July CARDs – Designer of the Month.

Posted by Michelle on August 15th, 2011 . Filed under: Cards, Published Work .

I was fortunate enough to be the CARDs magazine Designer of the Month for July.  I seriously felt like Miss America.  Only I’d never be caught in public in a bathing suit, I can’t play the piano, and I don’t really have a tiara.  But it was exciting for me just the same.  I had 5 cards in for the DOTM feature, another 2 cards were picked-up in to the rest of the magazine, and then they took another card to feature on their blog.  8 cards in one month…that’s a lot of cards.  So, I guess I’m gonna bore you with them here this week *giggles*

I love this card so much.  It’s really hodge-podgey.  Paper from Melissa Frances, chipboard from My Mind’s Eye, Jenni Bowlin bingo card; swooshed paint on the  edges, fun lace trim, baker’s twine and a button.  Really all the things I love to work with in my cards and I’m glad they put this one as the first one in my feature as it’s so me.
