It's been a while since I update my post. A lot of things have been going around (good things though) and I'm too busy to make cards. I hope this week I'm able to sit down and be creative again :) This is a card I made yesterday. A very quick and simple card that took me only 15 mins to complete it.
Christmas is just a month away and I have lots of cards to make for this festive season. Everyone has been making Christmas cards and I'm falling behind. Got to start working on it soon....I hope :)
I thought I would share this with you.....I recently submitted seven cards to CARDS April call and none of them were picked. I try not to take this personally but somehow I feel a bit sad. So many thoughts have been running through my mind but one thing I keep telling myself is don't give up just because of rejection. I should learn from rejection/failure and keep improving myself. Not sure if I have the courage to submit again but I will try. And congrats to all my friends (you know who you are) whose cards are being choosen....I will take you as my inspiration :)
Thanks for stopping by!
((hugs)) Cindy. You are so talented. Just keep trying, girl.
ReplyDeletePlease don't give up! I know it's really heart wrenching when you don't get anything picked up for pub but you knew know what the editors are looking for so keep submitting! I am right there with you! This is a really cute card!
ReplyDeleteCute Christmas card! Don't quit trying, your cards are great! I have submitted and been rejected too, but I tried again, and had three submitted the next time! You never know what they are looking for! Don't ever think that it's because your cards aren't good enough, because they are, it just might not be what they are looking for at that time! Keep your head up! :)
ReplyDeleteOh Cindy...love today's card!!! I love the polka dot background...Don't give up girl...your work is spectacular!
ReplyDeletewhat a great card. love the design. Do NOT feel bad about the call. Some cards are picked because they fill a need (certain color, etc)...it does NOT mean that you are not talented at all. Do not be discouraged. Your cards are FANTASTIC!!!!!!!!!!! You are very inspiring!
ReplyDeleteWhat a fabulous design! Love this card! And don't give up, your cards rock and will get picked up soon!!
ReplyDeleteKeep on trying.... :)
ReplyDeleteI also submitted to them and did not get any picked. Am feeling the sadness too but let's encourage each other to try again, shall we? :)
Lovely card this one! 15 mins only? Boy, that's super quick!! :)
That is one cute christmas card in just 15 mins!! Love it!
ReplyDeleteWell, don't be fast to quit alrite... it takes the editor a month to go through all the applications! So be patient and keep sending :)
This is gorgeous! and don't give up your stuff is fantastic and one day it will happen!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful Christmas card..!!! I'm gonna work on my MAY call submissions, are you gonna work on yours 2..?? We can then submit together, never stop trying, your cards are Gorgeous.. ;)
ReplyDeleteCindy, you are OBVIOUSLY talented! It's their loss if they're not accepting you! I had been submitting for a year before I was accepted. BIG HUGS and here's to lookin up!
ReplyDeleteReally love this card Cindy! It's refreshing to see your ornament colors paired with this green! Don't give up on the submission thing! I also sent in tons of cards and a few layouts, and none of them made it....so I have to give it another try too! Hang in there, and know that your cards and designs are so adored by me!
ReplyDeleteOh my, this is absolutely darling! Sweet, simple perfection!

This is an awesome card. Very fun!! I sent in two cards and none got picked either. I figured that I wasn't having a good time making them because I made the two especially for the pub and it was tough. The ones that got picked last year were done because I wanted to and so that's what I'll do. I'll just make cards and submit again. If it/they get chosen great and if not, next time. Try again! I know I will when I feel like it :)
ReplyDeleteWow, love to see this wonderful simple card! Anyway, congrats for the selection! I am impressed with all your cards made, simple but they are truly elegant! keep it up!
