Calling all sketchy ideas

Hi there! How would you like to have one of your layouts published in Becky Higgins’ monthly magazine column “Becky’s Sketch?” We’re currently looking for ideas to use in our September issue. Here are the details:  

Using the sketch pictured below, create a well-executed, memorable layout to submit to CK. Please note: This sketch is for the September 2009 issue. You aren’t required to use seasonal pictures, but they are a plus. Here are three easy steps to follow when it comes to sending us your ideas:

1. Layout Details

Use solid-colored cardstock, patterned paper, textured paper or digital supplies-whatever works best for your layout. Choose the page size (8 1/2″ x 11″ or 12″ x 12″) you prefer. You can scrapbook black-and-white or color photos-it doesn’t matter. You can also submit single-page layouts, cards and home décor items inspired by one or both sides of the sketch.

2. Special Instructions

Two equally sized enlargements, or one long enlargement (crossing onto both pages) take center stage in this month’s sketch. Surround the focal point with several smaller pictures and journaling, leaving space around the parameter. Submissions due April 3, 2009.

3. How to Submit

When your layout is complete, e-mail an electronic version to editorial@creatingkeepsakes.com. Be sure to include “Becky’s Sketch” in your subject line. Note: Attached files MUST be less than 300K. Include a supplies list for the layout as well.

You can also mail color copies or photographs of the layouts to:

Becky’s Sketch
Creating Keepsakes
14850 Pony Express Road
Bluffdale, UT 84065

If your layout is selected, we will contact you with details on your next steps.

In order to maintain fresh content in our magazine, we ask that you please submit layouts that have not been posted in online galleries or personal blogs that are available to the general public.

We’re excited to see what you do with this call.

Thanks!

Megan Hoeppner, Creative Editor
