Simply Handmade publication - Can you feel my excitement

It's finally here!

What a total surprise yesterday when I stopped by at Micheals to see if the magazine was in (was going twice a week since the 3 past weeks).... Wow total shock when I opened the page listed in the table of content... a full section dedicated to my project! 7 pages with the cover page! 7...still really can't believe it!

Paige Evans (Assistant Editor for Simply Handmade) recreated the different steps to create the scrapbook quilt featured at page 6 and 7 of the section.

I was doing the biggest happy dance ever yesterday, really thinking that at most I would have maybe 2 pages in the mag! True Kodak moment minus the camera!

And today Roberta took a few pics for me to be able to showcase this moment on my blog and potentially on a future layout! Thanks Ro for the pics!

ohhhh a bit close and with the reflexion of the flash...

yes... acting silly here, but found it funny!

And the final touch.... I was also one of the designer listed in the Editor's Letter! What a bonus!

Have a great w-end!

Cropping tomorrow at the pampered crop of the Scrapbox, if you are in the area, make sure to stop by!

A few things for today!!!

Happy Wednesday!

Well "The day" is here!
This is the layout that is featured in the Canadian Scrapbooker - Winter edition 2008!
Today from 6 to 9 at The Scrapbox if you wish to have your copy signed it's the time to visit the store! I know Jenn got a large shipment in for this wonderful event! Thanks in advance for joining the fun!

A new class is available for December at the Scrapbox! Thursday Dec 11 from 6 to 9pm! "Santa's Helper" is a 2 Page LO that fuses two very stylish paper lines: Rusty Pickle's "Christmas" and SEI's "Alpine Frost"! This would be a perfect class to take to display you or your love ones in Red Velvety Splendor! Call the store at 613-745-2215 to reserve your spot!

And finally.... I just wanted to announce that I have caved..... yes.... I did... and decided to join the "cult" of the Cuttlebug lovers! Mine is not named yet.... I need to find the perfect name for it (as per the tradition at the Scrapbox!) I made these 4 wonderful cards and used the most yummiest products on them! From the Distress Stickles, Crackle Paint and Ditress Inks (all by Tim Holtz) to the Stardust and Gel Pens... the amazing embossed papers (folders used: Swiss Dots, Bird and Swirls, Snow Dots and Snowflakes) are just shinning their best! I also used the Fancy Pants Blissful Season stamp on each cards... what the perfect combo! The cards will be featured at the store! My favorite one "Holiday Magic" love the gel pen on part of the raised surface of the green cardstock.... Love Love Love!!! You can probably not notice but on the pearl paper for the red cards all the raised surface is enhance with the Stardust pen.... really lovely and glittery!

Enjoy your Wednesday!
