Kimber has told me that they would LOVE digital submissions. They are looking for holiday/event layouts outside of the regular Christmas/Halloween -- think New Years, Valentines, flag day, earth day etc. Good luck!

And they also said adult-themed (NOT THAT, get your mind out of the gutter) not so much children-themed pages...

LOL Janet! My mind went straight into that gutter

Paula,

I have a dumb question. I did some LOs for a yearbook for a VERY small school. They have never been seen in scrapbooking arenas, but will be published in the yearbook (where about 25 families will see them). Is that enough to disqualify them? If so, would an acceptable approach be to switch out the photos for new, unpublished ones?

Thank you for your help.

Tracy -- I forwarded your question on to Kimber. I'll let you know what she has to say.

[PaulaSG]

Here's the response:

if they've been posted online ANYWHERE, blog, school site, anywhere... no good.
the photos can be seen prior but, not the layout design.
If you have any questions you can email heresmylayout@gmail.com

Good luck!

Paula,

Thank you SO much for the help. Guess it's back to the drawing board. But I truly appreciate your looking into this for me. Thank you!

what if the layouts debuted at cha summer this year? is that considered previously published?

[PaulaSG]

Hi Rachel --
I checked with Kimber and she said:

They wouldn't be considered previously published but, they have definitely been 'seen'. Since people take photos of the booths and artwork at the show and many times, post those photos online, we can not take projects that have been used at trade shows.

thanks for checking paula!
