Becky Higging CK Sketch Get published!
Here’s how you can be involved:

1. Select a sketch from those pictured here and, using it as a guide, create a well-executed, memorable layout to submit to CK. Please note: These sketches are for our April and May 2008 issues. You aren’t required to use seasonal pictures, but they are a plus.

Use solid-colored cardstock, patterned paper or textured paper—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.

NEW!: We’re now publishing single pages inspired by one side of the sketch as well. Let’s see what you can do!

2. Special Instructions

April 2008 Instructions: A long, horizontal strip of pictures stretches across the two pages. This leaves a lot of “white space” for either a nice “visual break” or a great opportunity for embellishing. There is plenty of room for journaling. Due November 9, 2007.

May 2008 Instructions: Do you have a lot of pictures to get onto one layout? This sketch could be just what you need. Here I’ve included 26 small, square photos, a larger photo, and the “focal point” photo, which would be the largest element on your layout. There’s going to be a lot going on, visually, so keep that in mind when choosing a background – maybe solid would be best. Due December 7, 2007.

3. 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 send 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 contract and payment details. Let’s see what you can do!

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. Thank you.
