Publication Week!

So I thought I'd share some of my recently published cards this week.  I have so enjoyed seeing my cards in print.  I encourage all of you to submit!  Believe me, it took AGES before one of my cards was accepted.  Months and months of rejection.  I was determined not to give up, even though it felt a bit demoralising every month when nothing was chosen.  But seriously, ignore this feeling.  And go on submitting - it's definitely worth the time!  And it's SO exciting when your card gets chosen and you receive that happy email...
So here's a Valentine's card that I had published in Paper Crafts January/February magazine.  I have another card in there too...

If you've never checked it out, click HERE to see their current publication calls.  There's a FAB one on right now for Stamp It! Cards 8.
I hope I've persuaded you to have a go.  Who knows what might happen :)
I've not given any tips, as, to be honest, I am still a newbie.  But Dawn McVey's page HERE is great.  She rocks! Or email me if you like.
See you tomorrow.

    When I first got my magazine, I was paging through and saw your cards, Lucy. I ran over to my hubby and said, "I know her!" It's exciting for us to see someone's card in print that we "know," I can just imagine what it's like for you! So exciting! Love the charming, glossy hearts!

    What a beautiful card, and it is with that type of encouragement that people need in order to keep trying to submit, I think without that type of encouragement from a fellow crafter, no one would be willing to continue. I gave up a while back but am back into it again, and I'm glad I did.
