2011 summer call
Scrapbook & Cards Today is pleased to announce its “fun summer 2011” call. Scrapbook & Cards Today is a beautiful, seasonally-inspired free publication that can be found in both Canadian and US independent scrapbook stores. It can also be downloaded internationally, in its entirety and for free, by visiting www.scrapbookandcards.com.
Scrapbook & Cards Today would love to see your artwork—including layouts, cards, and altered projects with the following themes:
wedding
We are looking for pages that showcase this ultimate celebration of love! Send in your pages reflecting any part of this special day—from the planning and the preparation, to the parties and showers, and of course, to the day itself.
page maps
Becky Fleck’s sketches are always inspiring and this one is no exception. Download the sketch here, use it to create a scrapbook page and then submit it to us for possible publication. Pages that simplify the sketch will definitely catch our eye!
summer cards
We are looking for your most inspiring cards that use a summer colour palette. Cards can be of any theme (graduation, birthday, thank-you, get well, etc) and can reflect your own personal style—be it simple, or a little more intricate.
organization
Are you perfectly organized, or, have you found a way that helps curb your messy ways? Share your tips and tricks with us so that you can help others in the same situation—most of us have had disastrous scrap areas at one point or other, haven’t we? Photos, as well as written tips or submissions, are welcome.
summer pages
Do you love the colours of summer? We are searching for the freshest scrapbook pages that showcase all that is wonderful about summer. These can include, but not be limited by:
- time at the beach
- summer celebrations
- graduation
- poolside fun
- camping
- Canada Day or 4th of July celebrations
- vacation and more
something special
We are always on the lookout for a “special” project to feature in our “something special” column. If you have created something outstanding, be sure to submit it for us to see!
Scrapbook & Cards Today is always looking for:
- well-balanced, double page layouts
- multi-photo, single page layouts
- unique paper crafted gift ideas
Submissions can be sent to us at ideas@scrapbookandcards.com. Please have SUMMER CALL in your reference line. Compensation includes a fabulous goodie box from our sponsors, plus two copies of Scrapbook & Cards Today! Please include your name, address, phone number, email address, and supply list. Please ensure that all files sent are under 500KB. This call ends April 5th, 2011. We look forward to seeing your work!
~ Becky Fleck, Editor-in-Chief
You always want us to use our thinking caps!!! This is good as it helps to get projects done, otherwise things get put on the back burner & collect dust, eh?
Thanks for the needed/encouraged push!
