1000 Handmade Greetings!


It's here and it's sitting on my coffee table looking gorgeous and beautiful...and it's sooo surreal...each time I walk by and glance at the cover I can't believe that I'm looking at MY card on the cover! Wow, all I can say is thanks Laura McFadden (the creator of this book), I feel honored!

When I read about the call for submissions months ago on Etsy, I decided to submit two of my cards...and I was pleasantly surprised to receive my letter of acceptance into the book.

I packaged my cards and sent them off for their photo shoot and then kind of forgot about it.

As soon as I found out it was published I quickly placed my order on Amazon.com and waited. Then it arrived...I ripped open the box and started flipping through the pages. The quality of the book and the composition of the pages is wonderful. Bright bold colors, amazing creative cards, sooo many cards to savor! Congratulations to all of the Etsy artists that are now in print, and thanks to Etsy for their Storque article about this book!

Congratulations! That is totally awesome. I can figure out one card has the hearts but which is the other one?

What a fun concept to make cards. I haven't done anything like that since I was very small.

Thanks! I love making cards so much that I just opened my second Etsy called smashgirl cards...
www.smashgirlcards.etsy.com

The second card in the book is the yellow and black card in the upper right corner of the page...it's in my shop too!
