Happy April! I can’t believe how chilly it still is here in Utah. What I can believe, however, is the unbelievable talent all of our readers have! It’s such a pleasure being able to view your layouts in the Club CK idea galleries. Your layouts are always fun and inspiring, and they always brighten my day when I’m browsing for layouts or looking for inspiration when creating my own projects.

If you haven’t had a chance to check out all of the beautiful layouts in the Club CK gallery, make sure you do! You won’t be disappointed!

Today, I need your help picking the layout in this month’s Readers’ Pick Poll that will be featured in the October 2010 issue of Creating Keepsakes magazine. It’s as easy as going to our You Be the Judge voting page, voting for your favorite, and doing it as many times that you want—there is no limit to how many times you can vote! Check back later this month to see if your favorite layout won.

Good morning! I’ve missed you all since my last post before the holidays. I hope you’re doing well.

I’ve been checking out our online gallery, and you are absolutely amazing! I love browsing the pages and looking at all the beautiful layouts and projects you share with us.

It’s time once again for you to vote for another favorite. I’ve posted the survey, now all you need to do is click on this link and vote for your personal favorite. There’s no limit to how many times you can vote, so vote as often as you like. The layout with the most votes will be featured in our July/August 2010 issue.

Here’s a sneak peek at one of the five pages you can vote on.

Have fun!

Wow! Can you believe it’s December already? I feel like the years just get shorter and shorter. Maybe that comes with getting older, but whatever the case, I hope you’re documenting the days and events important to you. Besides being significant for future generations, your layouts inspire others when they’re posted in our online gallery, helping others create and record memories as well.

In that gallery, we also find layouts to publish in Creating Keepsakes. I’d love to have your help choosing the next Readers’ Pick layout to be featured in the May/June 2010 issue of the magazine. The task is simple and will only take a few moments of your time, but be sure to participate by December 7, 2009. Click on this survey to get started, and then choose your favorite layout. That’s it! Check back on the CK blog later this month to see which page wins.

If you’re not submitting to the online gallery, we’d love to see your work. You never know, your layout may be the next Readers’ Pick page!

P.S. Congratulations to babyroo7 for creating the layout that won last month’s Readers’ Pick choice from the online survey! Her “Photo Shoot” layout will be featured in the March/April 2010 issue of Creating Keepsakes.

I’m definitely feeling fall and preparing for the holidays. (I even completed some shopping last weekend!) This time of year always puts me in a good mood—just like browsing through the pages and projects you’ve posted in our gallery always does. I love seeing so many styles and tons of inspiration. I found five layouts for you to vote on, like the one pictured below. The winner will be published in CK!

Thanks for voting to choose which page we should publish from our online gallery! Truth be told, we loved these entries, and by the amount of votes received, it appears you did, too! Since the response was so great, we’ve decided to publish the two layouts that received the most votes. And the winners are… “San Diego” by lisaleepate and “Proof “by pixiedixie. Congrats to both of our winners this month! These layouts will be featured in the February 2010 issue of Creating Keepsakes in our Reader Gallery column. Thanks to all of you who voted.
