This is the cover of the March/April issue of Simple Scrapbooks. And guess what? The photo and the layout are mine. CAN YOU FREAKIN' BELIEVE IT? Well, I can't. (But don't pinch me, because if I've dreamed the whole thing I'd like it to stay real for a bit longer.) The photo is one I took of my good friend Kelly givin' some lovin' to her gorgeous baby girl. Is she cute or is she cute?
And I wrote some photography tips in the Focus on Photos article on page 54 of this issue. On this page you can also see a layout I did of Miss Nadia using a photo I took of her in the hospital just 12 hours after her birth.
Anyway, I'm not usually one to toot my own horn but I couldn't not share such exciting news.
I've got one more day at CHA with Miss Nadia and then I'm back home. I got the chance to meet so many other Simple folks yesterday and that was awesome (still not looking for any pinches) and helped Simple Scrapbooks celebrate their fifth anniversary at the show (look for photos of the cake and the fun in my next post). I'm seeing some really cool new stuff from some of my favorite manufacturers and I'm pretty sure I'm going to be adding a few new manufacturers to my favorites list.
Now I'm off to bed! G'night!
Congratulations! I've already seen the cover somewhere, and I loved the layout. I didn't know that you did it! That's great for you.
