Hi there, good questions and I'll do my best to answers:
1. Can I submit a 'scraplifted' lo?
In theory you shouldn't, afterall you've taken someone elses idea and used it. Sending it in for publication would imply that idea was yours. You caould alwasy get around this by asking the original creator if they mind. Its a bit cheeky, but hey you have nothing to lose if you really want to send in that layout.
2. What are the best ones to submit to?
Depends on what your goal is. Some magazines offer bigger prestige and rewards for publication, but if all you want to do do is see your layout in print then I would send them out to all of them. You can check out the magazine calls list here or go to Scrapsubmit which is a really neat website for submitting your layouts and keeps a really good track of what each magazine is looking for. Send in as many as you like but keeping to categories that they are looking for will help
3. Are there any specific 'rules' or 'etiquette' that I should follow?
Apart from the above mentioned, I can't think of any.
Also, which mags are the best to buy?
That comes down to persoanl preference and I have at one time or another bought a copy of them all to find the one I like most, though they're all very similar. Depends on your style too. Simple Scrapbooks is great fro the minimalist and short of time scrapper, CK I would say the leading scrapbook magazine and the one purchase most frequently. I also like Better Houskeeping.
Hope this helps
