MM May-June 09 Page Call

I've been wanting to post a page call for the Memory Makers Magazine PageMaps column for the longest time, but for various reasons the timing has not worked out. Until now! This page call is for the May-June 09 edition of the magazine and here are the details:

The theme for the article is how to convert 12x12 sketches to 8½x11, and vice versa. For purposes of this page call, the conversion will be from 8½x11 to 12x12. This is very important and any pages that are submitted in an 8½x11 format cannot be considered for the article. Please read all of the follow important details about your submission, as many of them are the rules of the magazine.

Your page must include at least one photo, a title and journaling. The products you use on your page must be widely available to most scrapbookers and not a discontinued item. Please note the time of year for this issue (May-June) so that you don't scrap your Halloween, holiday or winter photos (LOL!). The magazine's theme for this issue is "All in the Family," although you are not required to follow that theme. Since the article features one layout per sketch, I will be choosing one submission based on this posted sketch. That artist will be paid $50 for his/her layout and it will be returned to him/her by the magazine.

This is NOT a blog contest so the rules are a bit different. Submit your entry directly to me at becky@pagemaps.com. Please type "MM May-June" in the subject line; include your full name, address, phone number, email address, supply list and any additional information about how you converted this 8½x11 sketch to a 12x12 layout; attach a hi-res jpeg of your layout to the email. The deadline for all submissions is Tuesday, November 18, 2008 (5pm MST) and the artist selected will be notified via email. Since this layout is for publication, I will not be able to show the page here on the blog.

Most importantly, please do not post links to your submission on this blog.

Be creative, be innovative and inject your personal style into your layout. Have fun with the sketch, changing it up to fit your needs as necessary. There is no right or wrong way to do this, except that your final page must be 12x12. :)

Looking forward to seeing what you create!
