Are you Stamping Royalty? Do you want to be?
 
SO i've entered Papercrafts Stamping Royalty Contest for the last 3 years. No luck so far, but here's hoping the 3rd time's the charm!

What I want to know is, have you ever been stamping royalty? Post a link to your gallery so I can see what I need to do.

Did you enter this year? Post a link so I can see what my competition looks like!;)

Good luck to everyone who entered this year!

krystie lee 03-31-2009 07:11 PM

I have not, nor have I ever entered, but I wanted to wish you luck! I'm a fan of your gallery, I think your work is beautiful! :)

Cammie 03-31-2009 07:26 PM

Fingers crossed for you--you have a great gallery!

bondgurl 03-31-2009 07:28 PM

Zowie!

Compliments from the Dirty Dozen (and alumni) are a prize in themselves! Thanks ladies!

Anyone else? Don't be shy!

momis mama 03-31-2009 07:38 PM

not a dirty dozen or alumni...

but still wishing you well!


good luck!

I didn't enter, I don't think I would ever be stamping royalty- but best of luck to you!!!!

I won last year. I followed the directions of the contest and submitted at least 2 cards per category. I used the newest Stampin' Up! stuff I had, too. I won in the Heat Embossing & Tone-on-Tone category.

Just make sure you submit your best work. I have no idea what they are looking for because I have submitted to Paper Crafts since then and have about a 10% acceptance rate, LOL!

Have fun! I hope you win because the prizes are really good this year!! Good Luck!

Even the Rock Star pub queens tell me that their acceptance is about 10% from PC - so you're right up there, Debbie! :)

Fingers are crossed..I hope you make it...It would be a great reward for not giving up!

Thank you!!

Be sure to enter! I wasn't going to send my stuff in last summer and my 15 year old daughter made me! LOL Look what happened!!

Cammie 04-01-2009 03:54 PM

I think the *key* to this and lots of pub acceptance work---(contest or paid work) is to absolutely submit your BEST work but also submit something that someone who reads the magazine could reproduce.

Hope this helps. Good luck.

susiestampalot 04-01-2009 04:13 PM

good luck to you---your gallery is beautiful!
i entered, but only in 2 categories. i don't know when we are supposed to hear anything. keeping fingers crossed for both of us!!!

TruCarMa 04-01-2009 04:28 PM

Good luck to all of you who entered! I didn't -- but I want to next year. Keeping my fingers crossed that all of the soon-to-be-crowned will be SCSers!!!

ROTFLMBO!

That was from the early days of TITs* here on SCS.

http://www.millan.net/minimations/smileys/goodsigh.gif Good times.

(*Tiaras In Transit) ;)

I've never entered, and never will, but, best of luck to all of you that have/do!

Julia S 04-01-2009 06:04 PM

Julie...that totally counts in my book! You're always been stamping royalty to me.

OMG! I totally forgot about that! I had just joined SCS when this all was happening! Good Times!!

catdidit 04-02-2009 01:14 AM

Oh Good luck to you on that! I have never entered, meant to this time, with my card that won one of the places for 'adding color with markers, (my tiger lily card in my gallery) but sadly didnt get the card sent off in time. So I guess you would say yes, I'd love to have that honor ONE day! LOL!

Weren't they tho?!

Such great memories! We sure did laugh a lot! I can't make BBC without thinking of Cams, "DA' BOMB", and it always makes me chuckle. http://www.millan.net/minimations/smileys/goodsigh2.gif

Sorry for the mini-jack. It just evoked some fond memories! :D

OMG!!! This is PERFECT!! hehe (before my SCS days, by the time I "signed" on you were ESTABLISHED royalty!! LOL!!)

stampinsweeney 04-02-2009 06:35 AM

I have always wanted to try contests and/or magazine submissions for publication, but don't think my work is quite up to par for that. Practice, practice, practice.

Best wishes!

The magazine says "winners will be notified on or around April 13 by phone or email"

Could time go any slower???;)

Too funny!

I told the ladies at my LSS that I would wear my tiara there if I won (I sure my 4 year old DD would approve as her preschool is next door!)

I missed the deadline last year when my son was born. Wouldn't trade him for a tiara (most days), but all those late night feedings made my brain fuzzy and I forgot the submission deadline!

chanteuse 04-16-2009 03:24 PM

I entered - has anyone heard anything???

I only submitted in two categories. I just ran out of time. I know this year's cards were better than what I sent in last year... but who knows?

bondgurl 04-16-2009 03:55 PM

I haven't heard anything yet, I've been stalking the message boards at a few sites to no avail.

Either they haven't been calling yet, or no one's bragging!

ilinacrouse 04-16-2009 03:58 PM

I haven't entered, but I wanted to wish you luck too :)

bondgurl 04-16-2009 05:30 PM

[QUOTE=nillysilly_ol'bear;13772241]I entered, but was only able to submit in one category as I am dealing with mega health issues. (tumors on all my major organs - icky poo blech! :() so I'm not able to stamp the way I would like.

I hope you get better soon.

I peeked at your gallery, if this is the work you do under the weather, they'll be no stopping you once you're better!

Your work is beautiful!

chanteuse 04-16-2009 05:58 PM

Eek, OK, I will not stop holding my breath then if no one has heard. :) Best wishes to everyone who's entered - you all clearly deserve to win, no matter what happens! And to nillysilly... hugs to you. Sorry for what you're going through.

Erin K 04-16-2009 06:05 PM

Uhg I had forgotten all about it, as was my plan. I've not heard. course I'm not really expecting to hear anything. But as no one else is talking I guess I'll not give up hope. :)

jkerr1 04-20-2009 07:51 AM

Keep on stamping! Your gallery (which is not tiny at all ;D) is great - so many pretty pretty cards to ogle.

Re: Stamping Royalty, I entered this year in 2 categories, but since the 4/13 notification deadline passed and i've heard nada, I'm guessing I am not a member of Stamping Royalty :(. I've tried finding results or updates on the PC site, but haven't seen anything yet.

I do have some publication submissions out there, and am waiting to hear back. Although, like SR, I'm guessing they only notify you if you're selected, so am crossing fingers to hear back something. Good luck to all the ladies (and gents) with card proposals out there waiting to go home with an editor.

debbiemom23cs 04-20-2009 09:00 AM

When I won last year, one of the editors called me on the phone. I bet her eardrums are still ringing!!:D

JenniB04 04-20-2009 09:16 AM

I've never entered. Good luck to you! Keeping my fingers crossed for you! :)
