Congratulations!! I just got my advance copy and looked you up. What a pretty design. I love the silk flower embellishment!!

It's my 2nd time being published (pg. 86-87). The trick or treat pull tab card, so I'm on cloud nine as well.

Anyone else in the October issue of the RubberStamper?? Please let us know.

Take care, Brenda

Congrats! I'm in there too but I haven't gotten my copy yet.

Oh wow, Brenda, that is adorable! Congratulations to you too. So, do they pay money for a big acticle like yours? I'm so new at this still, I'm just curious if there is other compensation besides a free magazine.

Well, that stinks that you haven't gotten your copy yet! Your cute snail card is on page 64. Congratulations to you too!

Right on SCS Sistah!!

Mary,

I don't know if there is a way to get more compensation than a free magazine from the Rubber Stamper. When I sent my card in, I had no idea it would be published in its own article. It could just as well have been in the cards from our readers section. I was also published in the September issue with the stamping on pantyhose article. Again, my only compensation was the free issue. I believe there are some magazines that compensate a bit more. Perhaps you could start a separate thread to see what others magazines do to compensate their contributers. My feeling is that the compensation won't be too much more than a free issue, but I could be wrong. As for myself, it has been a really exciting experience seeing my name and my cards published and for now that's enough compensation for me. :)

Take care, Brenda

I love your card! Isn't it fun to have so many 'famous' SCSers?

I had 2 cards in the October issue of The Rubber Stamper, also. One's on page 94 (pumpkin with striped background) and the other is on page 67 (dragonflies on paintchip in mint).

PS: With regard to the compensation issue, there are LOTS of stamp companies and embellishment companies that pay money or give gift certificates for having their product(s) published and mentioned in magazines. Here's One Resource

Congratulations, Mary!!!! That is soooo exciting! I hope that I can be published someday, but I have to submit first!!!!! I think that I submitted so much to Creating Keepsakes scrapbook magazine that wasn't accepted that I lost my confidence!!!!
I can't wait to get my issue to see all of you talented girls!!!!!!

Congratulations!!! Good for you! It is always so much fun to see friends in print!!!!!

Woo hoo!!!!!!!!!!!! :D

WAY TO GO!!! What an awesome thing to have happen.

How exciting! Congratulations to you :)

Woo Hoo!
 

A Big Congrats to you!! How exciting that must be.

I knew we were surrounded by talented people but with so many of our "artists" being published, I feel I'm surrounded by celebrities! Congratulations to all of you published this month! Now I have to go get this magazine too! (I just subscribed to 2 others)!
