Somerset Memories

Have you heard of that old adage, "If you don't send your ship out, it won't come in?"
 
Well, my ship came in!  Yea!!!!
 
I sent in the art journal page below I created while on the Blue Fern Studios Design Team to Stampington Publications, and that journal page got published in the October Somerset Memories Magazine.  The magazine is one of the crème de la crème of scrapbooking magazines, and over the years, I spent a lot of time viewing all the pages and art work from some of our well known scrapbooking artists. It's always so inspiring and warms your heart when you view art and read an article from your mentors.  This months magazine cover features the very well known talent of Louise Nelson.  I hope you pick up a copy and enjoy the works of Louise, Heather Jacobs, Tina Walker, Jasmine Shea, and so many others....

One of the eight Artists' Papers in the magazine was created by Meghan Horan using some of the art elements from my art journal page below.



 
 
Somerset Memories Magazine (October)...psss, my page is featured on page 79. :) 

 
 
 
I'm currently working on page three of the altered book I started last month and hope to be sharing with you the results soon.
 
Thank you for viewing and happy creating to you.
