Join Angela (angelaNussbaum), Amy (tysMommy) and Christy (christyVW) for the Get Published Chat on August 12th at 9 PM ET.
Do you want to see your layouts in magazines, but you are not quite sure how? Do you need a little more confidence with your layouts? During the Get Published Chat, we will talk about current calls, give constructive criticism on requested layouts, and we will answer your questions about submitting to magazines.
As with most of our chats, there will also be a challenge. To help you further your chances of being published, we will select a call, and challenge you to do a layout with that theme! Be sure you come to this informative Monthly chat, you will be glad you did!

Quote Chat & Challenge
Sunday, August 17th - Time TBA
Come join Pat (PBarnes) for the Quote Challenge Crop! Including a quote on your layout can be a touching and meaningful addition, especially if you use the quote to create your own word art.
Here's how it will work. On Sunday, I'll post a thread on the Chat section of the board giving you the quote that you will use to make your own word art. It's not hard, and I will even have a layout with a Word Art example. Then we'll meet in the chat room to have fun, chat, and create our Word Art layout!
We'll post the time on Sunday, as the time changes around each time to allow participation by our international folks. Everyone can participate and create a layout, even if you can't make the chat. Hope to see you there!
Keeping Current Crop
Monday, August 18th - 4:00PM ET
Join AngRoCamp for the Keeping Current Crop on the (NEW DAY!!) third Monday of each month. In August we'll enjoy an afternoon crop beginning at 4 p.m. Eastern Time.
Don't let those photos pile up and become frustrating or overwhelming. Join us in the chat room for fun and focus on “keeping current” as we each tackle our most recent pictures and stories. So grab the last photos that are still hanging out on your camera's memory card and get to work so you can say with confidence, “I'm current!”
