Calls for Digital Scrapbooking April/May 2009 issue

T3: Tips, Techniques and Tutorials
Our hands-on how-to column, "T3," features both cutting-edge techniques from our Creative Team and tips and tutorials from our talented readers. For this issue, we're looking for:

  • Spring! Share your layouts about spring holidays and traditions, warm-weather fashion, spring sports... anything that makes us "think spring."
  • Shape! Do you have a special tip for using shapes in a layout? A layout featuring strong shapes? A layout or project that's a shape other than a rectangle or square? Send it our way!

We also welcome layouts on other themes or topics, and we're always in search of seasonal photography and awesome new ideas.

Here's what we're looking for:
Tips. Have you found a great way to use layer blending modes? A quick fix for less-than-perfect photos? Send us your tips of 50 words or fewer on any digital scrapbooking subject, along with a layout or project that illustrates the tip in action.

Techniques. Busy scrapbookers are always looking for ways to make scrapbooking quicker and easier. Send us your time- and stress-saving tricks, along with a layout or project that shows how you've used them to create.

Tutorials. Send us your projects featuring intermediate- to advanced-level techniques, along with complete instructions for achieving the look. (Check out the step-by-step tutorials in our February/March "Kick It Up" column for an idea of what we're looking for.)

Are You Cover Material?
We're looking for simply amazing reader layouts to feature on our cover. For consideration, layout should have the following:

  •  a single large, well-composed photo of one (or, at the most, two) subjects, preferably making eye contact with the camera
  •  "only with digital" techniques combined with a clean overall design
  •  legible title and minimal journaling
  •  seasonal focus—for this issue, we'll be looking for outdoor spring shots, featuring spring clothing and activities.

Please submit no more than three layouts to this call. and include the *subject: T3, Cover, General Submission. Please also list the application: Adobe Photoshop, Adobe Photoshop Elements, Adobe InDesign, Adobe Illustrator, Microsoft Digital Image Suite, Apple iPhoto, MS Publisher, LumaPix FotoFusion or other. We request that you also include the supply list. Please send submissions to: This e-mail address is being protected from spam bots, you need JavaScript enabled to view it .

I do attempt to make cards for family and friends on their special occasions if my health allows at the time but I usually start with a pattern from a magazine or website and/or redesign as much as I'm able. Hence when I saw the "sweepstakes" I t...
