Published in Memory Makers!

Please check out my layout titled "A Second Chance At Love" on page 83 of the May/June issue of Memory Makers and feel free to tell me what you think. I'm very exited about this publication because the layout is very near and dear to me. It is of my grandfather and his second wife on their wedding day and I was their "photographer" for the event. It was so exciting to see my grandfather remarry after my grandmother passed away. I'll post the layout at a later date once the magazine is off the newsstands and the July issue is up.

My first published layout!

It was so cool seeing my very first published layout in print. Here it is - as shown in the March/April 2008 Memory Makers on page 81. I created "Grand Teton National Park" for the Reader Idea Gallery on Earth Day. The quote I chose is one that I have always loved and I kept the layout colors neutral to keep the focus on the photo, which was actually taken by my husband, Andrew. So it was as exciting for him to see the publication because it was his photo!

Cece's Birth Announcement

I created this announcement for my new baby cousin who was born on St. Patrick's Day this year. It took me awhile - I made 60 of them. I'm pretty happy with the way they turned out. I hope you like it!

I will be published in Simple Scrapbooks!

So, I am surfing online tonight and I see I have a new email. I think "okay, it's a notification for a thread I've been viewing." But oh no...it's an email from Elizabeth Dillow from Simple Scrapbooks. My "Friends to the End" Mini Album has been chosen for publication in the September/October Simple Scrapbooks! This will be my first time published in Simple Scrapbooks and I am more than thrilled.

I applied to be the May guest creative team member at Feeling Scrappy (AND GOT IT!)

Feeling Scrappy is an awesome site if you are looking for a fabulous group of scrappy friends, encouragement in your scrapping endeavours or to educate yourself on all that's out in the scrapping world. They are currently accepting applications for the Guest Creative Team member position for May and I decided to give it a go. I applied to be part of the six-month Creative Team back in February and did not get selected (oh don't worry, I will apply next time around) so I thought I'd give the guest spot a shot. Cross your fingers!

UPDATE: I GOT IT!!! YAY! I am so excited to be part of the team at Feeling Scrappy for the Month of May! Whoo-Hoo!
