I am in the scallops section of the June/July issue of Paper Crafts. The whole issue is fabulous, but oh man....the scallop section just blew me away! So many gorgeous creations....I was blown away looking at them! This is my contribution to the scallop article.
I would have never thought I would have been in this special issue ever. Stamping does not come naturally to me, and I end up trashing more stamped creations than I ever keep. But, I some how ended up getting two cards picked up for this issue.
Then I looked closer at the cover, and read "158 creative ideas for EVERY skill level". Tee hee hee...my cards were surely picked up for the beginner stampers out there! :) This is one of them...as you can see- very simple.
Now comes the giveaway part! I ended up with three copies of each book. I keep a copy for myself, and give a copy to my mom. This leaves me with one copy of each book! If you would like me to RAK you with one of them (and probably some other random goodies!)...just leave me a comment telling me which issue you think would be your favorite! I will pick the winners on Friday...so be sure to leave a comment soon!I also did two cards for the CPS sketch this week! Wow...so proud of myself. Here are some sneak peeks of them!
That is about it for me today! Be sure to leave a comment if you want to win my Paper Crafts RAK!
Happy Hump Day (just for you Kimberly),
~Lea

Hi Lea! Super congrats on both issues!!! which would be my favorite? hmmm, while the Stamp It would be fun, since it's your first and that your amazing talent was in the 'beginner's' section and that is a rarity (yeah, what's up with THAT?), I would love a chance for the Paper Crafts mag! LOL, love ya! Janet
ReplyDeleteWow you go girl! I am so happy for and proud of you!
ReplyDeleteThose creations you have a sneak of are SUPER DUPER looking!
I am making cupcake pics as an assignment for a mag and I have been thinking of you all week. First as I made the pics then again today as I have been a baking fool..want to come eat some cupcakes? Because I do my own photography for this one I have LOTS of props sitting here! *wink*
I saw them both, congrats!!!! Can't wait to see the photos of your latest creations. They both look yummy.

I love your cards for the CPS sketch, and congrats on getting published in the magazine!!! I love both of the cards that you submitted. That little wedding card is just perfect!!! Anyway, I wouldn't mind getting one of these magazines and I think I would be partial to the Stamp It one because I can't get it here in Altus. The Paper Crafts one is available here and I actually just got a new subscription to it too. Can't wait to get it! Anyway, thanks for a great chance, and CONGRATS!!!

I am a stamping novice (although I still own a ton of them!) so I'd love a chance for Stamp It. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteI love to stalk your blog for inspriation :-)
I would pick the one with the scallops article just because the card is so amazing and because I never can figure out what to do with scalloped paper!
ReplyDeleteCongrats on the pubs, Lea! They look great in the mags. Can't wait to see that strawberry card!
ReplyDeleteI would love the Stamp It issue ... huge congrats on your double publication ... fabulous cards.

Hi Lea....I immediately spotted your work in my Paper Crafts issue....you know I love your stuff.....Congrats!!! I don't have the Stamp It issue though & would love to get my hands on that one!!

ReplyDeleteas usual your cards are beautiful!

I am truly a lover of scallops!!! As for stamping..., I would definitely fall in the beginner category... I'm never satisfied with a stamping project...
ReplyDeleteCongrats on the publications!
Your cards are great! My favorite magazine in the world is Paper Craft & unfortunately my subscription ran out a couple months ago. Due to some outlandish medical bills I need to get paid off first, I haven't renewed it yet. I'd be THRILLED to win:)
ReplyDeleteI think I would enjoy Stamp It! I love to stamp so seeing cards that utilize stamps is lots of fun! thanks for offering these up!
ReplyDeleteOh wow, congratulations Lea on your wonderful news!! Very well deserved I must add. Your published cards are gorgeous as are all the cards you create! I would love the papercrafts magazine as I'm not stamping just yet.. I got my first and only copy of papercrafts this month in my blog swap and it's a great mag..I haven't seen it here in Oz before.. thanks for the opportunity chance :)
ReplyDeleteGx
Huge congratulations on your fabulous DOUBLE achievement Lea! It surely must be every crafters dream to appear in one of these mags...I love them! i would LOVE to have a copy of the Stamp It mag...I love rubber stamps for many reasons. And as your card shows, "simple" can be just as stunning as elaborate...sometimes more in my book! Anyway, thanks for sharing your good fortune! bx
ReplyDeleteI admire your cards at CPS all the time. Today I thought I would check out your blog! Congrats on the cards. I, like you, am a BEGINNER stamper. I would love to have a copy of the Stamp book to try to learn more creative ways to use my stamps!
ReplyDeleteWow! Congratulations. You must be proud. I have not even flipped a page of either of these books, so if you pick me, you can pick your favorite and send it to me ;-)
ReplyDeleteLea, I have multiple copies of those too, so I'm not in the drawing; but I just wanted to tell you that those CPS cards are totally awesome--you ROCK!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on being published! I would like either magazine, but if I chose one it would probably be Stamp It. Thanks,
ReplyDeleteSwedie
Wow! Two cards picked! That's fantastic! Kudos to you! Don't short yourself on skills. ;-) Thanks for the comment on my page. I would love the Stamp mag. TFS!
ReplyDeleteI don't have any stamping/card magazines yet since they are not available in Belgium. I'd very much like to win any one of these.
ReplyDeleteThanks for a chance to win!
Greetings, Annelies
My favorite is the stamp it cards. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeletei would love a copy of the june/ july issue! your work is always darling!
ReplyDeleteThank you for the lovely comment you left on my blog and for the invite to yours. Wow I love your cards and where you got the idea that you are no good at stamping I really don't know!!!
ReplyDeleteThat pink card is so beautiful - its simplicity is just sheer talent.
I'm in the UK so neither of those mags are available here and I suppose it might cost you a bomb to post to here but if it was possible I would love the stamp it one - it sounds brilliant.

I have a real hard time finding Stamp It around here but do get Paper Crafts delivered. So I would love a chance to win Stamp It, thanks for the chance
