I have been scrap booking for many years and thoroughly love the process. I scrap mostly for personal relaxation and enjoyment. The kids love to page through their books. Nadia often asks me to read her's. I have been serving as part of the Creative Team for Visual Designs by Chris for many years. I have enjoyed this responsibility as well. But, I still have aspirations of being published in a book or magazine. I have been submitting pages occasionally, but nothing has ever been requested. About 2 weeks ago, that changed. 4 scrapbook pages have been requested. Yes, I said 4! I am actually in shock. It will be so much fun to see my name in print. I will show you when I can.
I will also be serving a 3 month position (May - June) for an online sketch site called Let's Scrap. I will create a page every week to be shared on their website. I will also share them here with you.
Unfortunately, none of these submissions or the creative team position have financial reimbursement, It's just an ego builder. I can now brag about being published. It's really quite trivial in the scope of life, but fun none the less.

I think it's quite an achievement to be published. Think of how many people submit things...and then they picked you!! That's something to be quite proud of. Thanks for sharing and looking forward to seeing your name in print.
