I started stamping and doing papercrafts over 10 years ago now and when I first started I found a magazine called Somerset Studio and remember telling my then sister in law “That’s the kind of art I want to make some day”. I was so impressed and inspired with the art in that magazine and started learning and teaching myself about collage art after seeing that first issue of Somerset Studio. I’ve always wanted to be published there, it’s been a dream for a long time, I’ve submitted a few things over the years and even made it in a Gallery Issue once but still wanted to be in a regular issues and now I’m so excited because it finally happened! My husband come in last night from work with the mail and had a huge grin on his face and handed me a postcard, it said I’d been published in Somerset Studio! I freaked out!:) We rushed over to Barnes and Noble and I picked up a copy and started flipping through to find out which of my pieces they had picked (I’d sent in two for their “Black and White” challenge) and when I found the page I was on I really flipped because they had published both pieces! I’m on page 115 of the Jan./Feb. 2009 issue, it’s a dream come true!

Here’s a picture of the page:
