The Realities of Rejection!!

Reject - to refuse to to accept, consider, take for some purpose or use: REBUFF, REPEL.  Tough to swallow but par for the course if you are trying to get cards submitted for publication.  In fact, you should definitely check out this post by Damask Love (the Reject Blog Hop).  Once you've visited this site and seen the amazing work that didn't make the cut this round of submissions to PaperCrafts then you know that you are in mighty fine company!!  This particular card wasn't rejected from this call but from the one before this - and it's okay!!  Those things happen -
Look at all the A Muse Studio goodness going on here - Stamps from Beautiful Botanicals 2 and Hand Scripted, the new Scallop Border Set dies, some twinkle stickers, new Latte woodgrain cardstock (LOVE this) and liberal spraying of the Stardust Finishing Spray.  I even machine-stitched which is a huge big deal to me since I am not a sewer (a person who sews not to be confused with a pipe used for the removal of sewage).  In fact, rejection makes the acceptances that much sweeter!!
