DECEMBER/JANUARY SKETCH CHALLENGE IS HERE.....

SKETCH CHALLENGE EXTENDED TO 31 JANUARY 2012 (due to the busy Festive season)


Hello again

It's time for another Sketch Challenge......I can't believe how quickly they come around!!

This month's Sketch has been exclusively designed for us by Shawn Lahr from Nuts About Sketches




A lot of Shawn's sketches are done with the multi-photo layout scrapper in mind so check out her blog for some other great designs to keep your creativity flowing.

Our challenge will run until the end of January 2012 so you have lots of time to have a go at this one. Remember to flip and rotate the sketch around to suit, but most importantly your layout must contain at least 3 photos to keep with the criteria of this blog. A great prize is up for grabs including a $10 voucher to spend at ScrapbookingnCraft. The winner will be drawn at random at the end of the month.

Please send your layouts to mealin@optusnet.com.au

Good luck to you all and I look forward to receiving your submission soon.

Take care, Ann :-)

NEW SKETCH CHALLENGE COMING.....

Hello again

Our new sketch challenge will be posted tomorrow, so keep an eye out for that one. We would love to receive your layout. There will be a prize for the winner drawn at random at the end of December.

Don't forget to send in your multi-photo layouts for posting on the blog - we would love to see some new participants work, so if you have been thinking of sending in your layouts, please send them to mealin@optusnet.com.au and they will be published!! Just remember to have at least 3 photos on your page - that's all; you don't need to use the latest products or styles - just 3 photos.

We look forward to receiving your submissions soon.

TFL, Ann xx

Here's the Sketch:-


You have until 26 October to submit your layout(s) which can be sent to mealin@optusnet.com.au. We will then do a random draw for a winner, rather than a voting system and a great prize will be awarded including a $10 voucher to spend one some great goodies with Scrapbookingncraft!!

Thanks very much Alycia for those. I always look forward to seeing your pages. I especially love the Photo Booth idea in your "Happy" layout - what a fabulous opportunity to take some very special photos of your family!! I love it!!

Does anyone else have some great family photos like that in a layout that they would like to submit to the blog? If so, please send them in to mealin@optusnet.com.au and you too can be published!!

Gosford Show Layout

Hello again
Jaimie has sent in another gorgeous layout to share - I love the simplicity and the colours of this layout:-

Submitted by Jaimie Ramsey
New South Wales, Australia

I think the little splashes of colour over the page removes some the starkness of the pink c/s and adds a point of interest - so simple - less is more with this design! Thank you Jaimie - I look forward to seeing some more of your layouts soon.

Take care, Ann :-)
