bad news/good news

Bad news:
As you may have already seen, I am not Gallery Idol. :( I really wanted to go on that cruise, too!

Good news:
Cristina is! As I mentioned in my last post, if I was rooting for anyone other than myself, it was her!
I wanted to thank everyone who has inspired me, supported me, and helped me along the way. I've had a wonderful time competing, and it forced me to push my creativity-always a good thing!

More good news:
The other day I got a package from Paper Crafts with a copy of "Card Ideas for Paper Crafters" (formerly Go-To Sketches)- and on page 127 is my very first published card!!! I have 2 more coming soon, and I can't wait to start submitting to more calls.

  9. Congrats on being published. Can't wait to see your cards. You were certainly a favorite in the GI contest and while you didn't win the Cruise you accomplished much. I didn't even get in the top 20 but I'll try again next year. You made a new follower out of me with your awesome creations.

  14. I loved your party ensemble for the Gallery Idol entry. I did not see it or know about it in time to vote but all of the finalists were great. It would have been a hard choice to make. I love you work and congrats on being published. I was published long ago and I was so happy. I have submitted anything since then. I don't know why. Anyway! You did a great job and you should be so proud.

  16. First - you're awesome. I was completely rooting for you 'cause you're a whole lot of CAS genius rolled into one. Don't fret, your creations made PC stand up and take notice of you. Soon you'll be loading the glossies of their pages with all that you do!
