This is a super hard post for me to write...I have debated whether or not to share...but it's me being honest. So I thought I would join in the Rejection Train that was started over on Amber's blog for the last publication call for Paper Crafts Magazine. I loooooooove sketches...and I went all out for this call! I spent lots of hours coming up with different ideas or what papers I wanted to use...and I was so excited about my creations. All of them! I do have two favorites....but nothing was picked up. I have to say--it was super hard! I was so so so sad.
So after talking with many of my friends {Julie Campbell, Char Austin, and so many more!!}....I decided to join in the fun. Why not? What's it going to hurt?
I'm sharing only one of my rejected cards today. I just loooooooved sketch #80. I knew instantly that I wanted to make it into a carrot. I have wanted to use this saying for quite some time now...and this was the perfect time. I just love how I used my Ippity lined stamp {Authentic Man} to make the carrot lines! ACK! So cute:) I love that bunny {Ippity: Sweet Thoughts of Spring} and I love love love the pull-out. I also stamped the heart from Unity's The Best Is Yet To Be. LOOOOOVE this card! I am entering this is Unity's monthly challenge [hearts] and the Paper Piecing Challenge in the Moxie Fab World. Love love love playing along with Moxie Fab! Love creating in general:}
That's it for me today--thanks for stopping by! Maybe I needed to share this rejection so I could move on and craft again, and possibly submit this time around. Your visit was much needed in my healing:} THANK YOU!
Be blessed!!

I don't know how this card didn't get picked up - it is brilliant! What a creative way to use that sketch. I feel your pain, I made 10 cards; all rejected. I think it was just a crazy tough pool. Anyway, super awesome congrats on your feature at Moxie Fab too! ;)

This card is just so darling and super creative too! Congrats on the Moxie Fab feature and for stopping by my blog to leave me a sweet comment :)
Sav this is sooooooooo cute!! Hopefully you're long over this sadness with your Moxie Fabbyness and your CARDS brilliance - but clearly they had to reject a TON of awesome cards this time around and you should NOT let it get you down - YOU ARE AMAZING!!!
Could this BE any cuter?!! I love it...so sweet and fun, and the sentiment is adorable!! Great job! ♥♥♥
Sav, I don't believe my eyes! This incredible carrot pull-out card was NOT picked up? Unbelievable!! I LOVE it and those stripes are so perfect! Cheer up, sweetie. Your work is always amazing and inspiring, plus you've got that fabulous feature on Moxie Fab World!
I feel your pain, Sav! I didn't have any luck with the PC call either. Your carrot card is SO adorable and creative! And a big congrats on your MFW feature!
Sav, it's hard to believe this wasn't picked. This is the cutest carrot card ever! Please, please, please do try to submit again...you've already got several cards in publication, and I know you will again. You are mega-talented!
THIS card is fabulous! Rejection sucks, plain and simple, especially when you LOVE what you created. But really, isn't that what it's all about????.... making stuff that you love and love to share. You are fabulous (I know you know that!) and I came here to tell you CONGRATS on being Moxie Fab! THAT is one honor you should be tooting really LOUD! Hugs, girl!
You are FAB, Sav! This is such a cute card... how could it not be picked up? It's awesome!

Wowza. Don't be sad, this is amazing, and so are you! :)
Hey Savannah! Thanks for entering the Paper Piecing Challenge in the Moxie Fab World! I'm so glad you joined in on all the stampy fun! :)
I can relate to feeling down-I get that way sometimes about the calls. Not always, but it seems to hit me particularly hard when they're PC calls. It's my favorite card mag. On a lighter note, this card is SO adorable! I can't believe it wasn't picked up! I don't have this set yet, but when I do, I am SO case-ing you, lol! {hugs} <3
darling card, sav:) and a good congrats on your moxie feature!!
Aww, Sav, this card is just the sweetest thing! You shouldn't be down about not being picked up, who knows what they were looking for, but just because this wasn't it doesn't mean it's not fabulous! I love the way that green ribbon sticks up just like the plant coming out of the ground! What they call rejection is what I call eye candy for the rest of us. I wouldn't want to wait to see these in a magazine when I can see them next to your pretty smiling face. That's acceptance to me... :)
