Today I'm going to write about writing my article. Say that ten times fast.
In December of 2006 I was asked to write a monthly column in Scrapbook Trends called One Amazing Album. Every month since then I've had an article published in the magazine. What is the article you ask? Essentially, as I'm looking through submissions, if I see a mini album that particularly catches my eye, I email her and ask if I can use her album for my article. (Or I could make my own album, but that's only happened two times in the three years I've been writing the article.) A week or two later the album arrives in the mail and I hold onto it until my deadline which is the first day of every month. At that point I email my article to Tammy who edits it and makes it sound good and the album gets sent off to photography by Katie and Kristy to make it look good. A few months later, the album gets shipped back to the sender-inner and the article magically appears in the magazine, thanks to Linda, Amy, and Jeri.
The article in its entirety is 4-6 pages. I've got digital files of the intro pages of every article except the very first one so I just took a picture of the magazine itself. Starting with most recent to the very first time my article appeared, here they are in all their glory:

LOVE your article every time, Paige!
ReplyDeleteSO cool to see them all like that one after another! Such talented people out there! Happy Thursday! :)
Thats cool you did that!
ReplyDeleteYour articles always look beautiful!
ReplyDeleteI read your articles! :)
ReplyDeleteI am always inspired by mini albums! However, me making them? Not so much. I get stuck a lot of the time, but after seeing some of these and going through my older magazines I am inspired to create one from our family trip! And I thought to write down what I wanted in it prior to making it keeping myself focused to not get so overwhelmed!!!
Have a blessed weekend!
I like how the photos of you have evolved. Those ARE amazing albums! Good for you!
