I'll be PUBBED!!

Far out! The last time I blogged was on the 14th?? Where did all the time go?

So many challenges, so many layouts to be done. OK, OK.... I'm not a highly productive scrapper. 4-5 layouts in a week is MAJOR to me... so don't you go pfftt on me.

Did a few layouts lately that I'm very happy with. But there's this particular one, I think it pretty much summed up how I felt at that time. Take a look at this.....

Title : Any Secret?

Journaling:

Month after month, I keep wondering what the magazine editors are looking for when publishing layouts.
Is it style?
Is it design?
Is it theme?
I really don’t know.
Perhaps Alissa Camahort is right … “The way we distinguish ourselves is by showing our individuality”
I will scrap the way I do….
Not because I want to follow a trend, not because they have an ideal that I should follow
But because I am not an engineered product, I am ME.

I submitted this layout to a magazine and within a few days, I got a rejection email. A REJECTION EMAIL!!! I have NEVER heard back from any magazine - PERIOD. Success or failure, I have never heard back from them! I thought .... Gee, this must have hit a nerve! Perhaps it was politically wrong, perhaps it was too rebellious for them, perhaps... perhaps... perhaps.... LOL. Again, I can only .... guess .... right? I had a good giggle out of this...

That happened a week ago.

OK, NOW FOR A REAL TOOT!

Yesterday, I got an email from another magazine editor. They have picked me for a segment in their mag, to introduce scrappers who haven't been published before. They selected two pieces of my work. One of them, a canvas that I did for a friend's teenage daughter, one that I had already given away as a birthday present. HEE HEE.... I had to ring my friend to borrow that canvas for a few weeks. Luckily they were happy to oblige.

SO.... I'M GETTING PUBBED!!!! Yeeeeeeee-ha!

OK, time to settle down. Let's post some work for you to see.... at least I hope they explain what I've been doing lately?

**again i'm having trouble uploading pics... aaarrrrgggghhhhh ... will post again later**
