July Pubs

Happy Friday, y'all!  Any big plans for the weekend?  Missouri is having a tax-free weekend in preparation for the upcoming school year, so I think we're going to take advantage of our proximity to stock up on a few necessities.  Every little bit helps.  But you didn't come here to gab.  Did ya ;)?  I had a trio of creations in the July 2013 Issue of CARDS Magazine, beginning with this number.  All the supplies and details for its making can be found on page 34.

And the second and third, respectively, are located on pages 124 and 150.

I'm also thrilled to share a number of recognitions that I received during the month of July.  This layout gave me the Spotlight Artist Award at City Crafter Challenge Blog.

This layout was a Terrific Thursday Feature...

AND put me in the Top 3, along with this layout, all at Lasting Memories.

This card was the Card Challenge Winner at Paper Secrets and earned me a spot guest designing, with their talented team, later this month.

It also was named a Winner at The Ribbon Reel.

This number was given The Shabby Tea Room's Honorable Mention Cup of Tea.  And finally, this card earned me the title of Top 3 at The Ribbon Reel.  Thank you so, so much to all those who made the above possible!  I'm one blessed girl.

I share all that to encourage you to say thank you to all the amazing people who make these challenges possible by playing along.  Being a layout and/or card designer truly is a thankless effort, and just knowing the papercraft community is being inspired by all our hard work goes a long way.  Thanks so much for stopping by!  Have a truly remarkable weekend!
