Sorry this is late! I try to have my examples done, so I can post them at the same time as the sketch, but I'm completely stumped on this one! I have my photos chosen and placed, but can't decide on kits & elements. So, maybe you can inspire me...
This month we're doing another push for publication. Using Becky Higgins' current sketch, for the March Creating Keepsakes magazine. It's due by October 12th, so you have over a month to work on it. Just a tip, though, it's usually best to get pages in as early as possible. Editors start choosing their favorites as they come in, you want to be one of the first to catch their eye!

Details from CK:
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: This sketch is for our March 2008 issue. 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
March 2008 Instructions: The idea with this sketch is that the layout has a visual division – top & bottom halves can be different colors, whether contrasting or a subtle difference in color. All of the pictures (about 9 will work well) meet in the middle, leaving the top and bottom of the layout empty. You could also treat the empty spaces with embellishments if you want. Due October 12, 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.
