Birds and Butterflies: Snow has yet to fall, but we’re already dreaming about spring, and what’s more representative of spring than birds and butterflies? For this call, we’re looking for whimsical pages featuring soft, dreamy colors.
Color Scheme: This month's color scheme is pink, chocolatey and full of fun. How will you use it? We want to see, we want to see!
Kraft Backgrounds: For some scrappers, it’s the first thing they reach for and they’re going to love this call. For others, it’s not the norm and this will be a stretch, but we hope they’ll take the challenge. Layouts can be of any style, theme or color scheme. They just have to be on a Kraft background to be considered for publication.
Lace, Pleats & Ruffles: Nothing says homespun and full of love than lace, pleats and ruffles and for this call, we’re focusing on layouts that showcase, one, two or even all three.
Love and Romance: Valentine’s Day is upon us and love and romance is on the menu. Please note that layouts do not have to be centered around Valentine’s Day – they just need to be about someone you love and cherish and hold dear to your heart.
Monochromatic Color – Red: We’re starting a new feature this year. Each month, we’ll spotlight a different color and scrappers can only use this color. No black, white or other colors can be on your pages. Just varying shades of the selected color of the month.
No Patterned Paper OR Only Patterned Paper: Now here’s a challenge for the imagination. For this call, we want to see pages that feature either only patterned paper OR don’t have a stitch of patterned paper on them. You decide, it’s completely up to you. Or surprise us and send in both!
Scrap Your Stash – Chipboard Letters and Shapes: Another new feature for 2011! Each month, we’ll dig into our collective stashes for a popular or oft used product. Please only submit layouts that feature chipboard letters and shapes. We would also love to hear how you used them, so write up a little blurb about how you changed them up and include it in the supply list.
When a Heart Isn’t a Heart: What kind of shapes and elements can you create with a simple heart? We want to see them. They have to be on a layout and a quick bit about how you accomplished the task needs to be attached to the supply list.
Please submit electronically by December 19, 2010 HERE.
Cards & Stamping
ABC (Anything But Cards): We’re looking for paper crafting projects with a Valentine’s Day/Love flair and they can be anything made with paper such as banners, gift bags, treats, and the like. Anything but cards, that is.
Birthdays: Young or old, male or female, we’re looking for birthday cards that celebrate that special day of someone you want to send a special shout-out to.
Candy, Lollipops and Sweet Treats: When is a card more than a card? When it packs a sweet punch. Send in your cards that feature actual candy treats. We’re thinking sweet tarts, rolls of mints, and packs of gum. Let your sweet tooth rule the creative process and show us the yummies.
Color Scheme: This month's color scheme is pink, chocolatey and full of fun. How will you use it? We want to see, we want to see!
Girly Punches: Calling all punch enthusiasts. For this call, we’re focusing on cards that feature feminine style punches and anything is fair game – lace or doily borders, swirly flourishes, and even flower punches. Let your feminine side run wild and rock the girly punches.
Lace, Pleats and Ruffles: Cards aren’t just about flat and simple, so it’s time to get 3-D and incorporate lace, pleats and/or ruffles onto our cards.
Thank You/Sweet of You: Whether it’s a note, gift or perhaps just a show of support, thank you cards are always in style. Show us your cards that feature a gratitude, sweet of you theme.
Please submit electronically by December 19, 2010 HERE.
Mixed Media
Arches – Vintage Valentines: Ah, Valentine’s Day. What a feeling just those two simple words evoke. We would love to see arches with lots of red as well as more muted colors like robin’s egg blue and olive green – colors that are more reminiscent of the past, but it’s not mandatory in order to be considered for publication. In addition, textures like ribbon and trim and 3-D embellishments would be lovely.
To get your creative juices flowing and to make life a little easier, we’ve included a list of links for vintage Valentine’s Day images as well as an arch template created by Roni Johnson of Inkstains.

Artist Trading Cards – Strut Your Stuff: Anything goes and you can send in ATC’s featuring any theme, style or color scheme.

Please submit electronically by December 19, 2010 HERE.
