View Full Version : a little toot
I hope nobody minds me bragging but I had a phone call yesterday morning from the new simply stamping magazine asking me if I would be interested in doing some altered art for them. I was really pleased to be asked and would have loved to but I am under an exclusivity contract with scrapbook inspirations.
Still, it was a real boost to my confidence :)

It's nice to be able to turn it down because you're already in demand:)
Thanks girls, the best bit for me was that the lady hadn't seen any of my scrapping stuff or heard of me, she had seen some altered art of mine on the internet! It was nice being asked because of what I made and not because I was in another mag. I was gutted not to be able to do it, I think it would be great if a magazine took off with loads of altered stuff in it over here.

Well done Jane.....you wanted woman !!!...............
congrats Jane :) I always have happy dreams about this happening to me - or someone asking me to be on a design team and me turning them down LOL
I hope you pointed her towards one of the many other talented alterers you know who aren't under contractual obligations :)

Congrats, no surprise though! Won't SI give you some leeway on this I mean the altered art is hardly in direct competition with a mainstream scrapbook mag? Have you asked?

well done you!! what a shame you have to say no - couldn't obi-jane-kenobi do it!!!!
or there is a side to Jane that we dont know but can only suspect!
That would be telling....
Suzanne, I think I would probably get away with it if I went ahead but Future team have been very good to me and I would hate to rock the boat for the sake of a couple of articles, it just wouldn't feel right. I'll stick with them, we have a great relationship and the editorial peeps always include us in discussions and plans, I'm part of a brilliant team and happy with my lot.
I think it is brave of Practical to go with the altered stuff in this new mag, it's the only UK stamping magazine I have seen with some 'artsy' projects, most of them are medallion stamps and peeloffs (which obviously sells well) and don't appeal to me at all. I hope they continue in the same style and we see loads of UKS alterers in there

Now how cool is that? And you are well within your rights to TOOT out loud

What a shame you have to turn it down. With your obvious knack for getting all forms of art just right you should have the pick of what you wanna do and when you wanna do it.
You go girl!

well done! would be great tho if there was a UK altering art mag
Well it will only work if people buy the magazine and submit to it so that they have lots of good stuff to choose from. If the next issue is anything like the last one I will definitely buy it. There is an ATC swap in it too
