Cover Girl

Today I got home from the business trip to Berlin. 3 Days full of meetings, but fortunately we also had time to go into town and do a little sightseeing. I went to Berlin twice in 1993. Things have changed a lot since then, especially in former East Berlin. We spent most of our time in that part of Berlin and I enjoyed it a lot. I think Berlin is a great city....very friendly, relaxed and spacious. And of course it has a fascinating history. If you ever go to Berlin and would like to have dinner in a trendy restaurant you should really go to Shiro i Shiro, a great place with fab food.

When I got home around 4pm today I found the latest (#3) Cards Only magazine in the mail. I was completely surprised to find one of my cards on the cover of the magazine. Wow! My very first publication in this cards magazine....never thought I would make it to the cover the first time. 7 Cards and 2 sketches designed by me were published in the magazine. Needless to say, I am very happy with the result and opportunity.



Here is a sneak of one of my cards published in the magazine. This is one of the cards that got me into the 2 Sketches 4 You DT. I still can't show you the card yet....just a sneak....so you have to wait till early November.



Below is a sneak of one of the cards that I made based on my sketch. I was asked to design sketches for the magazine, and submitted two sketches.



Well, that's all for now. Have a nice weekend!
