Published in Take Ten Summer 2016 - Coming June 1

 I received the Summer 2016 issue of Take Ten today.   One of the cards that I had made for a previous challenge was picked to appear in the pages of this magazine.  I love this cover!   Isn't that a darling card they chose for the centerpiece?  I am always inspired by the many artists that get published in each issue.  It is amazing to me that there are so many artists with so many ideas and I have never any two remotely alike.  I love the challenge of trying to put together a card in 10 minutes.  I never throw anything away that I stamped or started for another project.   It may just be the thing needed to quickly put together a Take Ten card!
This was a very quick card to put together.  I used a line of paper from Scenic Route by Sarah Milne.  All of the sheets I have are double-sided.  Several have sentiments printed on them and I used one of those here.  I cut a panel from the printed card stock and layered it onto a card.  I adhered a ribbon across the lower half of the card.   Then I punched three circles from a coordinating card stock.  I used glue dots to attach a gold butterfly to each green circle.  I stamped the word "SOAR" onto the striped circle and attached them as shown on the upper half of the card.
        I am always thrilled to received a magazine from Stampington & Co!  I feel very privileged to be published in any of the magazines.  Thank you, Devon Warren and staff for putting this magazine together for us.

  1. YIPEE!!! I am so thrilled for you. Your art deserves to be published.
    Sharon, so glad you shared your news as I won't receive this copy. It will seem strange as it will be the first issue I haven't received for quite some time. I knew the bubble would burst at some point!!!
    Gorgeous creation - you are soaring :)
    Wishes

  2. Thank you, Lynne, for your best wishes. I really didn't think I would be published in this issue as it has been a while since I have submitted specifically to Take Ten. The card that is published was actually sent in during the time I was submitting for guest artist. (Although, looking at it, it could have been for a submission on a challenge in Stampers' Sampler.) I'm surprised you're not published in all their magazines as your work is so beautiful and versatile.
    Thank you for visiting my blog!

    Best to you,
    Sharon
