Submission themes due 25th May, 2011

Vintage - take us back to a time long ago with pages scrapped in this style reminiscent of yesteryear

Clean and simple - if your scrapping involves clean linesand simple yet effective design we want your pages now!

Spooks and ghouls - we're gearing up for Halloween so send us your scariest pages - trick or treat?

Grunge - we're looking for pages with attitude; think rock chic with an urban edge

Ohhhhh Sue - there is grunge in there - right up your alley!!!!!!

I know! But I can't send anything in until I get my comp back.

Is there anything I can send in for you. If it is on your blog - perhaps I can save a photo to here and do it from this end?

Thanks Ant. I'll let you know if I do. I should have my comp back before subs are due.

well I got one picked up for 'Grunge' and one picked up for 'Clean & Simple'...has anyone else subbed for any of these themes yet? (I know a few of you should have a grunge LO laying around from completing my March monthly chall, so SEND THEM IN!!!)

Congrats again Sue.
I subbed a stack for vintage and 2 for grunge. And they picked up one of my vintage layouts. It was my layout for Vicki's monthly challenge in April.
The one I removed from lovelybug bits n bobs facebook page the other day Sue

I have a few more vintage to photograph and sub.

WTG Sarah! Good luck with your other subs too.

Congrats Sarah...that's brilliant! I've bombarded them with a host of layouts...hehe now we'll just have to wait & see???

I have a huge to-do list for today, but on it i have put a note to email some layouts too, so i won't hold my breathe but i will keep my fingers crossed!!

YAY!!! Keep sending them in everyone!

Hehe the only trick with bombarding them with lots of layouts is the bombardment of lots of rejections...but the last email I opened was a YES!!! Sorry Vick, it means you have to remove one of my layouts from the gallery...have sent you a PM, thank you. & a special thank you must go to Ant who set the challenge...hehe I would have never have done it without your challenge, so cheers

Paula!!! (If you PM me I can do it now for you.)

Guess what??? I just got ANOTHER yes too!!! (I have 3 to send in to them now.)

WooHoo! This is great. Congrats Paula on the acceptance - glad I could be of help....LOL.

Sue - you are on fire!

Thanks for doing that Sue & congrats to you, as Ant said...you're on fire at the moment, keep it up! Can you package them up altogether & save on postage???

Thanks Anthea

Woo hoo Sue and Paula! Congrats ladies x

The rest of you gals better be subbing!

WTG Girls! Good thing with sneding in a few at a time is it saves postage.
I MUST get around to subbing. I tried a couple of times but just for a general sub not the themes.
Do you girls put one LO per email or multiple LO's?

I put anything up to 3 per email Becci.

Thanks Chicky!

I sent off a few yesterday but am not holding my breath about any acceptances. I can still hope though hey?

I have *fingers crossed* for you Ant!

Thanks Chicky Babe!

I don't usually submit any of my layouts because I figure they get swamped with awesome creations by super-talented scrappers and that mine would be like a joke next to the ones they publish...

That's why I love the forum here at Top 50, 'cause everyone is so kind and non-judgemental and when someone comments on your layouts in the gallery you get that nice warm fuzzy feeling (like a hug from a friend!).

But... after a a bit of convincing from gorgeous Miss Sue, I am going to take a plunge and have a go at submitting something...

Not sure what, not sure who to and not quite sure how to...
(I'll figure out those details later...)

A very wise scrapper told me today...
You might need a thick skin sometimes...
but...
it costs nothing to submit and you are no worse off than you were before even if they say no.

Thank you oh-wise-one...
I shall see how I go and keep you posted...

I have subbed 9 layouts in one email for the vintage call Becci! Maybe I should have scaled it back a bit. Although they did accept one from that email. I think Sues idea of 3 per email would be better.

Good luck Ant!

Your work is excellent Linda! You definately shouldn't think your work would look like a Joke next to others published!
Go for it Linda!
