***UPDATE*** Sorry, just realized I am not supposed to post my librarie drawer for awhile yet, to allow the magazine to remain fresh. But you can get a glimpse of it here: Scrapbook Trends
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Be sure to check out the new kits at JBS Mercantile at midnight tonight. This month's kit contains Jenni's annual addition to her Red and Black Extension and it's oh SO lovely! And you won't want to miss the gorgeous holiday themed project kit either - I'll be sharing my creations soon.
I am not much of a published paper artist. I don't submit to magazines as I simply don't have the time and I confess I am in a place where I just enjoy creating for its own sake. Nonetheless, I do understand the thrill of being published, and it was indeed a thrill when Scrapbook Trends Magazine emailed me asking to use this project that I created a while back for 7 Gypsies, featuring the Mini Librarie Drawer. Pleasant suprise turned to all-out excitement when they advised they were going to feature it on the cover! I had to email the Gypsies who still had the project. They informed me that a few of the elements on the front of the drawer had gone missing during their use of it. Fortunately, awesome Janelle Smith was able to work some Gypsy magic on it and re-created the missing parts and shipped it off to the publication in time to meet the deadline. I was gobsmacked when I walked into Hobby Lobby and saw it on the magazine rack, staring back at me. I hope you don't mind my sharing it with you - it so rarely happens that my work turns up in print, so when it did, and on the cover to boot, I just couldn't resist sharing it here! The first two photos show my original project. You can see the minute differences on the magazine cover. Thanks for letting me bask! ;)
And thank goodness we're coming down off the sugar rush! I think it's been Halloween for over a month in this house, and I am glad to see it go... we have enough candy to last us until next year, probably (if we still have all our teeth left)! Hope you had a wonderful Halloween with the kiddos! Enjoy your week.
