Last Friday the acceptance emails went out for the Paper Crafts magazine special sketch issue. When your project/s are chosen for publication, you receive an email with your next step of instructions. Its a very happy email day when those arrive! While I had several cards chosen for the issue, and that is always a huge honor, I also had several rejects. This being one of them. Does it make me sad? Possibly, but you know what? Not really. This is a card that I would never had made on my own. But I love it. LOVE the way it turned out. LOVE the way the sketch pushed me out of my usual comfort zone. I made something that makes me happy and when I send it, someone else will be happy. I guess my point is, submit, submit, submit. You never know what they are looking for. Maybe this card didn’t work in the color scheme. Maybe this was not creative enough. You just never know, and because of that, just submit. :)
I hope that you had a wonderful weekend! We did some Iowa exploring. Its nice to keep learning about our new home. And yes there is more than corn, pigs, and cows here! :) thanks for stopping by!
Supplies: Sketch #31, Spellbinders-Nested Pennants, Chipboard-Jenni Bowlin, Twine-May Arts, Gems-Hero Arts, Buttons-Papertrey Ink, Stamps-Papertrey Ink

I think the card is fantastic and as long as you do to, that is all that matters!!
I love it. I can't believe it wasn't picked. I simple, elegant, and just beautiful.
I adore your take on this sketch. Maybe more than my own. And that's coming from someone whose card *was* picked up for this crazy popular sketch. Maybe we should lobby the editors to make room for more examples of the most popular sketches.
I love this! The colors are so chic.
I have a reject of this sketch too! Lovely card Kimberly!
This card seriously made me gasp - it's stunning! I love it!
Now if this kinda card is getting rejected then I just know how tough the competition must be! Congrats on getting some of your cards chosen - can't wait to check 'em out!
Hugs,

Kimberly, adore this too... love it in fact. Sorry to hear it's not in the publication... but sounds like you got a few accepted - so congrats to you.
Wonderfully creative Kimberly. I like this alot!!
Gorgeous! And congrats on getting some cards picked up:)!!
Love this Kimberly! I submitted a similar design for this sketch (and was rejected too! LOL) - I went with buttons as well, although mine were arranged in a rainbow color pattern. I'll have to share it on my blog soon. GMTA, right? ha! While mine was very childish and playful, I love how elegant and sophisticated yours turned out and am surprised it wasn't picked up!
STUNNING!!! LOVE it!!!!
