Well Kris you should give it a go. And the money is always good. But SC and FK don't publish seen before work. That is one attraction for SBM

So Arby does that mean, that if you have already put it on your blog, or into a forum gallery you can not enter them??

I have always subed them my work that I have put up in galleries and on my blog, you just have to either take it down or cover the LO up when they say they want it. Which reminds me, Tina, one of my LOs in this gallery has been accepted, and I have no idea how to remove it..........

COngratulations to all of you ladies that have had pages picked up by the mags.

thanks , yeh i am definately giving up submitting to sbm, its not a good feeling being rejected over and over, however i know my husband really admires my work and i hope my son will in the future so thats the most important thing

I have only ever got one accepted in SBM and had a long wait till I got paid too...don't like their rejection letters but I still send them hey a girls gotta try anything lol

In SC it has previously unpublished but I suppose what they mean is not published in a mag... I must have read it to mean somthing else. And all this time I have not been subbing them to SC and FK!!!!

Congratulations Arby, Anthea and Kim for getting pubbed in this issue. Have to look out for that one. I've just bought the latest SC yesterday which has Arby and Anthea in it I think but haven't had a chance to look at it yet.

I've subbed a couple now to SC but no luck yet.

a. THE WORK will be the original creation of THE ARTISAN, being specially designed and made for THE TITLE, and not having appeared in any other form, including not having been previously published in any guise, used in a pattern pack or starter kit, exhibited at any public showing or used as a teaching project in any form of class.

This is one of the clauses in the contract for SC... So this is why I thought that they were not allowed to be seen anywhere else...

hehehe, just to jump into this old convo. I'm going to be in this issue too (SC 64) and everything that they have picked up from me has been on my blog or in a gallery, that is unless they have asked me for a LO or Article.

WOW CONGRATS GIRLS HOW EXCITING IM STILL WAITING TO SEE IF I HAD ANY SUCCESS WITH SC SENT IN ABOUT 2 TO 3 WEEKS AGO SO WE'LL SEE

good luck lis!! keep everything crossed for you!!

Good luck..fingers crossed here for you too Lis.
Buzzy x

havent seen the mag in the shops yet...toowoomba is a bit slow i think!!

i haven't seen it here yet either so hopefully if comes to our shops soon

I can't wait for it to arrive... I get more excited when I see my mates work in the mag than myown!!
And good luck keep the fingers crossed. It can take months for them to get back to you about subs!

hey when you sub, do you type a long letter with the email telling them about yourself, how long you have been scrapping etc, and stuff about the layout??? i have tried a few times, and put in a bit about myself and the layout, but have had no luck so far with any of the mags..
i wonder what they look for in a layout too, as i have seen some in the mags that i just think 'now how did they get in there??'
anyway i will keep trying!!
good luck to us all!!

I say nothing about me or the LO.
I think others say stuff but I never bother.
And yes I know what you mean about things that get in. I have thought that about some of the stuff they have published of mine!!

i guess it is what grabs their attention maybe?? something different??
well hope to see some names i know in the next few mags!!

i just sub mine and don't say much just sometimes my name and that i hope to hear from them soon that about it, maybe not saying anyhing is the key it works for arby they all love her work (but whats not to love)...

Lis... They don't love much of it!! Now if you want to see work they love have a look at Buzzy. She is afterall a current Awards for Excellence Winner!! Me I only got a lowly HM for Masters...

Anyway I think that if you keep subbing and do WHAT YOU LOVE then they will see that in your work and you will eventually get looked at. Or you can do what I do... bombard them with so much they publish you just to shut you up!!!

oh arby!! you do have quality and style in your layouts..i think it depends on what topic is coming up in the next few issues and what grabs them.. i wonder if good old bribery works ???haha..

yep thats what i think (bombarding should work),
i can't scrap much lately we are renovating our house and ALL my scrapping stuff is packed in boxes the room should be painted in the next week or two (that will make it one room down and 7 to go), we are literally living in a reno at the moment, least i'll have some thing to scrap cant wait

We just finished Renos and I can totally get where you are coming from... We are waiting for the painter to finish painting but he is so busy I can't pin him down..... Oh by the way the painter is my DH.. They say mechanics have the worst cars.. Well painters have the worst houses.

oh lis it must be awful to have a scrapping itch and not be able to scratch it!! hope the reno gets done quickly.. i put an extension on the house years ago and the whole house suffers!! i couldnt believe how far the dust traveled!!
best of luck with the reno's!!

say no more about the dust it's horrible... least the mags would be loving me at the moment cause im buying just about everyone there is LOL
