Papercraft Scrapbooking Magazine Blog Hop

Hello everybody,

Welcome to Papercraft Scrapbooking Magazine Blog Hop. 


You should have come from Annette Witherspoon's blog. Don't worry if this is your first stop. I will list all the participants towards the end of the post.

It all started with playing Tuesday Trigger at Moxie Fab world for me. I looked forward to playing along the challenge every week. What an excitement when I saw my name in honourable mention :) Then more when my card was the winner. This gave me confidence about my work. It was one of my goals to get published in the prestigious Papercraft magazine. After a few attempts, my work got accepted. That thrill of waking up to see Susan's acceptance email, wow! I can never forget that :)  I am one of the lucky ones who got published many times at Papercraft Magazine when they were in print. I am forever grateful to the publication because my work got noticed in the craft community. I came to know of lot of designers, made friends, got into design teams and learned a lot in the process.  I am so sad that the legendary magazine is closing down but the memories of being part of it will always be with me. 
This is one of magazines where my card made it to the cover.


This is my card on the cover using The Craft's Meow stamps. Unfortunately The Craft's meow also closed :(


Here is my thank you card for the entire Papercraft Magazine team. 

Thanks you Forever Grateful

My trademark bright, bold and colourful card using Altenew stamps. The sentiment says it all :)

Thank you closeup
