The reject blog hop

Catchy title, eh?  This reject blog hop is hosted by Amber over at Damask Love and please hop over there and check out all the rejected cards from the latest Paper Crafts Go To Sketches for Cardmakers submission call. With over 2,700 submissions fighting for 288 spots, well, there are lots of awesome rejects out there that need some love.  I've got 15 rejects myself--some are good and some I thought were good at the time... LOL   I submitted 16 cards to this call and was fortunate that 1 card made it in the issue.

I completely understand that not every card can make it in an issue and it doesn't mean that your card isn't good, it means it just wasn't what they were looking for at that moment.  I also see cards published that I don't like but that doesn't mean that there aren't thousands of crafters out there who love the same card I dislike and I think Paper Crafts does a great job of providing something for everyone in their issues.  The point is that I don't take the rejection personally.

This is one of the first cards I made for the call and my favorite reject:



I used Pouty Petals by My Cute Stamps and this was for sketch  #66. 

Thanks for stopping by!
