three to five times, and finally this month I hit my record of eight. I guess that really does represent the culmination of my year without him. I'm ready for him to come home and resume husband and daddy duties. I think it might be time for a little break here in the near future. Our family needs it, and I'm ready to take it on 100%. I hope you'll stick around, but in the mean time here are my publication releases from last month...

CARDS Magazine - November 2011

Just one last month...

Extra! Extra!

"December is full of ideas for Merry Christmas, Gift Card Holders, Jewels, Congratulations, Fabric, New Years, Holiday Tags, Cards for Boys, I love you, Home Sweet Home, and so much more! You'll love the Things We Love section - Spellbinders is on the cutting "edge" of the industry with their new line of Edgeabilities die templates. Mixa nd match these templates to create over 70 design options! The Ultimate Card Class features Making Memories! They did it again with their new Twinkle line! Another cute-yet-elegant line that is perfect for any designer's style. Our Designer of the Month is Laura Evangeline! She is wonderfully talented crafter, mom, army wife, and much more. You don't want to miss this issue!"

CARDS Magazine - December 2011

(Whoot! Whoot! :-)

CARDS Magazine - October 2011

I love the first day of the month when I can share my publication babies with you. Here they are...

CARDS Magazine - September 2011

This color combo came together like magic. I'm totally in love with it, and apparently they liked it over at CARDS magazine too. It was in last month's issue. I hope you think it's neat too! :-)

CARDS Magazine - July 2011

Yeah, I can finally share these with you. I gave peeks of a couple of these waaaaay back a few months ago, but now I can finally do the full reveal. Whether you've already seen them in last month's issue of CARDS magazine or not, I still hope you'll enjoy them. The wedding card has to be one of my favorites since it's the sample design for what turned out to be my cousin Chelsea's wedding invitations. Making 150 of them wasn't easy, but she's WAY worth it. I crazy-love her to pieces!

CARDS Magazine - June 2011

It's that time of the month again... Here are a few of my cards that were published in last month's issue of CARDS magazine. I hope you like them!

CARDS Magazine - May 2011

 The May issue of CARDS magazine had to be one of my favorites from this past year. Every card in there was so cute. I think I bookmarked every page! Anyway, here are a few of my cards that graced the pages this past month. Enjoy!

CARDS Magazine - April 2011

Well, I can finally share a few of my April publications with you. I hope you like them as much as I enjoyed creating them for you! :-)

P.S. I'm so glad it's finally May! It's my favorite month this year. At least I hope it will be. It's my last full month on active duty before I start terminal leave from the military, I'm celebrating my first Mother's Day, my 27th birthday,and my 2nd anniversary. I really hope I can spend this month staying busy, but still maintaining some healthy breathing room for my own sanity. I've come too close the edge this past month. I need to reign it all in a bit more and refocus my energies toward things that will keep me uplifted. Here we go! :-)

Beautiful Brave Girl

I just love this journaling tag, don't you. Of course, it's from GCD Studios. Melody Ross designed such pretty collections this past season. The collections just make you feel good. They're great for girlpower cards and layouts for sure. They kinda make me wanna actually do a scrapbook page! :-)

See this card in the December 2011 issue of CARDS Magazine

Smiles are the Souls of Kisses

I really like this color combo of light blue, aqua, deep grey, and lime green. I think I'll start trying to find fabrics in these colors for a quilt. It just speaks to me!

Challenge

What a treat to find out I was a vendor challenge winner over at Two Peas for one my favorite companies. This little ditty won me some cute cute papers.

I can't wait to get my inky little fingers on this cute scooter paper.



Okay, I'm going to choose the scraplifter of the month this weekend, so please post your links here in the comment section. You can scraplift any card or project here on the blog to enter. Just post your link, so I can share it here with all the other readers. I'm sure we would all love to see what you've made. I know I would! :-)
