I’m in Take Ten!

I finally got my artist’s comp copy of the Spring Stamper’s Sampler Take Ten issue – apparently, they had the wrong zip code for my address which delayed my copy…

Anyway, after looking through it, I noticed that I have 8 cards in this issue! Not bad!

I sent these cards in a LONG time ago…but here are my photos of them:

This card is on page 40:

This card is on page 52:

This card is on page 49 (except for some reason, in the magazine it only has 2 shrinky dinks on it…I wonder if one was lost or broke during shipment…)

Page 53:

Page 64:

And for some reason, I can’t find the photos of the other three here on my computer. So you’ll just have to buy an issue of Take Ten at www.stampington.com to see them, won’t you? 😉

(And if you do, the others are on pages 7, 52 and 120)

And while I was searching the depths of my card photos, I found some others that I haven’t shared because I was entering them into contests. But since by now, I’ve obviously lost or the magazine decided not to use them, I’ll show them here…

Here are a few small projects that I entered into a Stampin’ Up! contest last year (these apparently were all LOSERS!) – all use the Measure of a Life stamp set:

Then these are a few that I submitted to Take Ten for the “Different Point of View” feature (same stamp several different ways). It’s been so long, I doubt they’ll use them now. But if they do, you get to see them here first! These samples all use the palm tree image from Balmy Breezes but in completely different ways and color schemes:

The quality of that last photo is not-so-good – I must have zoomed in on it or changed the image for something else. I think I sent those in at the same time as the others that were in the spring issue (which was back in JULY!), so who knows if they’ll ever appear in the magazine.

I also sent this series in at the same time for the “Shifting Shades” feature (same basic layout and stamps but different colors and embellishments):

I thought they were pretty good, but who knows how they decide what to publish. But again, if they do – you saw it first right here on my blog!
