Now appearing in Digital Scrapbooking Magazine...

Yay me!  I just got the August issue of Digital Scrapbooking Magazine, and was pleasantly surprised to find myself mentioned.  Well, not entirely surprised -- I contributed a short product review of the PURSuE Your Art "changeable art purse", as well as a sample project.  So I knew that was going to be in this issue.

But when I quickly flipped to page 61, I saw that Molly Newman mentioned me specifically in the piece, "Get Hip".  The article showcases various ways to use digital techniques to accessorize wearables, "marrying form with function in this roundup of high-style fashion."

Here's what Molly wrote:

"When I ran into idea book author and scrapbooking blogger Angie Pedersen at a recent trade show, the first thing I noticed -- after her always-present smile -- was the adorable vinyl purse hanging over her shoulder.  It featured a slew of photos of her family and colorful panels as eye-catching as any of the new patterned papers being introduced at the show.

Angie was happy to share her secret with me: her super-stylish purse was far easier to create than it looked!  She'd assembled it in minutes from a kit made by PURSuE Your Art.  It featured eight pockets, each the perfect size to hold a 2-1/2x3-1/2 artist trading card, and larger front, back, and side panels...all completely customizable.

Very cool.

My daughter was also thrilled with the piece - not so much for being proud of me, though - I guess the excitement of seeing my name in a magazine has worn off for her.  No, she was excited about HER name in print.  She is mentioned specifically in the Materials Credits, for her scanned artwork in my sample project.  Well, "fame" *is* a very personal experience - more power to her.  Not every 9-year-old is featured in Digital Scrapbooking Magazine for her original artwork.   :)
