Through power of persuasion I have decided to start my own blog. This will be a place where I can post my work in addition to providing an avenue for communicating with my scrapping buddies.
Said by practically all of my scrapbooking and non-scrapbooking friends, apparently I need to start submitting my work. Until now, I have used school as an excuse, and a legitimate excuse it was. But, it is not the only reason I have chosen not to submit my work. To put it plainly, it's frightening and no one likes rejection. And with submitting work in such a massively popular and competitive arena, like scrapbooking, it's inevitable- a normal occurrence. Nonetheless, as my dad often says, like winning the lotto, you can't win unless you buy a ticket. So with that, in order to be published (or have a chance of being published) I need to submit my work. Now that I've graduated from college, I think it's important that I start getting my pages out there for the world to see- whether it be on my blog, on a website, or in a magazine- I have to start somewhere. And so I begin. Wish me luck. Your support and words of encouragement are so appreciated and have helped me lose sight of my stupid insecurities.
Thank you all.
Well ain't you snazzy! I don't have the ambition to make my page special. It looks great!
ReplyDeleteAwesome job! It looks incredible, but I wouldn't expect any less from you. As I always am with your scrapbook pages, you've left me anxiously waiting for you to do more! Love you girl!

Bravo Amanda! You did it! I know how difficult it can be for an artist to display their work. I am so happy that you decided to post your fabulous pages and have no doubt that they will be well received. You have a true gift and your attention to detail is incredible! I'm behind you all that way!! Love You!
