Cardmaking And Papercraft Magazine...So Proud!!

This is a great magazine and i think it is one of the best for idea's,tutorials and cardmaking designers to get tips and solutions from.
But i must be honest this particular edition is my most favourite ever,why ????
because i am featured with one of my card designs.

How cool is that to be in a magazine with the designers you have followed and taken heaps of inspiration from.
I mean im in with Sharon Armstrong,Dulcie Jackson and Dorothy Wood three designers i have followed since i started out on my card and papercrafting journey and gained lot's of inspiration and techniques to use in my crafting from all of them,as they all have their own very different styles.

I also recieved a gorgeous book entitled Christmas Papercrafts for being choosen,which is written by Corrinne Bradd and has lot's of gorgeous designs and ideas for this next coming three months.
Hope you like what you see....
Hugs Alison.xxxx
