Jennifer, I think scrapping in spurts is not automatically excluding you from CTs. Of course they want active scrappers, but many designers also know, that some scrappers do deliever their work regulary when they are on CT gigs and scrap more periodically when not. That's a question of how convincing you explain, that you are able to do that.
I think the main "problem" of your pages regarding CT work is they don't show off much of the kits. While CTs are meant to showcase different things and styles you can do with a kit, they still all need to transport that "vibe" of the kit. When I look at your gallery, I mostly wouldn't be able to tell what kind of a kit has been used. Which is just fine for scrapbooking, but a problem for CT work.
Let me give you an example. I scrap for Lynnette and everyone knows one of her big things is the use of paper blocks. On the team we all do completely different things with her templates. From cartoonish to realistic, cluttered or more clean. Kid photos or landscapes. But if a template clearly features paper blocks as a key element, we only in a few cases delete the paper layers. It would strip the template of a certain characteristic people will likely look for, when they buy from Lynnette.
So if Traci for example has a fun, quirky, element heavy summer kit, you likely won't be able to transport that just using two neutral papers. Even minimalistic scrappers on CTs usually choose at least patterns that will show the theme of the kit.
I hope this rather long post makes some sense.
