Rejects Blog Hop!

Well I took the chance and submitted two cards to PaperCrafts for their Go-to Sketches for Card Makers issue. Didn't get a happy email for either one though. Considering the odds (2760 submissions and only 288 cards would make it), add to that I'm a newbie, I honestly would of been surprised if I had received an email.

Damask Love has started a reject blog hop for thoe of us who didn't make the cut. Make sure you stop by her blog so you can visit other blogs with amazing rejects!
