I Found Another "Published" Card I haven't Shared Yet! LOL!

Hi again everyone!
This is my second post for the day so please scroll down to see my layout.  ;)

Usually, when you have a project in a book or magazine, they would like you to wait awhile to post them on our blogs. Of course the September issue of CardMaker was a little different for me because I was the "Featured Designer" and they also featured me for several weeks on their Facebook page and asked me to show the cards form that issue. It's a good thing because I won't forget them like I did this card! LOL!  ;)
I was looking though all of my Basic Grey cards and came across it. I used their Granola stack which is an oldie but goody.  It was new when I made this card! LOL!
BTW...when I went looking for the link to Granola, I found they still have some in stock and it is on a mega clearance! The 12x12 paper pad was $20.00 and is on sale for just $5.00! Wow! That's crazy cheap!

My card was published in the "Coloring Techniques For Card Making" book by DRG Publishing along with 4 others I created. It can be found on page 31. ;)

Thanks for taking a peek!

Another of my cards that was featured in CardMaker's September issue

Hi Everyone!
This is my second post of the day sooo....
If you're looking for the Inky Antics "Our Crafty Spaces" blog hop, please scroll down. :)

CardMaker is featuring me again today on their Facebook page so I get to share another of my cards that made the September issue. :)
This is a Fall wedding card titled "Simple Elegance" and can be found on page 35. 


The call was for silhouette cards and they also needed some wedding cards so I combined the two. Who says silhouette cards have to be black and white? :)
For the card recipe, you'll have to check it out in the magazine.
Did you know they have an online version of CardMaker
It's really cool...you don't have to wait for the mail and you can see back issues and special features that are not in the paper version. I subscribe to both! :)

Hugs and happy crafting!

CardMaker Magazine Featured Designer

Hi Everyone!

This is my 2nd post of the day so please scroll down to see my latest announcement and venture! 

If you subscribe to CardMaker magazine, you probably have already seen my mug in the "Featured Designer" article of the September issue. It was such a huge honor to have been featured!
 CardMaker told me that they will also be featuring me on their Facebook page for the last 3 Tuesdays of this month. They invited me to share one of my cards that was published in that issue on each Tuesday. 
I would LOVE to! :)

The first one I'm sharing is my "Halloween Glitz" card that can be found on page 13.


It was done with a digital stamp that I illustrated called "Autumn Friends".
The beautiful ribbon that adds the "Glitz" to the card title is Purple Glitz from Really Reasonable Ribbon.
For the rest of the supply list and the directions, please see page 13 of the September issue of CardMaker.

I have a current blog candy running that is a gift from Basic Grey and myself.
It is a "Pickadilly Page Kit" that won't even be available in stores until October! I have also thrown in some coordinating ribbons and embellishments from my stash.


For a chance to win, all you have to do is:
1. Become a follower if you aren't already.
2. Leave a comment on this post or any others that I post this month.
3. As a bonus, if you go and "LIKE" CardMaker on Facebook and tell them True :D sent you, I will also throw in a "Coloring Techniques For Card Making" book that I was a co-contributor in. 
It's donated by DRG Publishing.


The winner will be announced on September 1st.

Thanks so much to DRG/CardMaker for all you do!

Thanks also to all of my awesome followers for your kind comments and for checking in on me from time to time!

Big hugs,
True :D
