xoxo {I love you}

xoxomaureenplut

Good morning!  I have a few tags that I had submitted for publication two years ago and finally got around to using them on some cards.  This first one was actually published in CARDS February 2012, when they still had a hard copy magazine (still sobbing about them going digital!).  Here’s the page…

All I did was slap a doily onto some pretty pink paper and voila, instant sweet Valentine card!  I did the same for the tag that wasn’t picked up…

I figure I should come up with a few “sort of masculine” CAS cards before taking my cards into work next week :)  Have a great day!  Hugs!

Here We Go! Enjoy the Journey

enjoythejourney

Good morning friends!  Well, I’m up early again and excited, yes, excited about the first day of school.  New pencils, new felts, CLEAN teacher desk, new outfit, salad in a jar…but most of all seeing my kids from last year.  Today’s card reminds me of enjoying the journey because that’s what it’s all about.  I sometimes forget this in the frantic phase of September.  This card was supposed to be in the September CARDS magazine under their Style section, but when they changed to an Online format, this section (and my card) got dropped.  A little disappointed, but I can share it with you now :)  Have a great day and wish me luck!  EEK!  Here we go……!

March CARDS Publications

you'remyluckycharm

Good morning!  Did you think I was pretending it was my birthday again when you saw this first card?  Ah, sadly the widget on my sidebar says it’s still 328 days until my birthday.  I’m sharing my March publications in CARDS magazine.  I was so excited to get a St. Patty’s day one in there.  I submitted one about 2 years ago and it wasn’t picked up! It bruised my ego a bit since it’s MY day!! LOL  I didn’t have the heart to make another one just to be rejected again until this card formed in my head last fall (when it was submitted).  I saw a flowing ombre of shamrocks.  So that’s what I made.  Here are the rest of the cards…

thankyou

Thanks for stopping by!  I had a busy day yesterday changing the closet over from my winter shoes and boots to sandals and flip flops!  The weatherman promises sunny skies from now on!  Fingers crossed!  I’m also organizing my old supplies into fun little goodie bags for our massive community garage sale in 2 weeks.  Out with the old and in with the new!

any questions about the supplies I used, please ask!

January and February CARDS

nicestthoughts

Good morning!  I’m sharing my last 2 months of CARDS publications.  A nice way to revisit some cards that you may have seen a while ago AND a few new ones made specifically for submission calls.  First up are the January cards…

And the February card and tags…only one tag was shown in the magazine.  My sister from Texas took the other 2 for my niece and nephew.  She tucked them into their lunches for Valentine’s Day :)

I love this last card…the colours, the flair, the sentiment, LOVE!

CARDS December Publications

everythought

Hello friends!  Well, the magic of Blogger and scheduled posts made it feel like I’ve been busy all week here, but really, I’ve been enjoying spending time with my visiting family AND helping my son move into his first place with his cousin.  I’m very excited for him as I LOVED living on my own at University and then again after he was born.  I’m back at home and doing some housecleaning in the studio.  I’ll have a new card tomorrow, but thought I’d sneak in an easy post with my projects published last month in the December CARDS magazine.  I’m so glad they picked another Frilly Flowers card…I LOVE those dies and stamps!

Okay, this next card had something go wrong in transit…can you find the problem?

What I think is funny is that they even did a close up of the broken peg!  LOL  But I’m not complaining!  Maybe it will start a new trend ;)  Have a lovely day!

November CARDS

ohboy

Good morning!  I’m up to my eyeballs in getting my Christmas cards finished and into the mail, so I’m filling in the days here with my recently published cards seen last month in CARDS magazine.  This first one was for their sketch challenge so it’s new to the blog. These next ones have been on the blog at various times this year.

October CARDS Publications

generosity

Good morning!  Just popping in quickly again with my cards that were in the recent October CARDS magazine.  I really love this first one with the layered PTI Frilly flowers.  It is such a great set!

bonjourtrigger

This second one was a Tuesday Trigger card…no go on a Moxie Fab shout out, but a go for publication :)

And this last one uses so many of my favourite things :)  Thanks for stopping by!  There was little time to stamp this past week but I should be getting back into my groove now that reports are done :)  Thanks for spending a few moments with me :)

September CARDS Publications

grandma

EEK! It’s October!  As I was leaving work on Friday after setting up the October calendar in my classroom, I realized what a busy we’re going to have!  Three field trips, Parent/Teacher interviews, an inservice, Thanksgiving and 2 birthdays!  Whew! It’s going to be a whirlwind!  So now that it’s October, I can share the cards that were in the September CARDS magazine just in case you weren’t able to get a copy :) (I get mine online!).  I love this top card…love that paper and the white seam binding, fresh, crisp and clean :)  This next one will look a little different in the magazine…yep, they flipped another one of my cards! LOL

And last, but not least…a little vintage “Miss You” card.

missyou

What are YOUR plans this October?  Crazy like mine or pretty tame?  Thanks so much for spending a little time with me today and, as always, for your sweet comments. You sure know how to make a gal smile :)

Keep Your Face to the Sunshine

sunflowersketch

Good morning!  It’s official…I’m back at work!  To start off a new school year, I thought I’d share the 2 cards I had published in the August CARDS issue.  I’ve always loved this sentiment and so happy that this card was picked up.   Here’s the “professional” shot …

ITS WHAT SUNFLOWERS DO by Maureen Plut

I was tickled as well that the card was featured in their online newsletter and recently on their Facebook Page :)  My only disappointment was that the ribbon got a little mangled en route…and I’m a stickler for a perfect bow!  UGH and LOL!  This next one was in the travel section…that is one blinged out airplane and I love it!

Thanks so much for stopping by!  Hope your Tuesday is lovely!  Wish me luck!

Happy Independence Day! (and new SALE)

independenceday

Good morning!  Well, my southern neighbours are celebrating their country’s special day today so I thought this would be the perfect time to share the card I had published in the June CARDS magazine.  I had to laugh that I’m Canadian getting a 4th of July card published, but I’ve got relatives and good friends in the US so I’m calling myself an honourary citizen :)  Not to mention I help out their economy several times each month! ACK!! LOL  Here’s one more mini card that was in the same issue…

splendidmini

oh, I love those sweet wood banners!  That’s all for me until tonight…come back for my CASE Study post…we have a new Muse!! Woohoo!  Also, if you haven’t been over to the Verve store, head over there RIGHT now to check out the new SALE…it ends July 31st!  Have a glorious day :)

Wait a Minute!

happybirthday

Ah, it’s the last day of March and I’m hoping it goes out like a lamb!  I’m also hoping to get a good seat at the Hunger Games!! LOL  I’ve recently finished all the books in the trilogy and am looking forward to the first film.  Don’t tell me how it ends!  {wink!!} I received a sweet birthday gift from my bestie, Aimes, and couldn’t wait to ink up one of these delicious clocks and coordinating sentiments.  I picked the time that Timex always displays on their clocks :)  OR where my hands go on the steering wheel when driving in snow! LOL  The colour palette is courtesty of this week’s colourQ challenge.  I’ll leave you with a couple more cards that were published this past month in CARDS. 

thankyouribbon
