You should have arrived from the lovely Becky Olsen's Blog.
First off, I would like to thank Paper Crafts and the many sponsors of the contest for such a fabulous honor and wonderful prize package! Believe me, it was just like Christmas when I opened my prize boxes! So fun!
I want to share my WCMD winning entry, in case you have not yet seen it in the March/April 2012 Issue of Paper Crafts Magazine. My card, Hello Foxy, was one of four winners in the Hello/Thinking of You category. I have never won anything like this contest before and was so thrilled when I was informed.
I have been making cards for awhile and began to submit my work for publication about two years ago. I have had one other project published by Paper Crafts Magazine in the 2011 Special Issue, Holiday Cards & More Vol. 6. Here's a picture of that project, a Christmas Stocking garland.
I have also had some projects published in other publications and I thought I would share a few of those with you today as well. I love my Cricut Expression (oh, and the Zing Die Cutting machine I won too!) and I make a lot of cards with the adorable images available. Here's some that were published last year:

If you love this craft as much as I do, I encourage you to submit your projects to magazines and contests. I do not paper craft to win contests or be published but it sure is exciting when it happens, so give it a try.
I hope you enjoyed seeing what I've been up to in my studio. I do have a surprise box of crafting goodies for one lucky commenter and a copy of the March/April Issue of Paper Crafts Magazine for another, where you can see all the winning entries and some other fab projects as well.
