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.

wow, this a really beautiful card, love the hearts, polkadots. Thank you so much for your tips, I think I´ll give it a go(If I dare) Congrats to the publication.
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!
Wonderful!
So pretty - and I can see why it was published!

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.
That is so exciting - congrats! And well deserved. Beautiful card.
Congrats! This is gorgeous!
Absolutely stunning card!!!! Congrats on the publication!
Adore this Lucy, congrats.
I do love your cards, Miss Lucy, and this is a GREAT one! One of these days, I'll try sewing on cards.
Your card is so pretty, Lucy! Love the shine on the sweet heart flowers!
Your such a inspiration. Your card is a beauty just like you. Congrats on the publication, I must go for it too!.
