I’m not one to submit my layouts for publishing, but a few
Scrapfest’s ago I was at the then Canadian Scrapbooker Magazine (Now Creative
Scrapbooker Magazine) booth chatting it up with Katharina Doyle. During that
conversation she encouraged me to submit my layouts. That meant having to keep
track of all my materials, techniques and processes used. Which, I am really
not that good at. Those that know me, know that I fly by the seat of my
creative pants and just let the art take me where it takes me.
Since then, every so often I would look at the submissions page
to see what the requirements were for the upcoming issue. This time I came across
the "Double The Fun" Kelly Klapstein Sketch for the Fall 2016 issue. I had some
photo’s I needed a put on a double page and thought “why not?” I created the
double page, kept it simple compared to my standard style and submitted it. Then
I waited. I didn’t put much thought into it after I pushed the send button. I
just kept scrapbooking and being creative.
Yesterday I got an
email from Jackie Ludlage, Co-founder & Editor-in-Chief of Creative
Scrapbooker Magazine, letting me know that they would like to publish the
layout I submitted. Woooo Hoooooo. Am I excited ? Heck Yeah ! Of course I am. Wouldn’t
you be !
Well I can’t tell you which layout it is and I can’t show it
to you. You’ll just have to pick up a copy of
Creative Scrapbooker Magazine
Fall 2016 issue to check it out.
Off to the Post Office I go !
