I hadn’t thought about submitting anything for publication, but last year, after a lot of encouragement from my dear friends Trinh and Linda, finally decided to give it a go and submit something to Paper Crafts’ submission call for the March/April 2012 issue.
Little did I think the first card I’d ever submit would be picked! I can’t tell you how over the moon I was when I received a lovely email from Susan Opel. Lol I had to read it a few times just to make sure it really was for me! So here is my card.
Stamp (Hero Arts) – Everyday Sayings
I love this post about A Day in the Life of a Paper Crafts Card and it's fun to think that my little card went on a similar journey. I'd encourage anyone to submit for publication - you never know what might happen:)
After having an op last week, I’ve been taking a little break from making anything (or doing much of anything really!) but hopefully I’ll be back again very soon.

YAY, Heather! I knew it was yours as soon as I saw it in the mag. I'm SO happy for you and know that this is just the beginning of many pubs for you. Hope you are fully recovered from your surgery!
A lotta love went into the making of that card I'd say. That alone makes it a winner. Congrats!
