After much encouragement (thanks, ladies) I decided to submit some layouts to some publications.
Below are the submissions to Canadian Scrapbooker Magazine for their fall run. It looks like all the e-mails were sent out (and no, I didn't receive one) so it's safe to assume I can put these up for you to check out (just click to make larger):
I am not deterred! I will continue to check out the submissions tab and see what they're looking for and submit ... only if I create something submittable. I was so nervous about it for so long. Thank you to everyone who was so encouraging! Now that I've gotten "over it" I will be far more comfortable submitting again in the future.
