I don't remember if I shared this with y'all or not, but I was invited to be one of the four regular contributors at CardMaker magazine for 2016.
I was waiting wait until the first issue (Spring) was published before sharing that is was my first issue being a regular contributor, etc. and then basketball season took over my life. By the time that was over, it seemed too late, so I just let it go, thinking I'd post about it when the Summer issue came out.
Well, the Summer issue is out and....
Imagine my excitement when I discovered today that my card AND article are the cover story for the Summer edition! They also did a little article about me as this issue's featured crafter (but I knew that was happening). More excitement!
You can order a digital subscription (or purchase a hard copy) online if they don't carry this publication in your neck of the woods. (Not that I expect you to purchase it just because I write for it. There are lots of great articles and cards in there, after all!)
Thanks for stopping and have a blessed day!
Deborah

Pretty cover card, congrat's Deborah! I did see your card in the Spring edition which was still on display last weekend. Summer takes awhile to make it's way up here.
