Guess What? I've been published again....

I am so excited to say that I was asked by Holly Young of Squigglefly to make a masculine card for the upcoming article in Simply Cards and Papercraft Magazine. My card is in issue #123 which will be out in the newstands on April 24th, 2014.
I have used a new set of Squigglefly images called: FLYING HIGH by Judith Hart. This new set comes with the image and several different sentiments!

Unfortunately they did not show the inside of the card in the magazine....where the rest of the awesome sentiment was...so it kind leaves you hangin'....

I am not going to leave you all hangin' though....here is the inside of my card, that you won't get to see in the magazine.
