Heartfelt Wishes

Happy Wednesday!
Just thought I'd share some information on a couple of recent publications.
I took a long break from submitting when I was pregnant, and even now am struggling to find the time to make more than one or two cards for current calls, and very few are getting picked up. I miss this. I loved it when new calls went live. I found them so inspiring. And getting happy mail... brilliant. Always made my week!
So, recently, I had a few cards published in Paper Crafts Practical Solutions for Paper Crafters - a special edition of Paper Crafts magazine.  Here is one of them:

Fun with paper scraps and my sewing machine. And great for using up little bits left over from other cards. :) (I can;t remember what heart punch I used, so have linked you to my new fave below...)
I also had 2 big projects published in Party Ensembles, another Paper Crafts special issue.  this one is an actual book. I was so excited when it came in the post.  Me, published in an actual book!!! :)
So if you are new to card making, or a bit shy, I encourage you to submit. You never know when it will be your turn.
Have a fab day.
