One of my Favorite Cards...

I do some work with a couple of UK magazines every other month or so. My latest article was in the Issue 27 of Papercraft Essentials. I really loved the cards that I created for the article and was somewhat disappointed when I received the magazine to see that they were really washed out in the photos. Because these are some of my favorite cards ever, I had to share a little glimpse with you...





This is, I think, my favorite card that I have ever made (although I just finished some more magazine artwork this week that runs a REALLY close second.) I love it!



The article is about using office supplies in your crafts. The good news is that the magazine is filled with some awesome artwork (although I did notice a couple of the other articles that seemed to be a bit over-exposed also, but they still looked beautiful.) And if you have never bought a British craft mag, you will like them, because they offer detailed step-by-step instructions for all the artwork in them. If you are in the States, you can usually pick up these mags at Barnes & Noble (back shelves of the magazine rack in plastic covers.)

I hope that everyone had a nice Easter. We are in Texas enjoying some time with family while Jacob is on Spring Break so it will probably be a bit quiet around here this week...

smiles,
Christi

  16. Wonderful cards, lovely to see. Yeah, back shelf, so if you are short like me you have to find a tall person or a step stool to get them down, you'd think the contents were dodgy!!
    BTW, I know you are probably still away, but wanted to let you know I got my HHS prize last weekend, thanks so much. If I don't say it now, I'll probably forget! Love the goodies, especially the felt flowers - just my colours. Thanks so much.
