Rejected cards - but nevertheless happy (again)

Oh, yes, I submitted to Papercrafts Magazine, too - a few of the amazing number of 2760 entries were mine - but sadly this time all of my cards were not accepted... I felt very sad, because that´s the only opportunity to get a copy of this special issue (I´m already a subscriber of the regular magazine and enjoy every issue - we don´t have anything comparable here in Austria!).
I can´t buy the special issues here in Austria and I don´t buy it in the U.S., because it´s far too expensive because of the shipping costs they charge.

First I wanted to just forget about it, but then I saw, that some of my most appreciated bloggers show their rejected cards - and they´re stunning!!!

Just take a look at Lucy´s cards - amazing!!!   http://hedgehogsandladybirds.blogspot.com/

And - she´s such a sweet lady and picked one of her commenters - ME - for a little gift - THANK YOU!!!!
That´s why I´m happy! :-)

Her example encouraged me to show at least one of my rejected entries, too:
it´s a wedding card - enjoy! ... hopefully ... ;-)
