I rarely ever submit to anything. I am too saddened by rejection and it’s often so much work. Especially to submit to magazines. I also always journal on my layouts and my handwriting is not beautiful or often legible. Which does not make me a good candidate. So it’s very rare to see any of my pages in a magazine.
However, I had the amazing honor of being published in the November/December 2010 issue of Swedish Scrapbooking m. m. magazine. They picked up a few of my layouts and a minibook.
This is a CHA Summer layout I made for The Girls’ Paperie
mine are the two on the right, more The Girls’ Paperie.
the mini i made with Maya Road goodies.
And then they did a feature article about my layout a day in may adventure.
Even though I cannot understand a word of it, I was so incredibly delighted to see my work in print. I am deeply thankful to scrapbooking m.m. for making me so so happy.
Thank you for letting me share my joy.
Yeah! That’s great! I’m happy for you! Love your layouts.
Seriously fabulous! I read the post title and figured that it’d be one item. Nope! I was pleasantly surprised and TOTALLY wish I could read Swedish. Congrats!
Yes! It’s really great! You make such beautiful things!
Congratulations Karen! I am so excited for you!

I feel the same way about submitting…I’ve mostly stopped. I get enough rejections from literary mags, I can’t pile it on w/ the scrapbooking mags too! 😉
