I used to do it...they'll even send you an "artist comp" magazine...which is awesome...since they're like $15!! I thought take ten started getting too much like stampers samper...not as much multimedia, but much more time consuming examples than "ten minute" cards, which they were supposed to showcase...i mean, 10 layer challenges don't meet my idea of "10 minutes!" YOU would show them what it's supposed to be about!

Surely this blog is testament to your ability. I hear what you say but I still say go for it (believe me it really does feel good when accepted)<br />This card is just so sweet, I love using floss when you know you need something but ribbon is just too heavy. I totally agree that this type of floss (called Pearl Cotton over here) works better than the stranded thread although I have been known to use it ;)<br />TFSChristine Mhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11033189750665972777noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9008375791436102784.post-20952969645710363762010-03-14T10:17:16.562-04:002010-03-14T10:17:16.562-04:00Mary Dawn, Congratulations!
Susie, I bought the ...Mary Dawn, Congratulations! <br /><br />Susie, I bought the floss at Hobby Lobby, but I can't remember which department. It comes in multipacks of lots of colors and is very inexpensive. It won't hurt your wallet at all. I like it better than DMC floss (cross-stitch floss)because it's tidier and doesn't separate.<br /><br />Bahb, I like pretty much all the magazines because I find inspiration in all of them. And not all my cards make me happy. For every card I show on the blog, I've made ten I'm not wild about. <br /><br />The big problem with submitting to mags is the time commentment. With three blogs, two kids, a DH and volunteer work, I'm happy to get time to stamp at all. Giving some of that time over to submissions when there's such a big chance of rejection seems a bit like work.Susan Raihalahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03018860599601419989noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9008375791436102784.post-22086714685093423932010-03-14T09:55:33.378-04:002010-03-14T09:55:33.378-04:00I've never seen the floss before either.
