Attention card makers: it's time to show off your handmade best!

The folks over at Rockport Publishers/Quarry Books asked us to spread the word about their call for entries. So gather your greetings and submit them to the 1000 Handmade Cards book project by Rockport Publishers/Quarry Books. The publishers are seeking beautiful examples of handmade greeting cards, and you could be included in the published work!

Eligible cards may be: 

■ Watercolors, acrylics or any painted media
■ Block prints, silkscreens, or stamped cards
■ Drawing and calligraphy
■ Paper art and scrapbooking techniques
■ Photography
■ Hand-sewn or hand-stitched cards
■ Collage and mixed media, anything from paper, plastic, and fabric to natural and found objects
■ The sky’s the limit as long as it’s handmade!

Deadline for entries is April 15, 2008, so finish up your taxes and get your cards in order.

I'm so excited that they contacted me to submit 3 of my cards. I haven't been in their books before, but I wanted to say that I LOVE the cards you chose for this article. Annarubyking is one of my absolute favorites! She does wonderful work!

I could not find whether or not international contestants were welcome too. I'm hoping that means they are. ;)
