The big brown truck pulled up in front of our house this afternoon and left two copies of the new Papercraft magazine (May/June). Inside is my first published card. Interestingly, I did not submit it. It was one of three cards I created for a Moxie Fab challenge. Several months afterwards, I received an email from Cath Edvalson asking if I still had the card. Fortunately, I did, and here it is published. Quite exciting, actually, even though being published wasn’t one of the things on my “To Do” list.
And here is a card for a challenge on Kim Kesti’s blog, another sketch from the Go To Sketch magazine. This was a really quick card, but I like it a lot.
Cardstock: red and black from scrap file, PTI Kraft; patterned paper: Pink Paislee Bayberry Cottage 6X6 pad; sentiment: Savvy stamps; flowers from stash; brad: Making Memories; Cuttlebug embossing folder; I drew the lines on the sentiment strip with the new “no bleed” Sharpie marker.
Love the card! I bet you could publish a lot if you were so inclined. I used to submit/publish a lot, but it’s fallen of my to do list lately.

Congratulations,Karen…..and it’s a lovely card…though I do prefer your 2nd one which is simply gorgeous.
Congratulations, Karen! It really is a beautiful card, as is the 2nd one, too. I completely agree with Rinda… you make such wonderful cards; I bet you could be published quite often if you submitted.
Yay, congratulations 🙂 A well-deserved honour, your cards are so beautiful! x
Congratulations! Well deserved, for sure. Those cards are so chic! As the others have said, I’m sure you would have a lot of success if you set about seriously submitting.
First, how exciting to have your card in print. I loved it right away after seeing it! (You should submit more!) Second – thanks for playing along on Sketches week. I love your card! Such a great color scheme – just awesome.
