I so agree with the end part - just love what you do & it will really show - and it does! Hmmmm...what would I ask...I think I have pretty much worked out all the answers myself now, nothing mystifies me any longer. It's a long, hard road & rejection isn't to be taken personally, it's all about the bottom line in any industry & I think eventually we all find our perfect fit!Ella Swanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15513756748890808997noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3891972351431603536.post-25213141040982133782011-08-17T09:12:50.598-04:002011-08-17T09:12:50.598-04:00Thanks for sharing your own experiences!

Something I stru...Thanks keshet for a great series. Something I struggled with, is that if I am creating for my family and recording our memories, shouldn't I not care about publishing and design teams? But, I think to myself, if I were another kind of artist-a writer, or a painter-no one would think twice about wanting an audience for your work. I'm just venting, btw, but my point is that it's nice to see that others have the same drive.<br />Also, I do have a question: Do any companies or magazines offer payment for design work?Alizahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17747191045530263556noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3891972351431603536.post-49338709899912691662011-08-16T17:44:50.678-04:002011-08-16T17:44:50.678-04:00I like BabyBokChoy's question!
But my question...I like BabyBokChoy's question!<br />But my question is: don't you sometimes just not want to scrap?

Thanks for posting ...Another great article Keshet! Thanks for posting it for all of us. I started with CM also and distinctly recall the distributor telling me there was no way I could trust 'other' companies to be safe for my scrapbooks and I really should just stick with CM. I didn't listen, and promptly quit using most of the CM products as a result. She had no idea how that would backfire.<br /><br />I'd like to know what it is they look for when they are look for pubs and DT members. It seems to be without rhyme or reason to me sometimes.Ursula Schneiderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18440924294092449222noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3891972351431603536.post-76758676251576039602011-08-15T22:06:22.425-04:002011-08-15T22:06:22.425-04:00Great series!

You'd think they'd want to take a chance on someone new for a fresh look.

Just because others may or may not love your work, doesn't mean it is not appreciated by others!!! Thank goodness we are all different! Life would be boring without individuality.

I've never submitted for a magazine or a call. I love sharing my layouts with my friends and my family but I feel like most of what I do is pretty "simple" compared to what's out there.

I like to use up older kits and I always think it's not "new" enough to submit.
