Hi and welcome Griest! Its great to see you posting and now wanting to post to the gallery! No, its not to late to join, just upload your layouts to the gallery and e-mail me the full sized card (I'll PM you my e-mail once you post). This round still has about 6 weeks left! No, you don't have to use SBB product, but you will need to credit the designer only in your credits. Looking forward to seeing your work - and let me know if you have more questions.
