I was asked by Scrapbooking Memories Magazine to be a regular columnist for 2012 writing articles for the new HOW TO section, targeting advanced scrappers or those who are looking to advance!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Well I for one, NEVER think of myself as advanced or profess to know much about this art (compared to some talented artists), so I am still to this day dumbfounded that I was asked but I took this opportunity with both hands and went about writing and creating, so hopefully someone would be at least inspired and helped by my articles.
I have sat on this news for about 4 months now and I can finally shout it out.....my very 1st article came out this month!!!!
Here is a sneak....
So to celebrate this moment in my creative journey, I have a copy of the latest SBM magazine that needs a new home..... so who wants it!!! :)))))
LEAVE ME A COMMENT AND LET ME KNOW IF YOU WOULD LOVE TO RECEIVE THIS MAGAZINE....
This is open internationally as well :))))
I will draw out a winner on Friday 10 February 2012....
To finish up I will leave you with a layout I created last month for Manorhouse Creations....
A beautiful moment....
I loved the effect of chopping these bigger flowers in half...
Purple Pumpkin felt clouds....
And another PP bee button :))
Thanks so much for visiting :))))
