Show us your work!

We've just posted our calls for submissions for the Aug/Sept issue... exciting stuff. This issue has a special fashion focus, and one of the calls reflects that--other than that, we're always looking for stuff that's seasonal, meaningful and just plain swell.

For this issue, subs are still being taken through the Simple Scrapbooks form. Head on over there, scroll down to the calls and send us your best stuff.

Here's what we're looking for:

Reader Gallery: Send us your layouts on any subject—we'll give special consideration to projects with a seasonal (back-to-school or fall) theme, but all styles and topics are welcome. If there's a special story or inspiration behind your layout, please share that with us as well. Submissions are due no later than Thursday, March 1.

Fashion Flashback: Do you remember your favorite party dress from childhood... the cute pair of jeans you wore all through high school... the bikini that caught your husband-to-be's eye at the beach? What about the darling sailor suit your son wore as a baby or the silk dress your mother pulled out of the closet for every night out with your dad? We're looking for layouts that celebrate the link between special clothes and special memories. Whether it's a purse or a prom dress, a necklace or a necktie, show us the role fashion has played in shaping your life. Send us your design-conscious digital layouts with journaling that tells the story behind your favorite fashion-related memories. Submissions are due no later than Thursday, March 1.

Kick It Up: Calling all tech-savvy scrappers! We're looking for layouts featuring intermediate- to advanced-level techniques with clear step-by-step instructions to inspire our readers. Send us your layouts and instructions no later than Thursday, March 1. Please note that layouts submitted for this call can only be considered if they include complete tutorial instructions and a full materials list that includes your application and any third party extras (filters, actions, textures, brushes etc.) that you used. See here for the kind of step-by-step information we're looking for.

Please submit all work saved as high-quality JPEG files, no larger than 100K each, and include complete materials lists for all. We also ask that you submit each layout in a separate email. Please submit no more than five such emails per call category.
