Spring 2012 Calls

Banners. Banners are everywhere. Let's see those layouts showcasing banners!

Deceived. Make a LO that deceives the eye - for example, the layout shows two photos but it really has eight. Send two photos so we can see both views.

The Funny Side. Believe it or not, humor has been proven to be therapeutic. In fact, a recent study found that humor causes the brain to release endorphins that act as a natural pain killer! I guess laughter really is the best medicine!! Show us how you use humor in your cards or layouts.

Timeless. It’s a new year, where has the time gone? Get out your clocks, time pieces, and clock images to create a timeless layout, album or card. Take back some time by remembering the past with a time inspired theme.

Graffiti. With artist Georgia O’Keefe as your inspiration, put on your art smock and create with “one big flower”. Use felt, paper, paint, ribbon, or a doodle, but use only one flower on your creation and make that bloom a BIG one!

Wall Street. Recycle! What better way to save money than to recycle something that was destined for the trash. It's good for your wallet AND good for the environment. Show me pages that recycle something - packaging, cardboard, even travel brochures. Anything that would have been thrown away is fair game.

Daily Drive. MMMM- MMMM Good! We'd love to see layouts (digital or hybrid) about your favorite home cooked foods or meals. Be it exotic international dinners or casseroles, mac and cheese and hot dogs, cheese cake or tiramisu, whatever makes your family happy! We can’t wait to see the layouts you “whip” up!!

Open Road. Put the focus on your journaling. Spring is a time for rebirth! Share your strategies for reenergizing yourself on a layout. Be sure to include journaling describing how and why you get recharged in this way!

Technique Turn: Sew ready for Spring! Show us your creative sewing by machine or by hand. We want to see different types of stitches,and different thread colors (sorry no faux stitching using ink). Use stitching to highlight something or use stitching to create a border, flowers...so many different things you can do with stitching. We can't wait to see how you stitch things up.

Card Corner. We want to see any and all cards using the sentiments of Graduation, Mother's Day, Spring, Baby, Congrats and Happy Birthday. Take a look at the technique calls below and make sure to include one of the aforementioned sentiments with your submission:

KISSY KISSY: No not me. I mean kiss the stamp! Stamp kissing or smooching continues to be a favorite technique and we want to feature cards using this super fun approach to stamping. Please include a brief note of how you kissed your stamp.

DIE CUTS: Whether you have the Cameo, Cricut or Pazzles, we want to see your cards creatively using die cuts. Yes, store bought pre-cut die cut shapes are fine as well.

INTERACTIVE CARDS: We want to see cards where the recipient has to do something in order to experience the full glory of your creation. Some ideas include spinner cards, pockets, folders, removable tags, etc.

Inspiration Way. Simple things in life: Draw your inspi­ra­tion from the attached image below and let your cre­ativ­ity flow! Think out of the box and make a lay­out of any size or a card or an altered item, any project goes! Please include a line in your sub­mis­sion telling us how this image inspired you.

Deadline is midnight February 18th for all calls.

Please send your work to submissions@scrapstreet.com.

Please send a separate email for each submission you would like to be considered for publication. Please keep the image size around 600 x 600 pixels. Thank you!
