Hi everyone, just a little update to what's been happening in my very crafty world! Firstly, I'm very excited to share with you that I was recently published in Australian Simply Cards Magazine! I was honoured to receive a ' Highly Commended' title for my entry into their annual Cardmaker of The Year competition. I plan to enter again this year and hopefully win first place or a runner-up spot! The winner not only receives $3,000 worth of crafting goodies, but they also get to have their own regular spot in the magazine - what an exciting prize! I did not expect any mention at all, as my entries ended up being quite rushed. I'm hoping this year I can put sufficient time into preparing my entries. I know I didn't reach my full potential with my entries, but I did the best I could with the time frame I had! What has this experience taught me? Don't doubt your abilities, just have a go. If you are doing something you love, you will never feel disappointed whatever the outcome! Secondly, I was able to attend the Australian Papercrafts Festival in Penrith NSW at the beginning of May, and I picked up lots of great new items to add to my craft stash! I really love watching new techniques and seeing new products. Something I've only recently been getting into is using stencils. There's such a wide range out there, and with inspiring tutorials from crafty experts such as Tim Holtz, there's endless techniques and mediums you can use with them! And thirdly, I've been working with my beloved alcohol inks to create beautiful original artworks. I absolutely love my alcohol inks, and I can't wait to use this medium more and more. I'm currently working on a large abstract artwork I've been commissioned to create, and hope that this will set a precedence for future artworks! Just some little updates from me for now! Thanks for reading :) xo Kat
