Submitting Your Layouts

I've been published twice in Canadian Scrapbooker. They've since gone out of business (hopefully not related, LOL). Since I post everything here, my pages don't qualify, since they usually have to be previously unpublished pages.

 

I was published in Creating Keepsakes Magazine in their top ten issue in 2005 or 2006.

 

I haven't ever submitted anything for magazines. But was on the creative team for Get It Scrapped and loved creating for Debbie Hodge's articles.

 

I had a page picked 19 years ago for a Becky Higgins sketch article in Creating Keepsakes-- it was the first page I ever submitted! It ended up being not in the magazine but instead online only. That was the only thing I ever had published for a scrapbook magazine. I was on Debbie Hodges' "Get it Scrapped" site team for a few years so I had lots of pages shown in articles/classes on her site, which was a lot of fun!

 

I haven't ever submitted! I would love to try! Where do you submit them?

Trina gets published a bunch of times! @tjscraps I'm always in awe when I "know" the creator and it's published, lol!

 

I was published a few times back when there were quite a few scrapbook magazines. I haven’t submitted anything for ten years at least though. These days I’m not sure where one would even send submissions.

 

I would love to know where, too!
I've seen Trina's!

 

Not to worry, @HeatherB! They're still in business, but changed their name to Creative Scrapbooker a few years ago (my guess is to appeal to a broader, US market?).

I had one LO published in Canadian (now Creative) Scrapbooker, in 2016 or 2017: it was one of the first layouts that I posted at TLP, made with one of ForeverJoy's vintage kits (but I removed it from the TLP gallery when I submitted to the magazine).

Years ago, I had two other layouts published, so long ago now that I can't remember the name of one of the magazines! It was a Somerset Studio publication (I think they had a digital edition, at some point?), it didn't come out very often. The other was Scrapbooks Etc.

I miss the heyday of the scrapbooking magazines.

 

Oh wait. It's wasn't Scrapbooks Etc., it was Scrapbooking & Keepsakes. I'm surprised my page even got published, given that it was a "computer-generated layout," LOL!





I still sort of like this page, though nowadays I would scrap that photo quite differently, of course.

 

Mine too!! It was a digi layout and I was so shocked when they picked it! i don't even have the magazine anymore unfortunately!

I'm pretty sure it's this issue. I think my MIL had one so I'm going to check and see if she still had it. If not I might eBay it to buy.

 

I was published in a magazine years and years ago, I can't even remember what it was lol
I am on the Creative Team for The Simple Scrapper, so I am published in their online magazine every month.

 

Hahaha thanks for all the tags ladies

I am published quite frequently - I've only missed like 2 issues of Creative Scrapbooker (formerly Canadian Scrapbooker) in the last 10-12 editions? I've lost track. That sounds terrible - I should keep better track.

The key to getting published is SUBMIT SUBMIT SUBMIT. I submit 30-50 pages for each issue. They have specific themes, or just seasonal ones. As I create pages if I think they're publish worthy I put them in a folder 'To Submit - season (Fall, spring, etc)'. Then when those calls come up I look and see what else I've got that fits the specific calls, and submit them all.

Funny thing is the ones I submit that I think are my best work, never ever get published. The ones that I submit that I'm like - eh, if they take it they take it - often get published.


My last published pages were actually this month, in Creative Scrapbooker. They were using stuff from non-TLP designers, so I won't share the pages here

But here are some I've had published with TLP designers:

With Kristin Aagard:




With Bella Gypsy:



Scrapping with Liz / Bella Gypsy:




This one I did for MOC one year:




And this is with older stuff from Rachel (when she designed under the Captivated visions name):



And one more:



There are more, but I haven't put them all in my album ... but you get the jist lol

 

They're now 'Creative Scrapbooker'! Same publishing team, still based out of Elk Point, AB

Also - published is only for published in a print scrapbooking magazine, not if they've been posted online:

Back when phone books were still a thing (2008-2009 ish?) I had a lady in awe that I was from the same province as her, in "Digital Scrapbooking Magazine" (now defunct). She went through all the Joneses in my town to find me - called me, and asked how to get started in digi scrapping. It freaked me out lol

Only once there - I keep trying! Mainly in 'Creative Scrapbooker'. Current submissions here: http://creativescrapbooker.ca/submissions/

 

I forgot to add, for about a year I was on staff at an online scrapbooking magazine on their digital team. I didn't get paid, but I did have a whole bunch of pages published there too - it was like the Artisan Notebook. Now also closed.

 

I haven’t submitted in years, but used to do it quite frequently. I was a Creating Keepsakes Hall of Fame honorable mention, so I was in the HOF issue plus several others. I was a Memory Makers Magazine Master which lead to a year of being published in their magazine and books. I had a few in Better Homes and Gardens’ Scrapbooks Etc, but I had more photos than pages published as I used to be on their preferred photographer list.

I think pretty much everyone I was published through is gone now. Didn’t know there were still scrapping publications! It was fun to see pages in print and the checks weren’t bad either lol!
