On Tuesday I went up to Mystic Paper and dropped off samples for a new class. They haven’t posted it on their site yet but the details are on my site in the class section. In this class we will be making three romantic cards with a matching gift box. We will be using 7 Gypsies paper, Distress inks and the Ranger Dabber among other supplies. Be sure to bring your edge distresser with you to cut down on wait time (I only have one!)

Shortly after I got home from CHA I received an email from one of the major stamping magazines. They wanted to use one of my templates in a future article. Their plan was to have each of their designers work with it and then share the results with their readers. I thought it was a great idea and gave them my blessings. Now I’m waiting to see if it actually makes it past the planing stages and into print. I’ll let you know if it gets that far. I love to see what others have done with my templates so I’m very excited about this!

I’m also excited about the next issue of Scrapbooking.com. I had a lot of fun working on my contributions this time. One of the themes I had the most fun with was Nature/Mother Earth. While at CHA I did a Make&Take at the Artgirlz booth that got my ideas popping. I couldn’t wait to get home and purchase some of their stamps for use in a Mother Earth Shrine. It’s made and submitted so now I have to try and be patient while I wait to see if it will get picked for publication on March 1. I am really not good at this whole waiting thing.

One final note… A friend sent me an ATC chain letter. It is one of those things where you make 6 ATCs and send them to the names on a list. Then you send the letter on to six of your friends so they can do the same. If any of you would like to play please let me know. I haven’t sent my 6 letters out yet and I’m wondering who to send them to. Normally I avoid these types of things but this time I thought I’d give it a try for the sake of the friend who sent it to me. I never expect to get anything out of it but maybe I can push it along far enough for her to get a few cards.

What’s everyone working on this week? My table is clear once again and I plan to mess it up with some ATC creating.
